It was rounding to the nearest THOUSAND.


We are looking at the thousands place, keep that in mind.


Remember: everything 5 and above is rounded up, everything below 5 is rounded down.


186,789 is above 500, it is rounded to 187,000


186,899 is above 500, it is rounded to 187,000


185,990 is above 500, it is rounded to 186,000


and 185,190 is below 500, it is rounded to 185,000


Only one matches the criteria of the question:


185,990 is above 500, it is rounded to 186,000


therefore the answer is 185,990 miles per second



Have a fantastic day!

Rewrite ^3 sqrt 27x-81-5 to make it easy to graph a translation. Describe the graph.
iragen [17]
First we have to rewrite this function.Instead of :^3 sqrt (...) we can write : (...)^(1/3).
f ( x ) = ( 27 x - 81 ) ^(1/3) - 5 = ( 27 * ( x - 3 ) ) ^(1/3) - 5 = = 3 * ( x - 3 )^(1/3) - 5 And this makes it easy to graph a translation.The parent function is y = x^(1/3). The zero of this function is ( 0, 0 ).
Then it will be stretched vertically by a factor of 2 and translated: 3 units right and 5 units down.

SOLVE 3/4 +(1/3/1/6) -(1/2)
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 + (1/3/1/6) - (1/2)

3/4 + (1/3 ➗ 1/6) - 1/2

3/4 + (1/3 x 6/1) - 1/2

3/4 + ((1x6)/(3x1)) - 1/2

3/4 + (6/3) - 1/2

3/4 + 2 - 1/2

(3+8-2)/4

9/4

PLEASE HELP!! Will give brainliest if you give explanation!

The equation in slope-intercept is   y=0.625x+7.    


y = mx + b

where: 
m is the slope of the line 
b is the y-intercept of the line

The slope m of the line through any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:

The y-intercept b of the line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis. Since for point (x1, y1) we have y1 = mx1 + b, the y-intercept b can be calculated by:

b = y1 - mx<span>1.    hope that helped</span>
