If angle a = 68° and angle b = 39° what is the length of angle c?
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 68° - 39° = 73°
4! = ?
4 x 3 x 2 x 1
A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?
binomial
A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.
The fuel injector is regulated by the __________ which is the main computer that controls engine and transmission functions.
powertrain control module
The fuel injector sprays fuel into the air stream that's being fed into the cylinder head via the intake valve. The timing and amount of fuel are regulated by the powertrain control module (PCM) which is the main computer that controls engine and transmission functions.
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
blood cells
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
Alex loaned Charlie $300 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $300
i = 0.06 x $300
i = $18
The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that, as long as no other forces are applied, what will remain constant as an object falls?
total mechanical energy
As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that, as long as no other forces are applied, total mechanical energy (PE + KE) of the object will remain constant at all points in its descent.
Which class of lever offers no mechanical advantage?
third
A third-class lever is used to increase distance traveled by an object in the same direction as the force applied. The fulcrum is at one end of the lever, the object at the other, and the force is applied between them. This lever does not impart a mechanical advantage as the effort force must be greater than the load but does impart extra speed to the load. Examples of third-class levers are shovels and tweezers.
Potential energy is energy that has the potential to be converted into what?
kinetic energy
Potential energy is the energy of an object by virtue of its position relative to other objects. It is energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.
