The distance between the refreshment stands is 440 feet

<h3>Calculating distance </h3>

From the question, we are to determine how far apart are the refreshment stands in feet

From the given information,

The parade route is 3/4 mile long

and

There are refreshment stands at the <u>beginning</u> and <u>end</u> of the route. And there will also be <u>8 refreshment stands</u> along the route.

This means there will be 10 refreshment stands in all.

If there are 10 refreshment stands in all, then there will be 9 spaces between the refreshment stands.

∴ The distance between <u>any two refreshment</u> stands will be

3/4 mile ÷ 9 = 3/36 mile = 1/12 mile

Now, we will convert this to feet

NOTE: 1 mile = 5280 feet

∴ 1/12 mile = 1/12 × 5280 feet

= 440 feet

Hence, the distance between the refreshment stands is 440 feet.

If a function is derivable at a point it is also continous at that point explain why?

Artyom0805 [142]

For a function to have a derivative in a point has to be continuous at the point, that is, it has to be defined at that point, other wise the derivative would be meaningless.

Verify a÷(b+c)not equal(a÷b)+a÷c for each of the following values of a, b and c

just olya [345]

Answer:

a) and b) satisfied the condition of the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $\frac{a}{(b + c)}$ ≠ $\frac{a}{b}$ + $\frac{a}{c}$

Then,

$\frac{a}{(b + c)}$ ≠ $\frac{(ac + ab)}{bc}$

a) For a = 21, b = 4 and c = -2, then we have;

$\frac{21}{(4 + (-2))}$ ≠ $\frac{(21*-2 + 21*4)}{4*-2}$

$\frac{21}{4 - 2}$ ≠ $\frac{(-42 + 84)}{-8}$

$\frac{21}{2}$ ≠ $\frac{42}{-8}$

$\frac{21}{2}$ ≠ $-\frac{21}{4}$

Therefore the condition of the given equation is satisfied.

b) For a = 1, b = 10 and c = 1, then we have:

$\frac{1}{(10 + 1)}$ ≠ $\frac{(1*1 + 1*10)}{10*1}$

$\frac{1}{11}$ ≠ $\frac{(1 + 10)}{10}$

$\frac{1}{11}$ ≠ $\frac{11}{10}$

Therefore the condition of the given equation is satisfied.

The oblique prism has a rectangular base with a width of 10 units and a length of 13 units.

Wittaler [7]

we know that

The volume of the prism is equal to

$V=B*h$

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the prism

Step 1

<u>Find the area of the rectangular base</u>

we know that

the area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=L*W$

In this problem we have

$L=13\ units$

$W=10\ units$

$A=13*10=130\ units^{2}$

Step 2

<u>Find the height of the prism</u>

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$17^{2}=8^{2} +h^{2}$

solve for h

$h^{2}=17^{2}-8^{2}$

$h^{2}=225$

$h=15\ units$

Step 3

<u>Find the volume of the prism</u>

The volume of the prism is equal to

$V=B*h$

substitute the values

$V=130*15=1,950\ units^{3}$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$1,950\ units^{3}$
