Use absolute value to express the distance between 8 and -5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between points 8 and -5 is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find distance between points 8 and -5

The formula used to find the distance is: [tex]Distance=|b-a|[/tex]

Absolute value is used to get only positive values. i.e |-1|=1 if required.

We are given: b=8 and a=-5

Putting values and finding distance

[tex]Distance=|b-a|\\Distance=|8-(-5)|\\Distance=|8+5|\\Dstance=|13|\\Distance=13[/tex]

So, the distance between points 8 and -5 is 13

Angela is riding a scooter around her neighborhood. The front wheel has a diameter of 10 inches and the back wheel has a diameter of 5 inches. The scooter is moving at a speed of 10 inches per second.

As she is riding her scooter, a spider hops onto the front wheel. Angela looks down and thinks that if the praying mantis has a good grip that he will go all the way around the wheel in just 1 second. Is Angela right or wrong? Why?

If she is wrong find the amount of time it will take to go all the way around

Answers

Answer:

i. Angela is wrong. Because the diameter of the wheel is not the distance covered all the way round.

ii. The time is 3.14 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The font wheel has a diameter of 10 inches. Thus;

radius = [tex]\frac{diameter}{2}[/tex]

           = [tex]\frac{10}{2}[/tex]

           = 5 inches

Circumference of a circle = 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

⇒ The circumference of the front wheel = 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

                          = 2 x [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x 5

                          = 31.4286

The circumference of the front wheel is 31.43 inches.

The total distance to be covered by the mantis = circumference of the front wheel

                                        = 31.43 inches

But,

speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

The scooter moves with a speed of 10 inches per second, so that;

10 = [tex]\frac{31.43}{time}[/tex]

⇒ time = [tex]\frac{31.43}{10}[/tex]

            = 3.143 s

The time taken to complete a revolution by the mantis is 3.14 seconds.

Therefore,

i. Angela is wrong. Because the diameter of the wheel is not the distance covered all the way round.

ii. The time is 3.14 seconds.

A radio transmission tower is 150 feet tall. How long should a guy wire be if it is to be attached 5 feet from
the top and is to make an angle of 20° with the ground? Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
a.159.6 ft
c. 154.3 ft
b. 424.0 ft
d. 438.6 ft

Answers

The correct answer would be the first one

Option b is correct, the length of the guy wire should be 424.0 feet.

Let us denote the length of the guy wire as "x."

We can form a right triangle using the height of the tower, the distance from the top to where the guy wire is attached (5 feet), and the length of the guy wire (x).

In the right triangle, the sine of the angle is defined as the ratio of the opposite side (height of the tower - 5 feet) to the hypotenuse (length of the guy wire).

sin(20°) = (height of the tower - 5 feet) / x

To find x, we can rearrange the equation as follows:

x = (height of the tower - 5 feet) / sin(20°)

Substituting the given values:

x = (150 feet - 5 feet) / sin(20°)

x = 145 feet / 0.3420

x = 424.2 feet

Hence, the length of the guy wire should be approximately 424.0 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

7) Find nth term of each arithmetic sequence

[tex]a_1=7, d=9, n=18[/tex]

The formula used to find nth term is: [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

Putting values and finding nth term n=18

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_{18}=7+(18-1)9\\a_{18}=7+(17)9\\a_{18}=7+153\\a_{18}=160[/tex]

So, nth term n₁₈ is 160

8) Find nth term of each arithmetic sequence

[tex]a_1=-12, d=4, n=36[/tex]

The formula used to find nth term is: [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

After Jenna's shift = 1/6 of the tub

Total Time = 6.5hours

Amount of ice cream consumed = [tex]\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

                                                  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 0.5

what are the solutions to the quadratic equation 6x^2 + 24X = 0?

Answers

Answer: {0, -4}

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the two terms on the left side

of the equation have a greatest common factor of 6x.

So start by factoring out a 6x to get 6x(x + 4) = 0.

So either 6x = 0 or x + 4 = 0.

Eventually we find that x = 0 or x = -4.

So our solution set is {0, -4}.

Kurtis will be moving to a new city to started the job he was hired for. D is wrong

Answers

Answer:  a. Kurtis is moving to a new city to start the job he was hired for.

Step-by-step explanation: "is moving"  is present progressive tense.

"was hired"  is passive past tense.

"to start" is an infinitive.

These are correct verb forms.

b is almost correct. Kurtis "moved" is OK  in the past tense. *is started* should be "has started"

c  is partly correct.  *to starting* is ungrammatical here.

d  is wrong because *to started* is always ungrammatical.

y = 3x + 7
y = x-9

Answers

Answer:

x= -8

y= -17

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

If you trying to find x and y is the answer is:

x=-8 and y=-17

or

(-8,-17)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to subtract the two equations which becomes 2x+16=0

Now you move the 16 to the other side by subtracting 16 on both sides:

2x=-16

Now divide 2 on both sides to eliminate the 2 on 2x

x=-8

Now that you got -8 as x you can replace x on the two equations any one of them you only need to get one but I am going to use both of them to show you that it is the same:

y= 3(-8)+7

y=-17

y=-8-9

y=-17
