Mercury is the closest planet to the sun at a distance of 36 million miles. The closest star to the sun is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.24 light years away. A light year is 5.9 x 10 to the 12th power. How many miles from the sun is Proxima Centauri?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.36 * 10^13 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Proxima centauri is at a distance of 4.24 light years away from the sun.

Distance in miles of Proxima centauri from the sun ;

1 light year = 5.9 * 10^12 miles

Number of light years from the sun * 5.9 * 10^12

= 4 * (5.9 * 10^12)

= 23.6 * 10^12 miles

= 2.36 * 10^13 miles

Answers

Answer:

Say you have y=2x. That is direct variation and will always pass through the origin when graphed. When x is multiplied by a number, the y value will also be changed by that number. If you add a y-intercept and change y=2x to, for example, y=2x+2, the x and the y will no longer be related by a constant ratio.

There is a guitar that originally costs $249.99. It is on sale for 15% off. You also have to pay 6% sales tax. How much will you pay for the guitar? Please show work!!!

Answers

Answer:

225.24099

Step-by-step explanation:

249.99(0.15) = 37.4985

249.99 - 37.4985 = 212.4915

212.4915(0.06) = 12.74949

212.4915 + 12.74949 = 225.24099

Answers

Answer:

The solution to the system of equations is:

[tex]x=10,\:y=4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5x-4y=34\\ -x+8y=22\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Multiply -x+8y=22 by 5:  -5x+40y=110

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5x-4y=34\\ -5x+40y=110\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

so adding the equations

[tex]-5x+40y=110[/tex]

[tex]+[/tex]

[tex]\underline{5x-4y=34}[/tex]

[tex]36y=144[/tex]

solve 36y = 144 for y:

[tex]36y=144[/tex]

divide both sides by 36

[tex]\frac{36y}{36}=\frac{144}{36}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]y=4[/tex]

For 5x-4y=34 plug in y=4

[tex]5x-4\cdot \:4=34[/tex]

[tex]5x-16=34[/tex]

Add 16 to both sides

[tex]5x-16+16=34+16[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]5x=50[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5

[tex]\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{50}{5}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x=10[/tex]

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is:

[tex]x=10,\:y=4[/tex]

What is the circumference of a circle?

It is the close curve of an equidistant point drawn from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and the circumference.

Let 'r' be the radius of the circle. The circumference of the circle will be

C = 2πr units

The radius of the semicircle is given as,

r = 26 cm

Then the circumference of the semicircle is half of the circle. Then we have

C = 1/2 x 2πr

C = πr

At r = 26 cm, then we have

C = 3.14 x 26

C = 81.64 cm

The perimeter of this semi-circle with a radius of 26 cm will be 81.64 cm.

Two figures are known as similar figures if there the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sider is in ratio. It is denoted by the symbol "~".

I need this answer quick!

Answers

Answer:

Train A is 287 tons

Train B is 94 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

My method of solving it may have been a bit different from how you were taught. I divided 381 by 2 to give both trains an equal weight of 190.5 tons. I then divided the difference, 193, by 2 to get 96.5 tons. I subtracted the new difference from the weight of Train B and added it to train A. To double check, you can grab a calculator and see that their weights are equal to 381.

Write a function to represent each series of transformations:
• rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, point O, then a reflection across the x-axis
• reflection across the y-axis, then a translation a units to the right and b units up
• translation a units to the right and b units up, then a rotation of 180 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, then a reflection across the y-axis ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, I believe you would need to use a rotation matrix; to rotate 90º counterclockwise, the matrices would look like ; you would then multiply those out. A reflection across the x-axis would be changing the sign of f(x) (from negative to positive or positive to negative), a reflection across the y-axis would be changing the sign of x, translation a units to the right would be subtracting a from x, translation b units up would be adding b to x. Rotation of 180º about the origin would be the same format as the first matrix, except it would be cos180 and cos0 on the top and sin180 sin0 on the bottom. Reflection across the y-axis would be changing the sign of x again.

OR

1. We know that, 'Translation shifts the figure in any direction'.

As, the function f(x) is translated 'a' units to the right, the new form of function is f(x-a).

Again, the function is translated 'b' units up, the final form of the function is f(x-a)+b.

2 and 3. We know that, ' Reflection flips the image over a line'.

As the function g(x) is reflected over y-axis, the new form of the function is g(-x).

As the function h(x) is reflected over x-axis, the new form of the function is -h(x).

4 , 5 and 6. We know that, 'Rotation turns the image around a point to a certain degree'.

Let us assume the function to be a point (x,y).

As the function is rotated by 90° counterclockwise about the origin, the new function becomes ( y,-x ) i.e. R_{90}R

90

(x,y) = ( -y,x ).

As the function is rotated by 180° counterclockwise about the origin, the new function becomes ( y,-x ) i.e. R_{180}R

180

(x,y) = ( -x,-y ).

As the function is rotated by 2700° counterclockwise about the origin, the new function becomes ( y,-x ) i.e. R_{270}R
