A butterfly can fly 82 feet in 4 seconds.

Distance traveled by butterfly = 82 feet.

Time taken by butterfly =4 seconds

Speed = distance /time

Speed of butterfly = 82/4 = 20.5 feet/second

A dragonfly can fly 50 feet in 2 seconds.

Distance traveled by dragonfly =50 feet.

Time taken by dragonfly =2 seconds.

Speed of dragonfly = 50/2 = 25 feet/second

So dragonfly can fly faster than the butterfly.

Difference in speed = speed of dragonfly - speed of butterfly = 25-20.5 = 4.5

So The dragonfly is 4.5 feet per second faster than butterfly.

Answer: B) The dragonfly is 4.5 feet per second faster.

Hello!

We have the following data:

a1 (first term or first year salary) = 32000

r (ratio or annual increase) = 300

n (number of terms or each year worked)

We apply the data in the Formula of the General Term of an Arithmetic Progression, to find in sequence the salary increases until it exceeds 34700, let us see:

formula:

$a_n = a_1 + (n-1)*r$

* second year salary

$a_2 = a_1 + (2-1)*300$

$a_2 = 32000 + 1*300$

$a_2 = 32000 + 300$

$\boxed{a_2 = 32300}$

* third year salary

$a_3 = a_1 + (3-1)*300$

$a_3 = 32000 + 2*300$

$a_3 = 32000 + 600$

$\boxed{a_3 = 32600}$

* fourth year salary

$a_4 = a_1 + (4-1)*300$

$a_4 = 32000 + 3*300$

$a_4 = 32000 + 900$

$\boxed{a_4 = 32900}$

* fifth year salary

$a_5 = a_1 + (5-1)*300$

$a_5 = 32000 + 4*300$

$a_5 = 32000 + 1200$

$\boxed{a_5 = 33200}$

We note that after the first five years, Mr. Browns' salary has not yet surpassed 34700, let's see when he will exceed the value:

* sixth year salary

$a_6 = a_1 + (6-1)*300$

$a_6 = 32000 + 5*300$

$a_6 = 32000 + 1500$

$\boxed{a_6 = 33500}$

* seventh year salary

$a_7 = a_1 + (7-1)*300$

$a_7 = 32000 + 6*300$

$a_7 = 32000 + 1800$

$\boxed{a_7 = 33800}$

* eighth year salary

$a_8 = a_1 + (8-1)*300$

$a_8 = 32000 + 7*300$

$a_8 = 32000 + 2100$

$\boxed{a_8 = 34100}$

* ninth year salary

$a_9 = a_1 + (9-1)*300$

$a_9 = 32000 + 8*300$

$a_9 = 32000 + 2400$

$\boxed{a_9 = 34400}$

* tenth year salary

$a_{10} = a_1 + (10-1)*300$

$a_{10} = 32000 + 9*300$

$a_{10} = 32000 + 2700$

$\boxed{a_{10} = 34700}$

we note that in the tenth year of salary the value equals but has not yet exceeded the stipulated value, only in the eleventh year will such value be surpassed, let us see:

* eleventh year salary

$a_{11} = a_1 + (11-1)*300$

$a_{11} = 32000 + 10*300$

$a_{11} = 32000 + 3000$

$\boxed{\boxed{a_{11} = 35000}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

Respuesta:

In the eleventh year of salary he will earn more than 34700, in the case, this value will be 35000

The family car runs out of gas. You have to push it up the driveway into a service station. The ramp is 4 meters long and rises

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope, m = 0.1m/4m = 0.025

Theoretical effort (ignoring friction) = 9000N * 0.025 = 225 N

actual effort = 300 N

efficiency

= potential energy out / actual energy in

= 225 N / 300 N = 0.75

Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\boxed{15.4z-12}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Here we have the following expression:

$7.4z-5(-1.6z+2.4)$

We combine like terms in order to simplify expression. To do so, we combine terms with the same variable and exponents. In this exercise, let's apply distributive property first:

$7.4z-5(-1.6z)-5(2.4) \\ \\ Remember \ these \ rules: \\ \\ (+)(+)=+ \\ \\ (-)(-)=+ \\ \\ (-)(+)=+ \\ \\ (+)(-)=- \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ 7.4z+8z-12 \\ \\ \\ Combining \ like \ terms \ 7.4z \ and \ 8z: \\ \\ \boxed{15.4z-12}$
