Well, it cant be option B because then it wuld be half the time (180 mins.)

It cant be option D becasue then it would be over 360 mins, seeing that it only took 8 mins to type 360

And it cant be option C beacuse it would be too small, if 4 mins is to small then 3 mins is worse

Your answer would be A 5 minutes it's just a little bit above 4 mins(half)

Answer:

A. 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question using proportions

Let x be the number of minutes needed to type 225 words.

8 minutes = 360 words

     x          = 225 words

Cross-multiply

360 × x  =  225× 8

360 x = 1800

Divide both-side of the equation by 360

\frac{360x}{360}  = \frac{1800}{360}

(On the left-hand side of the equation, 360 at the numerator  will cancel-out 360 at the denominator, while on the right-hand side of the equation 1800 will be divided by 360)

x= 5 minutes

Therefore, it will take 5 minutes to type 225 words

A pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal, as shown below: A pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal. The interior
DiKsa [7]
See the picture attached to better understand the problem   

we know that
(x+20)+∠1=180°-------> by supplementary angles
∠1=160°-x

∠1+∠2=180°--------> by supplementary angles
∠2=180-(160-x)-----> ∠2=20+x

∠2=80°------> by corresponding angles
so
20+x=80
x=80-20-------> x=60°

the answer is
60°

What are the solutions of the equation 9x4 – 2x2 – 7 = 0? Use u substitution to solve. tions of the equation 9
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u^2=x^4\\u = x^2

Subbing in:

9u^2-2u-7=0

a = 9, b = -2, c = -7

The product of a and c is the aboslute value of -63, so a*c = 63.  We need 2 factors of 63 that will add to give us -2.  The factors of 63 are {1, 63}, (3, 21}, {7, 9}.  It looks like the combination of -9 and +7 will work because -9 + 7 = -2.  Plug in accordingly:

9u^2-9u+7u-7=0

Group together in groups of 2:

(9u^2-9u)+(7u-7)=0

Now factor out what's common within each set of parenthesis:

9u(u-1)+7(u-1)=0

We know this combination "works" because the terms inside the parenthesis are identical.  We can now factor those out and what's left goes together in another set of parenthesis:

(u-1)(9u+7)=0

Remember that u=x^2

so we sub back in and continue to factor.  This was originally a fourth degree polynomial; that means we have 4 solutions.

(x^2-1)(9x^2+7)=0

The first two solutions are found withing the first set of parenthesis and the second two are found in other set of parenthesis.  Factoring (x^2-1) gives us that x = 1 and -1.  The other set is a bit more tricky.  If

9x^2+7=0 then

9x^2=-7 and

x^2=-\frac{7}{9}

You cannot take the square root of a negative number without allowing for the imaginary component, i, so we do that:

x=±\sqrt{-\frac{7}{9} }

which will simplify down to

x=±\frac{\sqrt{7} }{3}i

Those are the 4 solutions to the quartic equation.
