I need help with my pre-calculus homework, please show me how to solve them step by step if possible. The image of the problem is attached. These are 2 parts of the same question.
We are given the following triangle:
We need to determine the area of the triangle. To do that we need to determine sides "a" and "b". We will use the sine law to determine the side "b":
[tex]\frac{b}{sin107}=\frac{98}{sin48}[/tex]Now, we multiply both sides by "sin107":
[tex]b=sin(107)\frac{98ft}{sin(48)}[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]b=126.11ft[/tex]Now, before determining side "a" we will determine the angle "x" that is opposed to "a". To do that we will use the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180, therefore:
[tex]107+48+x=180[/tex]Adding the values:
[tex]155+x=180[/tex]Now, we subtract 155 from both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=180-155 \\ x=25 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the angle opposite to "a" is 25 degrees. Now, we apply the sine law:
[tex]\frac{a}{sin(25)}=\frac{98}{sin(48)}[/tex]Now, we multiply both sides by "sin(25)":
[tex]a=sin(25)\frac{98}{sin(48)}[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]a=55.73ft[/tex]Now, we determine the area using the following formula:
[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]Where:
[tex]s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]Now, we determine the value of "s":
[tex]s=\frac{55.73ft+126.11ft+98ft}{2}[/tex]Solving the operation:
[tex]s=139.92ft[/tex]Now, we substitute the value in the formula for the area:
[tex]A=\sqrt{(139.92ft)(139.92ft-55.73ft)(139.92ft-126.11ft)(139.92ft-98ft)}[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]A=2611.43ft^2[/tex]Now, since the search party can cover 300 ft^2/h we can use a rule of 3 to determine the number of hours it takes them to cover 2611.43 ft^2:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 300ft^2\rightarrow1h \\ 2611.43ft^2\rightarrow x \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we cross multiply:
[tex](300ft^2)(x)=(1h)(2611.43ft^2)[/tex]Now, we divide both sides by 300ft^2:
[tex]x=\frac{(1h)(2611.43ft^2)}{(300ft^2)}[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]x=8.7h[/tex]Therefore, it takes 8.7 hours to cover the area. Therefore, the search party won't be able to conclude before the sun goes down.
An air plane can cruise at 640mph. How far can it fly in 3/2 Ths of an hour?
Answer: 960 miles
3/2 of an hour would be 1 hour and 30 min or an hour and a half
640mph (mph = miles per hour)
1/2 of an hour is 30 minutes so its 640 miles in half so 320
now all you gotta do is add it
so 640 + 320 = 960
Point (7, 2) is translated up 2 units and left 5 units. Where is the new point located?(12, 4)(9, -3)(2,0)(2, 4)
The new point is located at (2,4)

Answer: [tex]11250\pi \\[/tex] cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
This could be solved with integral calculus or simple arithmetic.
If you need to show the work in calculus, let me know, otherwise, here's the easiest way to reach the answer:
Volume of a solid is equal to the area of its 2D projection multiplied by its height, assuming that it's uniform throughout its entire height. Fortunately, a cylinder is uniform throughout its height.
What is a cylinder's 2D projection? A circle!
Area of a circle = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]
r = 15
Area = 225pi cm^2
Now, we multiply the area of the 2D projection by the height of the cylinder.
225pi * 50 = 11250pi cm^3

We were told that volume of water that flows over the fall each second is 2.9 x 10^5 gallons.
Recall, 1 hour = 3600 seconds
If 1 second = 2.9 x 10^5 gallons, then
3600 seconds = 3600 x 2.9 x 10^5
= 1.044 x 10^9 gallons
Thus, 1.044 x 10^9 gallons of water will flow over the falls in an hour.

How do I add the probabilities? And what is the solution after doing that?
In order to calculate the probability of P(Z<3), let's add all cases where Z<3:
[tex]P(Z<3)=P(Z=0)+P(Z=1)+P(Z=2)[/tex]The minimum value of Z is given when X = 0 and Y = 1, so Z = 1.
The maximum value of Z is given when X = 1 and Y = 2, so Z = 3.
Therefore P(Z = 0) is zero.
Z = 1 can only happen when X = 0 and Y = 1.
Z = 2 can happen when X = 1 and Y = 1 or when X = 0 and Y = 2.
So we can rewrite the expression as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(Z<3)=0+P(X=0)P(Y=1)+[P(X=1)P(Y=1)+P(X=0)P(Y=2)\rbrack\\ \\ =0+0.5\cdot0.4+0.5\cdot0.4+0.5\cdot0.6\\ \\ =0+0.2+0.2+0.3\\ \\ =0.7 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the correct option is A.

In the graph the points are connected by the straight lines, so graph is linear graph. In nonlinear graph the points are connected by the curve. So option A is incorrect.
The slope of the line changes after x=2. The inclination of line with positive x axis is different before and after x=2. So the function not increases at same rate. Then option B is incorrect.
The rate is given by the slope of line. The inclination of line with positive x axis increase after x=2, so rate increases not decreases. Then option C is incorrect.
The graph of a straight line is function or not a function can be inspected by vertical line test.
If we draw a vertical line, then the vertical line intersect the line only once, so the graph is function. Option D is correct.

INT. ALGEBRA: Write an equation that passes through (-10,-30) and is perpendicular to 12y-4x=8
Thank you for your help, and please do show work! I will be looking to give the Brainliest answer to someone!
The equation of the perpendicular line is y = -3x - 60
How to determine the line equation?The equation is given as
12y - 4x = 8
Make y the subject
12y= 4x + 8
y = 1/3x + 2/3
The point is also given as
Point = (-10, -30)
The equation of a line can be represented as
y = mx + c
Where
Slope = m
By comparing the equations, we have the following
m = 1/3
This means that the slope of 12y - 4x = 8 is 1/3
So, we have
m = 1/3
The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals
This means that the slope of the other line is -3
The equation of the perpendicular lines is then calculated as
y = m(x - x₁) +y₁
Where
m = -3
(x₁, y₁) = (-10, -30)
So, we have
y = -3(x + 10) - 30
Evaluate
y = -3x - 30 - 30
y = -3x - 60
Hence, the perpendicular line has an equation of y = -3x - 60

GWhich inequalities have no solution? Check all of the boxes that apply.XX-3x -3x–4 + x>-2 + xX-2
For every number x, x = x, not x < x. So, the inequality x < x has no solution.
Since -3x = -3x for every real number, the inequality
[tex]-3x\leq-3x[/tex]holds for every real number, that is, every number is a solution.
Consider the inequality
[tex]-4+x>-2+x[/tex]Subtract x on both sides gives -4 > -2, which is not possible.
Hence the inequality - 4 + x > - 2 + x has no solution.
Consider the inequality
[tex]x-2Subtract x on both sides gives -2 < 3, which is true.Every real number is a solution of the inequality. Hence the inequality has solution.
Thus the inequalities with no solution are: x < x and -4+x>-2+x

I need the equation
Here is the completed table:
Number of phones manufactured Total cost of Manufactured phones
0 $400
1 $525
2 $650

The equation that represents the total cost is C = $400 + $125p .
What is the total cost?The equation that represents the total cost is a function of the fixed cost and the variable cost. The fixed cost remains constant regardless of the level of output. The variable cost changes with the level of output.
Total cost = fixed cost + total variable cost
Total cost = fixed cost + (variable cost x total output)
C = $400 + ($125 x p)
C = $400 + $125p
Total cost when 0 phones are made = $400 + $125(0) = $400
Total cost when 1 phone are made = $400 + $125(1) = $525
Total cost when 2 phones are made = $400 + $125(2) = $650

A number cube labelled 1 to 6 is rolled 276 times. Predict how many times a 5 will show.
All the outcomes of the cube are equally probable, therefore, it is expected to have all the outcomes after 6 rolls. To find the amount of times we're supposed to get one of the outcomes, we multiply the amount of rolls by the probability of this outcome.
The theoretical probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. We have one number five out of six possible numbers, therefore, the probability of getting a 5 is:
[tex]P(5)=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]Therefore, in 276 rolls we're going to get the following amount of 5's:
