The distance in miles between each wave and the next is 1.14 miles. The correct option is c. 1.14 miles

<h3>Calculating Wavelength </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the distance in miles between each wave and the next. That is, we should determine the wavelength.

From the formula,

v = fλ

Where v is the velocity

f is the frequency

and λ is the wavelength

We can write that

λ = v/f

From the given information,

v = 600ft/min

Now, we will determine the frequency, f

f = 1/T

Where T is the period

From the given information,

T = 10 minutes

Thus,

f = 1/10 = 0.1 min⁻¹

Now, we can determine the wavelength

λ = v/f

λ = 600/0.1

λ = 6000 ft

Now, convert 6000 ft to miles

NOTE: 5280 ft = 1 mile

∴ 6000 ft = 6000/5280 miles

6000 ft = 1.14 miles

Hence, the distance in miles between each wave and the next is 1.14 miles. The correct option is c. 1.14 miles

So how would you break down the problem(2x-5)^2=49
ivanzaharov [21]
To solve this you first expand the brackets.
4x^2 - 20x + 25 = 49
Then make it equal 0.
4x^2 - 20x - 24 = 0
Now solve the quardratic.

x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0
x = 6 or x = -1

Answer:

(\frac{6x^2y}{5})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{(2x)(3x^3y^2)}{5x^2y}

Required

Solve

Open the brackets

\frac{(2x)(3x^3y^2)}{5x^2y} = \frac{(2x*3x^3y^2)}{5x^2y}

\frac{(2x)(3x^3y^2)}{5x^2y} = \frac{(6x^4y^2)}{5x^2y}

Apply law of indices:

\frac{(2x)(3x^3y^2)}{5x^2y} = \frac{(6x^{4-2}y^{2-1})}{5}

\frac{(2x)(3x^3y^2)}{5x^2y} = \frac{(6x^2y)}{5}

\frac{(2x)(3x^3y^2)}{5x^2y} = (\frac{6x^2y}{5})

What is solution of 8x-2y =1 and -4x+y = 3
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: it has no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 2y = 1 ..................... equation 1

-4x + y = 3 ...................... equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method . From equation 2 , make y the subject of the formula.

y = 3 + 4x .......................... equation 3

substitute equation 3 into equation 1 .

8x - 2(3 + 4x ) = 1

8x - 6 - 8x = 1

8x- 8x - 6 = 1

-6 = 1

this means that the equation has no solution
