Answer: 86.6ft closer to the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the wheel is 200ft

Then the radius, half of the diameter, is: r = 200ft/2 = 100ft.

Initially, the seat is at the same level that the center of the wheel.

And the distance between the center of the wheel and the bottom is the radius.

Then the initial position is at an angle of 0° from the x-axis. (where the (0,0) of this axis coincides with the center of the wheel=

Now, the wheel rotates 60°. (downwards, so we actually could use -60° measuring from the positive x-axis)

And thinking in this as a triangle rectangle, where the opposite angle is 60°, we can calculate the displacement in the vertical direction as:

y = sin(-60°)*R

y = sin(-60°)*100ft = -86.6ft

So the seat is 86.6ft closer to the ground.

What number is exponent?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The base B represents the number you multiply and the exponent "x" tells you how many times you multiply the base, and you write it as "B^ x." For example, 8^3 is 8X8X8=512 where "8" is the base, "3" is the exponent and the whole expression is the power.

Determine the slope of the line 5x + 3y + 12 = 0 .
vazorg [7]
Put ur equation in y = mx + b form because the slope will be in the m position.

5x + 3y + 12 = 0
3y = -5x - 12
y = -5/3x - 4

y = mx + b
y = -5/3x + (-4)......as u can see, the number in the m position (the slope) is -5/3 <===

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 65% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 90% pure anti
Murrr4er [49]

With amounts measured in gallons, let

x = amount of 65% antifreeze

y = amount of 90% antifreeze

1 gal of the 65% brand contains 0.65 gal of pure antifreeze; x gal would contain 0.65x gal. Similarly, y gal of the 90% brand contains 0.90y gal of pure antifreeze.

To obtain 120 gal of 80% antifreeze solution (which contains 0.80•120 = 96 gal of pure antifreeze), we must have

x + y = 120 … … … … … [total volume of antifreeze solution]

0.65x + 0.90y = 96 … [total volume of pure antifreeze]

Solve the first equation for y :

y = 120 - x

Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x :

0.65x + 0.90 (120 - x) = 96

0.65x + 108 - 0.90x = 96

0.25x = 12

x = 48

Solve for y :

y = 120 - 48

y = 72

Which graph represents this equation? <br> Equation: y = 2/3x^2 - 6x
vovangra [49]

Answer:

I'm afraid that none of them are, as the x-intercepts of the equation are 0 and 9 respectively

however, D. is the closest to it, and it would be the correct graph if there were parentheses around x^{2}-6x
