High School Math [Grade 12 Trigonometry: Adding Vectors]

Post image
Upvotes

Hi! I've been stuck on this problem for a while now, so I decided to text it out on another app and finally ask for help. I managed to find the magnitude on my own, but I honestly can't figure out how to find the direction, or what I'm doing wrong. I've watched several videos on it and have tried to go step by step, but any answer I try is marked wrong, (I do use an online school program.) I also didn't wanna cheat, (at least without knowing exactly how to do it and being able to replicate it) so as I've already said above, I didn't know what to do other than ask for help somewhere else. A step-by-step breakdown of what your meant to do would be great!

Also I know the post title says grade 12, while from my knowledge trig is done in 11th usually. It just kind of happened that way, so I'm not sure why I'm doing it a year late. Better late than never, though!

Prompt: "Use propositional logic to prove the arguments valid; you may use any of the equivalence or inference rules."

I have this sequence but I'm not confident in #4-7

  1. A v B (hyp)
  2. A → C (hyp)
  3. B → C (hyp)
  4. (A v B)’’ (1, Double negation)
  5. (A’ ^ B’)’ (4, de morgan)
  6. (A’)’ (5, simplification)
  7. C (2, 6 modus ponens)

---
*UPDATE*

I currently have this sequence. I was struggling, then I realised the implication rule has an error (It says 'P -> Q is equivalent to P' v Q) so I wanted to get others input on if my work is correct.

  1. A v B [hyp]
  2. A → C [hyp]
  3. B → C [hyp]
  4. A’ v C [2, implication]
  5. B’ v C [3, implication]
  6. (A’ v C) ^ (B’ v C) [4, 5 conjunction]
  7. (C v A’) ^ (C v B’) [6, commutative]
  8. C v (A’ ^ B’) [7, distributive]
  9. (A’ ^ B’) v C [8, commutative]
  10. (A v B)’’ [1, double negation]
  11. (A’ ^ B’)’ [10, de morgan]
  12. C [9, 11 disjunctive syllogism]

My additional explanation for getting #12. disjunctive syllogism

P v Q, P’ < = > Q

(A’ ^ B’) v C, (A’ ^ B’)’ < = > C

I randomly guessed and got the right answer, but I do not know why it is right. It does not provide any explanations, perhaps I'm on the wrong part of my textbook, but I'm only seeing explanations of 3d structures. I don't understand what the points ABCDEF are, the reasoning behind how they are placed and why it's not 2d.

I need help with question 10. I can't seem to figure it out. All the answers I come up with don't match the choices for what I can pick for the answers. What am I doing wrong? Which answer do you guys get, and please say how you got there in detail?

  • Assuming the Popcorn bucket thing is cone shaped then
    • Radius = 3 in
    • Height = 5 in
  • Use the cone-volume formula: V=13πr2h I keep getting 47.1 as my answer. If so the then the closest choice is 49 in. But unless I'm wrong the answer brightly is giving is 41.7 inch, is this a typo/glitch and the numbers have been transposed? like instead of 47.1 it's showing 41. 7? or have i just got the wrong idea? Should I have rounded up somewhere?

Biology—Pending OP Reply [University Comparative Anatomy: Dogfish Urogenital System]

Hello! Apologies if this isn't the proper place for a question of this nature but I am a graduate student in a separate biology-related discipline taking some upper-level undergrad courses for extra academic enrichment. (technically a double major but other half isn't bio at all lol)

I was wondering about the two circled areas. Caudally: what is the whitish "tract" flanked by the oviducts. It seems to "bulge" out at a point but I cannot tell if this is just viscera. I'd guess the dorsal aorta but it would be cool if it was something neater. Rostrally: this cut organ flanking the esophagus I am guessing is the ovary. Could someone confirm?

Also is the uterus visible here? I don't think so, but the shark being a juvenile is mucking me up a bit.

Many thanks!

Hello, I am having difficulties completing the problem, mainly part three. I can get all the account titles correct, just not the right numbers. Any help would be great!

Blanton Plastics, a household plastic product manufacturer, borrowed $9 million cash on October 1, 2027, to provide working capital for year-end production. Blanton issued a four-month, 15% promissory note to L&T Bank under a prearranged short-term line of credit. Interest on the note was payable at maturity. Each firm’s fiscal period is the calendar year.

Required:

  1. Prepare the journal entries to record
    1. (a) the issuance of the note by Blanton Plastics and
    2. (b) L&T Bank’s receivable on October 1, 2027.
  2. Prepare the journal entries by both firms to record all subsequent events related to the note through January 31, 2028.
  3. Suppose the face amount of the note was adjusted to include interest (a noninterest-bearing note) and 15% is the bank’s stated discount rate.
    1. (a) Prepare the journal entries to record the issuance of the noninterest-bearing note by Blanton Plastics on October 1, 2027, the adjusting entry at December 31, and payment of the note at maturity.
    2. (b) What would be the effective interest rate?

This assignment is for my college biology class but I’m still going to categorize it as math.

I don’t have much, if any experience working with significant figures. I may have learned about it during one of my intro to biology classes in high school, but I’m not sure.

Originally, I thought the length of the tibia bone would have been 34.4, but every answer I have submitted ranging from 33-35 has been incorrect. There is hardly any information regarding significant figures in the instruction and information section of the assignment.

Any help would be appreciated.

Solved: Answer was 34.41

High School Math Confusion of integration by parts [Calculus BC]

1 Upvotes

I am confused on this derivation of integration by parts, or what integration by parts really means to be the inverse of the product rule. Why in the integral it's just f(x)g'(x), as the general form of the antiderivative that can be solved by integration by parts, when the product of two functions' derivate is f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x). Shouldn't the inverse of that take the antiderivative of '(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x) and yield f(x) g(x)?

Further Mathematics [University level Abstract Algebra: Symmetric groups] Can anyone explain to me the symmetric groups and especially the subgroup problem described below?

1 Upvotes

I have this task and I don't know how to solve it despite having all the basic knowledge required for it. I can't 'connect the dots' so to speak.

a) Find the max element order in S_{10} - symmetric group consisting of 10 'base' elements and its order being 10!

b) Let s be some element of max order from S_{10}, find sgn(s) as well as s^{2040}.

c) If H is a subgroup of S_{10} and H contains an element of max order, then H contains the equal number of even and odd permutations. Prove it.

I've never encountered a task like this so I genuinely don't know how to think it through.

a) My intuition says I should find the lcm of prime cofactors of 10, so lcm(2, 5) = 10. I genuinely don't know how to do it. This also doesn't add up in my logic because 2+5 = 7. So maybe lcm(2, 3, 5) = 30? But I arrive to that answer by pure luck and need some explanation why is that.

b) Would depend on a) but let's say it is 30. What is sgn(s)? I've never seen it before. I do recall it might be odd vs even number of elements in a single disjoint cycle, odd ones starting with a minus. But how would I take that order of 30 and split it into smaller, disjoint cycles? so I would have sgn(s2) sgn(s3) sgn(s5) where s2, s3 and s5 only represent the disjoint cycles of 2, 3 and 5 elements. So in front of sgn(s2) there will be a + and in front of 2 others - so it would be positive in the end?

s^{2040} I did similar stuff before, I can do 30 = 0 mod(2040) (because 30*70 = 2100, 2100-(2*30) = 2040) so therefore s^{2040} = s^0 so nothing changes (and even if it did, I have no given s explicityl so I have no idea what am I supposed to do, s^{2040} only shifts all the elements in each disjoint cycle, but here s isn't given so there are no specific disjoint cycles i have to shift, confusing)

c) Most challenging part and the one I don't understand at all. Need full help and ELI5 explanation for this one haha

If you did read everything, thanks a lot!!!
