Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the rate of descent in feet per second represented by a descent of 40 feet in 4 seconds.

The rate is the amount divided by the time:

-40 ft/(4 s) = -10 ft/s

The relevant integer is -10.

A new restaurant is attracting customers with searchlights has a radius of 2 feet. What is the searchlights circumference?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

12.56 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of all its side.

Since circle doesn't have "sides", the perimeter is the length of the whole circle. This has the name "circumference".

The circumference of a circle has the formula:

$C=2\pi r$

Where

C is the circumference (perimeter of a circle)

r is the radius

Given,

r = 2 feet

We substitute and find the circumference, using 3.14 as $\pi$ ,

$C=2\pi r\\C=2(3.14) (2)\\C=12.56$

Hence, the circumference is 12.56 feet

I need some help with geometry?

kramer

39=9x+7-3x+20

Subtract 27 from each side

12=6x
2=x

Now plug in 2 for x to find AB and BC

9x+7= AB
9(2)+7=AB
18+7= AB
25= AB

-3x+20= BC
-3(2)+20= BC
-6+20= BC
14= BC

The table shows the amount of sugar needed to make lemonade. Are the quantities proportional? Explain which method you used and

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first sugar and servings part, 4 for sugar, 2 for servings.

The ratio for this example above it for sugars to servings it 2:1. So every 2 sugars is every 1 serving and this applies to every other of the sugars and servings in the table.

Find the solution of the square root of the quantity of x plus 2 plus 4 equals 8, and determine if it is an extraneous solution

Iteru [2.4K]

Consider the equation:

$\sqrt{x+2}+4 = 8$

Subtracting '4' from both the sides of the equation, we get as

$\sqrt{x+2}+4-4= 8-4$

$\sqrt{x+2}= 4$

Squaring on both the sides of the equation, we get

$(\sqrt{x+2})^2 = (4)^2$

$x+2 = 16$

Subtracting '2' from both the sides of the equation, we get

$x+2-2=16-2$

x=14

Since, An extraneous solution is a solution that arises from the solving process that is not really a solution at all. But, in this equation x=14 is the solution of the given equation.

Hence, it is not an extraneous solution.
