The scale of a map is 1 inch : 9.5 miles.

Mathematics
1 answer:
DedPeter [7]3 years ago

Answer:

  • 2.526 in
  • 4.211 in

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of inches, divide miles by 9.5.

__

a) 24 miles = (24 mi)×(1 in)/(9.5 mi) = (24/9.5) in ≈ 2.526 in

__

b) 24 miles + 16 miles = 40 miles = (40 mi)×(1 in)/(9.5 mi) = 40/9.5 in ≈ 4.211 in

_____

Comment on units conversion

I find it convenient to work units conversion problems by writing a fraction that is equal to 1 and multiplying by that to change units. My fraction has the "to" units in the numerator, and the "from" units in the denominator. That way, the unwanted units cancel when the multiplication is carried out.

The fraction is equal to 1 because the measurement in the numerator is equal to the measurement in the denominator.

__

Some folks prefer proportions. If you do it that way, be sure "like" is matched with "like".

  map inches/ground miles = 1/9.5 = x/24

  route inches/scale inches = route miles/scale miles = x/1 = 24/9.5

Consider the exponential functions below.
klio [65]

The functions in order from least to greatest according to their average rates of change are function f at the interval [1,2], function h at the interval [0,2] and function g at the interval [2,3]

<h3>How to order the functions?</h3>

The rate of change is calculated using:

m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

For function g at the interval [2,3], we have:

m = \frac{g(3) - g(2)}{3- 2}

This gives

m = \frac{20 - 4}{3- 2}

m =16

For function h at the interval [0,2], we have:

m = \frac{h(2) - h(0)}{2- 0}

Where:

h(2) = 3(3)^2 - 9 = 18

h(0) = 3(3)^0 - 9 = -6

This gives

m = \frac{18 + 6}{2 - 0}

m = 12

For function f at the interval [1,2], we have:

m = \frac{f(2) - f(1)}{2- 1}

This gives

m = \frac{12 - 6}{2 - 1}

m = 6

Hence, the functions are function f at the interval [1,2], function h at the interval [0,2] and function g at the interval [2,3]

Please help!!! I have a chance to get $50 if I get all of these questions right!!
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

number 1 is c      number 2 is b,c,e  number 3 is b

Step-by-step explanation:

1: if you see something to the power you will always think of repeated multiplication off the bat. so you just multiply the coefficient by the amount of the exponent.

2: 1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1=1 no

2*2*2*2=16 yes

4*4=16 yes

8*8=64 no

16=16 yes

3: 3/4*3/4*3/4=27/64

hope this helps! have a nice day!

The equation of line k is y=
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Neither parallel nor perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you meant line k is y = 3x -2. If not, this is wrong.

For this, you need to put both lines in point-slope form, or the form that line k is already in. This means you only need to convert line m.

-2r + 6v = 18

6v = 2r + 18

v = 2/6r + 18/6

v = 1/3r + 3

Now you can answer the question.

To be parallel, lines must have the same slope (but a different y-intercept). 3 and 1/3 are not the same, so the lines are not parallel.

To be perpendicular, one line must have the opposite reciprocal (fraction flipped and + goes to - or - to +) of the other. While 3 is the reciprocal of 1/3, they are both positive, so they are not perpendicular.

To be the same line, the equations must be absolutely identical, which they aren't.

This leaves the last option: neither.

Let me know if you need a more in-depth explanation of anything here! I'm happy to help!

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=6x and that passes through the point (-7,1)
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

so y=6x+43

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is 6, so using y=mx+b

1=6(-7)+b, b = 43

so y=6x+43
