The building is meters tall.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The building is 35 meters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

420 divided by 24 is 17.5  

17.5 x 2 is 35

A satellite’s original velocity is 40000
m/s. After 10 minutes, the velocity of
the satellite is 4000 m/s. What is the
satellite’s acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

-60m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do is know the equation:

(Final velocity - initial (original) velocity) / time (seconds)

Next you check the units:

10 minutes = 600 seconds

Then you use the equation to solve the problem:

(4000 - 40000) = -36000

-36000 / 600 = -60

Units for acceleration = m/s²

Answer = -60m/s²

The value is negative because the satellite's velocity has decreased

Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

10.

Let x and y represent the two missing factors. Then you have ...

  -3xy = 21

  xy = -7 . . . . . . . divide by -3

Integer divisors of -7 are ±1, ±7, so possible factor pairs are (-1, 7), (-7, 1) and their reverse.

Of course, the only requirement is that the values be rational, so we could have (-1/4, 28), for example. One of the above factors can be multiplied by any rational number, and the other multiplied by its inverse.

11.

If the two factors of interest are x and y, then the product of the three factors is ...

  (-3/4)xy = -24

  xy = (-4/3)(-24) = 32

Integer divisors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. So, any of those, positive or negative, could be one of the (integer) factors you're looking for. On the attached graph, we have shown (x, y) pairs ...

Given that E is the midpoint of AD and BC, which of the following proves that AB∥CD?
HELP ASAP!

Answers

The proof that shows that AB∥CD in the diagram given is:

1. E is the midpoint of AD --> Given

2. [tex]\overline{AE} \cong \overline{ED}[/tex] ---> Definition of midpoint

3. E is the midpoint of BC --> Given

4. [tex]\overline{BE} \cong \overline{EC}[/tex] ---> Definition of midpoint

5. ∠AEB ≅ ∠CED --> Vertical Angles Theorem

6. ΔABE ≅ ΔDCE ---> SAS Congruence Theorem

7. AB∥CD ---> CPCTC Theorem.

The given figure showing ΔABE ≅ ΔDCE is in the image attached below.

We know that:

E is the midpoint of AD. Therefore, AE ≅ ED by the definition of midpoint.

E is the midpoint of BC. Therefore, BE ≅ EC by the definition of midpoint.

∠AEB and ∠CED are vertical angles, therefore, ∠AEB ≅ ∠CED by the vertical angles theorem.

This means that ΔAEB and ΔDEC have:

two pairs of congruent sides - AE ≅ ED and BE ≅ EC

one pair of congruent included side -  ∠AEB ≅ ∠CED

Hence, ΔABE ≅ ΔDCE by the SAS Congruence Theorem.

If both triangles are congruent, it implies that all corresponding sides and angles of ΔAEB will be congruent to that of ΔDEC.

Therefore, AB∥CD by the CPCTC Theorem.

Thus, the proof that shows that AB∥CD in the diagram given is:

1. E is the midpoint of AD --> Given

2. [tex]\overline{AE} \cong \overline{ED}[/tex] ---> Definition of midpoint

3. E is the midpoint of BC --> Given

4. [tex]\overline{BE} \cong \overline{EC}[/tex] ---> Definition of midpoint

5. ∠AEB ≅ ∠CED --> Vertical Angles Theorem

6. ΔABE ≅ ΔDCE ---> SAS Congruence Theorem

7. AB∥CD ---> CPCTC Theorem.

Passes through (2, 3) at a gradient of 2

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing gradient of 2 means slope of 2

if line passes through (2,3) and has a slope of 2, we can use the slope intercept equation

slope-intercept (y=mx+b)

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (which we are trying to find)

so far, we have a point and a slope so we can fill in x,y, and m

(3) = (2)(2) + b

3 = 4 + b

3-4 = 4-4 + b (to undo addition, you use subtraction so I minus 4 from each side)

-1 = b

we found b so we just take the (2,3) out of the equation substitute the x,y back into the equation

y = 2x - 1

What is a reasonable estimate for the subtraction equation 3.2 − 1.4 = ________ when you round each number to the nearest whole number? (2 points)
1
1.5
2
2.5

Answers

Answer:

Hello!

After reviewing the question you have provided, I came up with the correct answer:

C) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly:

As the question states, you need to round each number to the nearest whole number and then choose the closest estimate to what the nearest solution could be.

When you round the two numbers you should come up with "3-1= ____".

This is because you round up with a number has .5 or higher, and you round down when any number has .4 or lower.

So 3.2 rounds to 3

And 1.4 rounds to 1.

With the new equation you can then solve "3-1= 2"!

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-3,-6) and (2,-2)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{18}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the equation of the line that passes through the point (-3, -6) and (2, -2)

There are 3 ways to write the equation of the line:

In slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y interceptIn point-slope form, which is [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where m is the slope and [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is a pointIn standard form, which is ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are integer coefficients, but a and b cannot be zero, and a cannot be negative

The easiest way would either be slope-intercept or point-slope form, but let's write the equation in slope-intercept form, since it's the most common way

So we'll need to find the slope

The formula for the slope calculated from 2 points is [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex], where [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] are points

We have everything needed to find the slope, let's just label the values of the points to avoid any confusion:

[tex]x_1=-3\\y_1=-6\\x_2=2\\y_2=-2[/tex]

Now substitute these values into the formula. Remember that m is the value of the slope:

m=[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

m=[tex]\frac{-2--6}{2--3}[/tex]

Simplify the fraction:

m=[tex]\frac{-2+6}{2+3}[/tex]

Add the numbers together:

m=[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

So the slope of the line is 4/5

Let's plug it into the formula y=mx+b, since we now know the value of m

y=[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]x+b

Now let's find b

As the equation passes through both (-3, -6) and (2, -2), we can use either point to help solve for b

Either point works, but let's take (2, -2) for instance

Substitute 2 as x and -2 as y

-2=4/5(2)+b

Multiply

-2=8/5+b

subtract 8/5 from both sides

-18/5=b

Now substitute -18/5 as b into the equation:

[tex]y=\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{18}{5}[/tex]

Hope this helps!

Thus, first, the graph corresponding to each of the plans must be analyzed. The Y-axis corresponds to money and the x-axis corresponds to the time in years.

Thus, in-plane A, it can be observed that to reach the desired value, the graph will be projected in exponential, so it will be close to 15 years. In plan B, this projection will be reached around 5 years. In plans C and D, this projection will be 10 years and 9 years respectively.
