Angles/666029: THE COMPLEMENT AND SUPPLEMENT OF A 27 DEGREE ANGLE
WHATS ANOTHER NAME FOR ANGLE ABC
1 solutions

Answer 414249 by MathLover1(6634) About Me  on 2012-10-14 11:44:43 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

An angle and its complement add to a right angle.
An angle and its supplement add to a straight angle.
Since a right angle is 90 degrees and a straight angle is 180 degrees, the measures of the complement and supplement are:
The complement of an angle x+degrees is 90+-+x degrees.
The supplement of an angle x degrees is 180+-+x degrees.

so, letting the complement be "x", we can apply the definition of complementary angles and say that
+x+=+90-27
x+=+63 (degrees)

and the supplement is
+x+=+180+-27
x+=+153(degrees)

Answer 414237 by MathLover1(6634) About Me  on 2012-10-14 10:40:19 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
by definition of log
log%28a%29%28x%29+=+n means that a%5En+=+x
so,
log%28a%29%281%29+=+0 means that b%5E0+=+1 which is TRUE, by definition of exponents any number raised to the zero power equal to 1
it proves that log%28a%29%281%29+=+0

5, term in this sequence
-30, second term in this sequence; as we can see, we will get this one if we multiply 5 by -6
5%2A%28-6%29=-30
180, third term in this sequence, we can applay same rule
-30%2A%28-6%29=180
and fourth term in this sequence
180%2A%28-6%29=-1080
so,the pattern is -6x, and x=5 is first term in this sequence

1%2F5+%2B+3%2F6=-1%2F2+...common denominator for 5 and 6 is 30; so, multiply 1%2F5 by 6 and 3%2F6 by 5

1%2A6%2F%285%2A6%29+%2B+3%2A5%2F%286%2A5%29=-1%2F2+
6%2F30+%2B+15%2F30=-1%2F2+...now you can add them
%286+%2B+15%29%2F30=-1%2F2+
21%2F30=-1%2F2+......now divide each nominator with each denominator to see if you will get same result on both sides of the equation
0.7=-0.5+..as you can see left side is NOT equal to right side; so
since 0.7%3C%3E-0.5+, then we can say that 1%2F5+%2B+3%2F6%3C%3E-1%2F2+

1.The line passes through the points (-3,-1) and (3,5)

Solved by pluggable solver: FIND EQUATION of straight line given 2 points
hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (-3, -1) and (x2, y2) = (3, 5).
Slope a is a+=+%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29+=+%285--1%29%2F%283--3%29+=+1.
Intercept is found from equation a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb+=+y%5B1%5D, or 1%2A-3+%2Bb+=+2. From that,
intercept b is b=y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D, or b=-1-1%2A-3+=+2.

y=(1)x + (2)

Your graph:





2. The line passes through the point (3,7) and is parellel to the line x+%2B+4y+=+12.

x+%2B+4y+=+12....write in slope-intercept form
4y+=-x%2B+12
4y+=-%281%2F4%29x%2B+3

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Equation of a Line Parallel or Perpendicular to a Given Line


Since any two parallel lines have the same slope we know the slope of the unknown line is -1%2F4 (its from the slope of y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B3 which is also -1%2F4). Also since the unknown line goes through (3,7), we can find the equation by plugging in this info into the point-slope formula

Point-Slope Formula:

y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 where m is the slope and (x%5B1%5D,y%5B1%5D) is the given point



y-7=%28-1%2F4%29%2A%28x-3%29 Plug in m=-1%2F4, x%5B1%5D=3, and y%5B1%5D=7



y-7=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B%281%2F4%29%283%29 Distribute -1%2F4



y-7=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B3%2F4 Multiply



y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B3%2F4%2B7Add 7 to both sides to isolate y

y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B3%2F4%2B28%2F4 Make into equivalent fractions with equal denominators



y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B31%2F4 Combine the fractions



y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B31%2F4 Reduce any fractions

So the equation of the line that is parallel to y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B3 and goes through (3,7) is y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B31%2F4


So here are the graphs of the equations y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B3 and y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B31%2F4



graph of the given equation y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B3 (red) and graph of the line y=%28-1%2F4%29%2Ax%2B31%2F4(green) that is parallel to the given graph and goes through (3,7)

Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb+=+y%5B1%5D, or 0.333333333333333%2A3+%2Bb+=+-1. From that,
