Apex Grocery wants to build a warehouse that is exactly five miles from each of the routes between stores L, M, and N. Which con

struction correctly finds the best location of the warehouse?

Answer: Option C - Construction Y because point E is the circumcentre of triangle LMN.

Point E is the best location for the warehouse as it is exactly equidistant from the three stores at L, M and N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving an algebra problem, it sometimes helps to get a geometric picture of what's happening. Geometry says that three points determine a circle - in other words, given three points that are not

all on the same line, there is exactly one circle which passes through all 3. Finding the point equidistant from the 3 points is the same thing as finding the center of the circle that passes through all of them (since all points on a circle are equidistant from the center).

Our points are L, M and N. Draw the lines LM, LN and MN to form a triangle. Now construct the perpendicular bisectors of any two of the lines, and their intersection, point E, will be the center of this circle.

As shown in the Construction Y because E is the circumcentre of triangle LMN.

This is the best location for the warehouse as it is exactly equidistant from the three stores at L, M and N.

For the first one, they got rid of the 6x when they shouldn’t have, and the correct answer is x = 21.5


For the second one, 47 would be subtracted by 180, not 90, and the correct answer is 133


For the third one, 5x - 10 doesn’t equal 115, 5x - 10 equals 180 - 115, and the correct answer is x = 17

1. The height of a missile t seconds after it has been fired is given by h=4.9t^2+44.1t. How many seconds will it take for the r
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The rocket will take 4.5 seconds to reach its maximum height.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a missile t seconds after it has been fired is given by h=-4.9*t²+44.1*t

This function is a quadratic function of the form f (x) = a*x² + b*x + c. In this case a=-4.9, b=44.1 and c=0

To calculate how many seconds it will take for the rocket to reach its maximum height, I must calculate the maximum of the function. The maximum of a quadratic function is the vertex of the parabola. The x coordinate of the vertex will be simply: x=\frac{-b}{2*a}. The y coordinate of the vertex corresponds to the function evaluated at that point.

In this case the x coordinate of the vertex corresponds to the t coordinate. In other words, by calculating the x coordinate of the vertex, you are calculating the maximum time t it will take for the rocket to reach its maximum height. So:

t=\frac{44.1}{2*(-4.9)}

t=4.5

<u><em>The rocket will take 4.5 seconds to reach its maximum height.</em></u>

The altitude in feet of a plan minutes after is given by =3400 +600. How many after liftoff is the plane at an altitude of 21,00
nekit [7.7K]
A= 3400t + 600 | given formula
21000= 3400t + 600 | substitute the altitude into the formula
20400 = 3400 | subtract 600 from both sides
6 = t | divide both sides by 3400
