Complete Question:

Annette and Rose went to an orchard to pick pears. Annette picked $8\frac{1}{6}$

pounds of pears and Rose picked $6\frac{1}{8}$ pounds. How much more did Annette pick than Rose? Write your answer as a reduced mixed number.

Answer:

Annette picked $2\frac{1}{24}$ pounds of pears more than Rose

Step-by-step explanation:

Pounds of pears picked by Annette = $8\frac{1}{6}$

Pounds of pears picked by Rose = $6\frac{1}{8}$

To get the difference in the pounds of pears picked by Annette and Rose, we will do a simple subtraction:

Difference in the pounds of pears picked = $8\frac{1}{6} - 6\frac{1}{8}$

$= 2(\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{8})\\= 2\frac{4 - 3}{24} \\= 2\frac{1}{24}$

A projectile is fired upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 300 feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, the hei

levacccp [35]

Answer: The polynomial that describes the projectile's height is:

P(t) = - 16t*2 + 300t

For t = 1 second we have:

P(1) = - 16*1^2 + 300*1

P(1) = 284 ft

The height of the projectile after 1 second is 284 feet.

Answer:

4 (5/12). four and five-twelfths

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 is the same as 2/4, so: 1 1/2 = 1 2/4

1 2/4 + 2 1/4 = 3 3/4

3/4 and 2/3 have a LCM or least common multiple of 12

4 x 3 = 12 and 3 x 4 =12; but whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top (3/4) turns into (9/12) and (2/3) turns into (8/12)

9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12 or 1 5/12 as a mixed number

3 + 1 5/12 = 4 5/12

An object in shm oscillates with a period of 4.0s and an amplitude of 11 cm . part a how long does the object take to move from

Alika [10]

If the Amplitud is 11×2=22cm and the wave was in shm then we can get the wavelength as 11×2=22s.
From the wave equation,

v=fλ Where v⇒speed
f⇒frequency and
λ⇒Wavelength

And we know that;
f=1/T
f = 1/4 =0.25 Hz
∴v = 0.25 ×22 = 5.5 cm/s

Since we know know the speed of the object we can get its time it takes from (0-6.5) cm.

v = fλ = λ/T

∴T = λ/v
= 6.5/5.5
= 1 2/11
= 1.181818s

The time taken for the object to move from x = 0.0 cm to x = 6.5 cm is 1.181818s

An artist is designing triangular mirrors. Determine the number of different triangles that she can form using the given measure

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

There are two solutions:
B = 58.7°, C = 82.3°, c = 6.6 cm
B = 121.3°, C = 19.7°, c = 2.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given a side and its opposite angle (a, A), so the Law of Sines can be used to solve the triangle. The side given is the shorter of the two given sides, so it is likely there are two solutions. (If the given side is the longer of the two, there will always be only one solution.)

The Law of Sines tells you ...

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

Of course, the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so once you find angle B, you can use that fact to find angle C, thus side c.

The solution process finds angle B first:

B = arcsin(b/a·sin(A)) . . . . . . or the supplement of this value

then angle C:

C = 180° -A -B = 141° -B

finally, side c:

c = a·sin(C)/sin(A)

A triangle solver application for phone or tablet (or the one on your graphing calculator) can solve the triangle for you, or you can implement the above formulas in a spreadsheet (or even do them by hand). Of course, you need to pay attention to whether the functions involved give or take radians instead of degrees.
