Triangles ACD and BCD are isosceles. Angle DBC has a measure of 84 degrees and angleBDA has a measure of 24 degrees. Find the measure of angle BAC.
Answers
The Solution.
The reflex angle DBC can be calculated as below:
[tex]\angle DBC=360-84=276^o\text{ ( angle at a point)}[/tex][tex]So,\text{ }\angle DBA=\angle CBA=\frac{276}{2}=138^o[/tex]Note that: angle BDA = angle BCA = 24 degrees
Thus, considering triangle CBA (which is similar to triangle DBA), we can find angle BAC.
[tex]\angle BAC+138+24=180\text{ (sum of angles in a triangle)}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \angle BAC=180-(138+24) \\ \text{ =180-162} \\ \text{ =18 }^o \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the correct answer is 18 degrees.

There are currently 400,000 cats in the San Diego area. The number of cats in San Diego increases each year by 2.5 % A) how many cats will there be in the year 2036 ? B) how long will it be before the number of cats doubles ?
Answers
a) 436529 cats b) Approximately 278 years
1) Gathering the data
400,000 cats
Increases yearly by 2.5%
2) Let's write that growth as a function. Note that we must rewrite 2.5% as purely decimal 0.0025. A growth of 2.5 must be written as 1.0025.
Because every time we multiply by 1.0025 we are multiplying the number and 2.5%. Considering that there are currently, in this 1st year 400,000 cats 2036 then this will be 35 years after
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=400000(1.0025)^n \\ y=400000(1.0025)^{35} \\ y=436529.23\text{ }\cong436,529\text{ } \end{gathered}[/tex]So considering we're in the first year, 35 years after in 2036 there'll be 436,529
b) Since n= is the number of years in that function, and y stands for the number of cats.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 800,000=400,000(1.0025)^n \\ \frac{800,000}{400,00}=\frac{400,000}{400,000}(1.0025)^n \\ 2=(1.0025)^n \\ \log 2\text{ =}\log (1.0025)^n \\ 0.3=^{}n1.08\cdot10^{-3} \\ n=\frac{0.3}{1.08\cdot10^{-3}} \\ n=277.8 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]So, it will take at this rate approximately 278 years for the population of cats doubles.

Answers
Answer:
A) Amber's wages for 1 hour is $8.
B) Yes
C) y = 8x
D)
Explanation:
A) Looking at the graph, we can deduce that the point (1, 8) shows how much Amber makes in one hour. So in 1 hour, Amber makes $8.
B)To determine whether the amount of money is proportional to the number of hours worked, we have to look at the graph and see if it starts from the origin (0, 0), if it does then we can conclude that they are proportional.
Since the graph starts from the origin (0, 0), then the amount of money is proportional to the number of hours worked.
C) The slope-intercept equation of a line is given as;

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1_{}_{}_{}}{x_2-x_1_{}}=\frac{16-8}{2-1}=\frac{8}{1}=8[/tex]Since the line starts from the origin, therefore the y-intercept, b, is zero.
Since m = 8 and b = 0, the equation can then be written as;
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=8x+0 \\ y=8x \end{gathered}[/tex]D
write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the given equations(0,0); y = -6x+3y =
Answers
To find the equation of the line we need a point and the slope. We have the point but we need to find the slope, to do this we need to remember that two lines are perpendicular if and only if their slopes fullfils:
[tex]m_1m_2=-1[/tex]Now, the slope of the line given is -6, this comes from the fact that the line is written in the form y=mx+b, hence comparing both equation we conclude that.
Pluggin this value into the condition above we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -6m_1=-1 \\ m_1=\frac{-1}{-6} \\ m_1=\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the slope of the line we are looking for is 1/6. The equation of a line is given as:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]Plugging the values of the slope and the point we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-0=\frac{1}{6}(x-0) \\ y=\frac{1}{6}x \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the equation we are looking for is:

A couple took a small airplane for a flight to the wine country for a romantic dinner and then returned home. The plane flew a total of 5 hours and each way the trip was 233 miles. If the plane was flying at 170 miles per hour, what was the speed of the wind that affected the plane?
Answers
Answer:
114.26 miles per hour
Explanation:
Let us call
v = wind speed
Then
speed with the wind = 170 + v
speed against the wind = 170 -v
Therefore,
The time taken on the outward journey ( with the wind):
[tex]\frac{233}{170+v}[/tex]
Time take on the return journey
[tex]\frac{233}{170-v}[/tex]These two times must add up to 5 hours, the total time of the journey.
[tex]\frac{233}{170+v}+\frac{233}{170-v}=5[/tex]Solving the above equation for v will give us the wind speed.
The first step is to find the common denominator of the two rational expressions. We do this by multiplying the left rational expression by (180-v)/(180-v) and the right expression by (180 + v)/(180 + v).
[tex]\frac{170-v}{170-v}*\frac{233}{170+v}+\frac{233}{170-v}*\frac{170+v}{170+v}=5[/tex][tex]\frac{233(170-v)+233(170+v)}{(170-v)(170+v)}=5[/tex]Dividing both sides by 233 gives
[tex]\frac{(170-v)+(170+v)}{(170-v)(170+v)}=\frac{5}{233}[/tex]The numerator on the left-hand side of the equation simplifies to give
[tex]\frac{2\times170}{(170-v)(170+v)}=\frac{5}{233}[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow\frac{340}{(170-v)(170+v)}=\frac{5}{233}[/tex]Expanding the denominator gives
[tex]\operatorname{\Rightarrow}\frac{340}{170^2-v^2}=\frac{5}{233}[/tex][tex]\frac{340}{28900-v^2}=\frac{5}{233}[/tex]Cross multipication gives
[tex]5(28900-v^2)=340\times233[/tex]Dividing both sides by -5 gives
[tex]v^2-28900=-\frac{340\times233}{5}[/tex][tex]v^2-28900=-15844[/tex]Adding 28900 to both sides gives
[tex]v^2=13056[/tex]Finally, taking the sqaure root of both sides gives
[tex]\boxed{v=114.26.}[/tex]Hence, the speed of the wind, rounded to two decimal places, was 114.26 miles per hour.

In this instance, any of the inequality symbols, such as greater than symbol (>), less than symbol (), greater than or equal to symbol (), less than or equal to symbol (), or not equal to symbol (), is used in place of the equal sign "=" in the expression.

If y varies inversely as x and y=−97 when x=28, find y if x=36. (Round off your answer to the nearest hundredth.)
Answers
For this problem, we were informed that two variables "x" and "y" vary inversely to each other. We were also informed about one data point on the relation between the two (28, -97). From this information, we need to determine the value of "y" when "x" is equal to 36.
We can write the expression between two variables that vary inversely according to a constant, K, as shown below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\cdot x=k \\ y=\frac{k}{x} \end{gathered}[/tex]We can find the value of k by applying the known datapoint.

The coordinates of the original figure are:

A dilation by a negative scale factor produces an image on the other side of the center of enlargement.
As the first dilation is by a factor of -1 centered at the origin, the length of the sides doesn't change, but the new coordinates will be:
[tex](x,y)\to(kx,ky)[/tex]Apply this to the given coordinates:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (-2,1)\to(-1\cdot-2,-1\cdot1)\to(2,-1) \\ (3,1)\to(-1\cdot3,-1\cdot1)\to(-3,-1) \\ (1,3)\to(-1\cdot1,-1\cdot3)\to(-1,-3) \\ (-2,3)\to(-1\cdot-2,-1\cdot3)\to(2,-3) \end{gathered}[/tex]The image after the first dilation looks like this:
Now, the second dilation is by a scale factor of 2, centered at (-1,1).

The rate of ketchup to vinegar should be preserved. Let V be the volume of vinegar that will be used for the larger batch of marinade. Since the recipe uses 7 tablespoons of vinegar for each 3.5 tablespoons of ketchup, then:
[tex]\frac{V}{31.5}=\frac{7}{3.5}[/tex]Then, the volume of vinegar for the larger batch of marinade can be calculated as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\frac{7}{3.5}\times31.5 \\ =63 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, 63 tablespoons of vinegar are needed.
