The distance traveled by first car is 50t + 100.

The distance traveled by second car is 70t.

The distance between the two cars after time, t is d = 100 - 20t.

The ratio of the distance traveled by the cars is (70t) / (50t + 100).

<h3>Distance traveled by each vehicle is calculated as follows;</h3>

The distance traveled by each vehicle at the given time is calculated as follows;

<h3>Distance traveled by first car</h3>

D₁ = speed x time

D₁ = 50(t + 2)

D₁ = 50t + 100

<h3>Distance traveled by the second car</h3>

D₂ = 70t

<h3>Distance between the two cars after time, t</h3>

d = D₁ - D₂

d = (50t + 100) - 70t

d = 100 - 20t

<h3>Ratio of the distance traveled by the cars</h3>

D₂/D₁ = (70t) / (50t + 100)

The cost of oranges in a grocery store is directly proportional to the number of oranges purchased. Jerri payed $2.52 for 6 oran

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of oranges in a grocery store is directly proportional to the number of oranges purchased. Jerri paid $2.52 for 6 oranges.

If p represents the cost, in dollars,and n represents the number of oranges purchased, then introducing a proportionality constant, k, the equation becomes

p = kn

2.52 = k × 6

k = 2.52/6 = 0.42

Therefore, the equation representing the relationship is

p = 0.42n

Find the transition matrix from B to B'. B = {(-1,2), (3, 4)), B' = {(1, 0), (0, 1)} STEP 1: Begin by forming the following matr

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: The required matrix is

$T=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right] .$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the transition matrix from the bases B to B' as given below :

B = {(-1,2), (3, 4)) and B' = {(1, 0), (0, 1)}.

Let us consider two real numbers a, b such that

$(-1,2)=a(1,0)+b(0,1)\\\\\Rightarrow (-1,2)=(a,b)\\\\\Rightarrow a=-1,b=2.$

Again, let us consider reals c and d such that

$(3,4)=c(1,0)+d(0,1)\\\\\Rightarrow (3,4)=(c,d)\\\\\Rightarrow c=3,d=4.$

Therefore, the transition matrix is given by

$T=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right] .$

Thus, the required matrix is

$T=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right] .$

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with a radius of 2x units and an apothem of units. A solid right pyramid

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$6 x^2*\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the pyramid we need to study is a hexagon.

Let's look at the attached image of an hexagon to understand how we are going to find the area of this figure.

Notice that an hexagon is the combination of 6 exactly equal equilateral triangles in our case of size "2x" (notice that the "radius" of the hexagon is given as "2x")

Therefore the area of the hexagon is going to be 6 times the area of one of those equilateral triangles.

We know the area of a triangle is the product of its base times its height, divided by 2: $\frac{base*height}{2} = \frac{2x*height}{2}$

We notice that the triangle's height is exactly what is called the "apothem" of the hexagon (depicted in green in our figure) which measures $x\sqrt{3}$ , so replacing this value in the formula above for the area of one of the triangles:

$\frac{2x*height}{2}= \frac{2x*x\sqrt{3} }{2}=x^2\sqrt{3}$

Then we multiply this area times 6 to get the total area of the hexagon (6 of these triangles):

Area of hexagon = $6x^2\sqrt{3}$

which is the last option given in the list.
