Let w represent weight here. Then 0.05w = 300 lb.
300 lb
Solving for w, w = ------------- = 6000 lb (3 tons)
0.05

Which of the following represents the set in words?

jekas [21]

Answer:

It's actually: None of these.

Think about it: In this case we have an inequality, of x ≤ 0.

This basically means, that x can be less than OR equal to 0.

But 0 is neither negative or positive, so we can eliminate the following answer choices:

- all positive integers

- all negative real numbers

- all positive real numbers

- all negative integers

And we are left with "None of these"

Let me know if this helps!

A scientist measures the angle x and the distance y between the Earth and the Sun. Using complete sentences, explain how the sci

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The scientist can use only the angle x and the distance y to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun using the cosine function.Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the length of the adjacent side and the length of the hypotenuse. In equation form:

cos x = BC / y

Solving for BC

BC = y cos x

BC is the distance between the Earth and the sun

The path of a launched missile can be modeled by a quadratic function. Explain how you would use the function to determine the g

abruzzese [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic y = ax² + bx + c, where y is the height and x is horizontal distance, the highest point is at x = -b / (2a). The horizontal distance it travels before landing is the x-intercept.

100POINTS!!!! PLEASE HELP EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER!!! BRAINLIEST!!!

Nitella [24]

Example: Does the point (5, 2) lie within the solution set of the given system of inequalities?

y ≤ x − 5

y ≥ −x − 4

Focus on the first inequality. Does (5,2) satisfy this inequality? Is 2 ≤ 5 - 0 true? Yes, it is true. Before we call (5,2) a solution, we must determine whether or not (5,2) also satisfies the 2nd inequality: Is 2 ≥ -(5) - 4 true?

Is 2 ≥ -9? Yes! So, yes, (5,2) is a solution of this system of inequalities.

We must check out the other three possible solutions in the same fashion.

Try out the point (5,-2). Does it satisfy both inequalities?

Focusing on the first inequality: Is -2 ≤ 5 - 5 true? Yes, it is. The key question here and now is whether or not (5,-2) also satisfies y ≥ −x − 4. Is

-2 ≥ -(5) - 4 true? Is -2 ≥ -9 true? Yes. Thus, (5,-2) satisfies both inequalities and is thus another solution.

Check out (-5,2) and (-5,-2) in precisely the same way. Is either one, or are both, a solution (or solutions) to the given set of inequalities?
