A) The equation that we need to solve is:

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 300s) = d

B) The distance to the hive is d = 2000ft.

<h3 /><h3>What equation can you use to find the distance of the flower bed from the hive?</h3>

We know that the bee's speed is 15 ft/s from the hive to the flower bed.

Then stays 12 minutes at the flower bed.

Then returns to the hive with a speed of 12ft/s.

The total time of the journey is 17 minutes, discounting the 12 minutes that the bee was in the flower bed, the travel only took 5 minutes.

Now, if the distance between the hive and the flower bed is d, t₁ as the time that the bee needs to go from the hive to the flower bed, and t₂ as the time in which the bee goes from the flower bed to the hive, we can write the system of equations:

t₂ + t₁ = 5min

(15ft/s)*t₁ = d

(12ft/s)*t₂ = d

With that system of equations, we can find the value of d, which is what we want to get.

Isolating t₂ in the first equation we get:

t₂ = - t₁ + 5min

Now we can replace that in the third equation:

(15ft/s)*t₁ = d

(12ft/s)*(- t₁ + 5min) = d

In the first equation we can isolate t₁:

t₁ = d/(15ft/s)

And replace that in the remaining equation:

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 5min) = d

5 min = 5*60s = 300s

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 300s) = d

This is the equation we need to solve to find the value of d.

-(12/15)*d + 3600ft = d

3600ft = d + (12/15)*d = (1 + 12/15)*d = (27/15)*d

(15/27)*3600ft = d = 2000 ft

We conclude that the distance to the hive is 2000ft.

3. What line forms when a plane and a cylinder intersect?
leonid [27]
The answer to this depends on the angle at which they intersect. If it intersects<span> the cylinder perpendicular to the axis then a circle is formed. </span><span>If the plane intersects the cylinder at an angle, it will form an ellipse. This will be true until the plan is parallel with the axis of the cylinder. At that point, the surface will become a rectangle.</span>

Which is a correct two-column proof? Given: &lt;H and &lt;X are supplementary. prove: l || n
andriy [413]

Answer:

option-B

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

<H and <X are supplementary angles

so,

<H+<X=180

we know that

<H and <E are vertically opposite angles

so, they must be equal

<H=<E

we can plug it

<E+<X=180

It means that angle(E) and angle(X) are supplementary angles

and these two angles are same side interior angles

By using same side interior angles converse

so, line(l) and line(n) must be parallel

so, option-B
