Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Textbook Question

Chapter P, Problem 5CR

Kepler’s Third Law According to Kepler’s third law of planetary motion, the mean

distance D , in millions of miles, from a planet in our solar system to the sun is related to the

time P , in years, that it takes for the planet to complete a revolution around the sun, and the

relationship is

D = 93 P 2 / 3 .

It takes the planet Pluto 249 years to complete a revolution around the sun. What is the mean distance from Pluto to the sun? What is the mean distance from Earth to the sun? Give your answers to the nearest million miles.

Students have asked these similar questions

(1) Let M and N be non-empty subsets of a linear space X, show that whether = U or not, and show that there whether exsits a liear function from P₂(x) into R' which onto but not one-to-one or not. ام (2) Let R be a field of real numbers and P,(x)=(a+bx+cx? / a,b,ce R} be a vector space over R, show that whether there exsit two hyperspaces A and B such that AUB is a hyperspace or not. (3) Let A be an affine set in a linear space X over afield F and tEA, show that A-t is a subspace of Xand show that if M and N are balanced sets then M+N is balanced set. (4) Write the definition of bounded set in a normed space, and write with prove an equivalent statement to definition. (5) Let d be a metric on a linear space X over a field F, write conditions on d in order to get that there is a norm on X induced dy d and prove that. (6) Let M be a non-empty subset of a normed space X, show that xEcl(M) iff for any r>o there exsits yEM such that llx-yll

Find all solutions to the following equation. Do you get any extraneous solutions? Explain why or why not. 2 2 + x+1x-1 x21 Show all steps in your process. Be sure to state your claim, provide your evidence, and provide your reasoning before submitting.

Directions: For problems 1 through 3, read each question carefully and be sure to show all work. 1. What is the phase shift for y = 2sin(2x-)? 2. What is the amplitude of y = 7cos(2x+л)? 3. What is the period of y = sin(3x-π)? Directions: For problems 4 and 5, you were to compare and contrast the two functions in each problem situation. Be sure to include a discussion of similarities and differences for the periods, amplitudes, y-minimums, y-maximums, and any phase shift between the two graphs. Write in complete sentences. 4. y 3sin(2x) and y = 3cos(2x) 5. y 4sin(2x) and y = cos(3x- -플)
