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

So, I'm assuming that the x represents multiplication...
Because multiplication has a higher precedence over addition, we'll multiply the numbers first:
18 + 48
Then we simply add:

(1 point) consider the function f(t)=⎧⎩⎨⎪⎪⎪⎪0,−5,−6,6,t<00≤t<11≤t<7t≥7;f(t)={0,t<0−5,0≤t<1−6,1≤t<76,t≥7; 1. wr

sergij07 [2.7K]

$f(t)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

Recall that

$u(t)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

Take it one piece at a time. For $t\ge0$ , we can scale $u(t)$ by -5:

$-5u(t)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

If we shift the argument by 1 and scale by -5, we have

$-5u(t-1)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

so if we subtract this from $-5u(t)$ , we'll end up with

$-5u(t)+5u(t-1)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

For the next piece, we can add another scaled and shifted step like

$-6u(t-1)+6u(t-7)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

so that

$-5u(t)+5u(t-1)-6u(t-1)+6u(t-7)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

For the last piece, we add one more term:

$6u(t-7)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }t$

and so putting everything together, we get $f(t)$ :

$f(t)\equiv-5u(t)+5u(t-1)-6u(t-1)+6u(t-7)+6u(t-7)$
$f(t)\equiv-5u(t)-u(t-1)+12u(t-7)$

Solve the system of equations.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

( -3, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 13 = 2x + 1

6x -2x = 1-13

4x = -12

x = -12/4 = -3

y = 6x + 13

y = 6(-3) +13 = -18+13 = -5

(x, y) = (-3,-5)

The length of a rectangle is 5 in. More than 3 times its width. The quadratic function f(x) = x(3x + 5) represents the area of t

True [87]

Answer: Domain of function is $R^{ + }$ or (0, $\infty$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming x as width of rectangle

so, Width = x

Question says, Length is 5in more than 3 times id width.

we write as Length = 3x+5

Therefore, Area of rectangle will be given function f(x)

f(x) = x(3x+5)

Here, It is important to notice that width and length of rectangle will always be positive values and also, area of rectangle is always positive.

we can write in equation as

$x > 0$

$f(x) > 0$

Thus, Domain of function is $R^{ + }$ or (0, $\infty$ )

Triangle ABC is a right triangle. The legs of the triangle are AB = 6 cm and BC = 12 cm. Find the measure of angle A.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

63.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that AB and BC are the legs of the right triangle, then opposite to angle A is side BC and adjacent to angle A is side AB.

By definition, the tangent of angle A is:

tan(∠A) = opposite leg / adjacent leg

tan(∠A) = BC/AB

tan(∠A) = 12/6

∠A = arctan(2)

∠A = 63.4°
