Answer:

7.534g ring is heavier, by 2.234g

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: mg =

${10}^{ - 3} grams$

$5300mg = ( \frac{5300}{ {10}^{3} } )g \\ = ( \frac{5300}{1000} )g \\ = 5.3g$

From here we can see Ring A (7.534g) is heavier than Ring B(5,300mg)

Difference in Mass = 7.534g - 5.3g

= 2.234g

A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 56 ft. how far will a rider travel during a 4-minute ride if the wheel rotates once every 20 se

Luba_88 [7]

First calculate the circumference. Usually this is the diameter times pi, but since we are told to estimate pi, the circumference equals 56 * 22/7 or 176 feet.
In 4 minutes, 4 * 60 = 240 seconds pass. In this time, a 20 second period will occur 240/20 = 12 times.
So we know that the rider rotates 12 times and each rotation takes them 176 feet, meaning that they will travel 12 * 176 = 2112 feet

Solve for a.<br> a^2=-3a+88

Sergio [31]

Answer:

$a=8,-11$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^2=-3a+88$

$a^2+3a=88$

$a^2+3a-88=0$

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-88)} }{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+352} }{2}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{361} }{2}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm19 }{2}$

$x=-11$ and $x=8$

Therefore, the values of $a$ are 8 and -11.

Sylvie finds the solution to the system of equations by graphing. y = x + 1 and y = x – 1 Which graph shows the solution to Sylv

Furkat [3]

Graphs of y = x+- 1 and of y = x - 1 are shown in the figure below.
The intersection of the two graphs is the solution for the two equations.

Answer:
There is no solution.

Explanation:
It is clear that the two lines are parallel and will never intersect.

Note that the equation for a straight line is of the form
y = mx + b
where
m = slope,
b = y-intercept.

y = x + 1 has slope of m=1.
y = x - 1 has slope of m=1.
The two slopes are equal.
Because parallel lines do not intercept, there is no solution.
