The length of his path to the nearest tenth of a foot is 37.7 ft option fourth is correct.

<h3>What is the Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

The square of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

We have:

Frankie wants to build a path from one corner of his yard to the opposite corner. his yard measures 20 ft. x 32 ft.

From the Pythagoras theorem:

Perpendicular(P) = 32 ft

Base(B) = 20 ft

H = √(32²+20²)

H = √1424

H = 37.7 ft

Thus, the length of his path to the nearest tenth of a foot is 37.7 ft option fourth is correct.

Flock of birds is flying south, toward the equator, at an hourly rate. A scientist created the function f(x)=−60x+1320 to repres

lina2011 [118]

Answer: First and last option

The birds began 1320 miles from the equator.

The birds are flying toward the equator at a rate of 60 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the function f(x) is a linear function.

$f (x) = - 60x + 1320$

If x represents the number of hours and f(x) represents the distance from the equator, then x = 0 means that the first hour has not yet elapsed.

When x = 0 then:

$f (0) = -60 * 0 +1320\\f (0) = 1320$ .

This means that the initial distance at which the birds of the equator are located is 1320 miles.

Then when x = 1 then:

$f (x) = -60 * 1 + 1320\\f (x) = -60 +1320$

When x = 2 then:

$f (x) = -60 * 2 + 1320\\f (x) = -120 +1320$

As x increases by one unit then the distance of the birds to the equator decreases by 60 miles. This means that birds travel at a speed of 60 miles per hour

Make B the subject of the relation : 1/a is equal to 1/b + c

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

By making ‘a’ the subject, I believe you mean isolate the variable ‘a’.

1/a - 1/b = 1/c : add 1/b to both sides

1/a = 1/b + 1/c : combine the unlike fractions by finding a common denominator, bc is the common denominator

1/a = (1/b)(c/c) + (1/c)(b/b) : simplify

1/a = (c/bc) + (b/bc) : add numerators only, because the denominators match

1/a = (c + b)/bc : multiply both sides by a

1 = (a)[(c + b)/bc] : multiply both sides by the reciprocal of [(c + b)/bc] which is [bc/(b + c)]

1[bc/(b + c)] = a

a = bc/(b + c)

This will not work if c = -b, because then you would be dividing by zero.

Example: 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6 a = 2, b = 3 c= 6

a = bc/(b + c) => 2 = (3 x 6)/(3 + 6) => 2 = 18/9 => 2 = 2.
