Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to understand that every time a radio wave goes 300,000,000 meters a second passes, literally what meter per second means.    of course it doesn't go that far, it goes 384,000 one way and then the same distance back, which makes 768,000.  Under a third of the distance to make 1 second, so it will be less than one second.  

You also want to understand the formula for speed.  speed = distance / time.  Whch also means, to find time you can change it to be time = distance / speed.  And hey, we have distance and speed.  768,000 / 300,000,000 = .00256, I'll leave the significant figures to you unless you need help with them.  but that's .00256 of a second.  or .00256 s

Answer: 2.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Radio waves travel at the speed of light, approximately 300,000,000 m/s.

i.e. Speed = 300,000,000 m/s

Distance from Earth to the Moon= 384,000 km

Since 1 km = 1000 m

Then , Distance from Earth to the Moon= 384,000,000 m

Distance from Earth to the Moon and back = 2(384,000,000)=768 ,000,000 m

The formula we use here :

\text{Time}=\dfrac{\text{Distance from Earth to the Moon and  back}}{\text{Speed}}

i.e.  \text{Time}=\dfrac{768 000000}{300000000}=2.56

Hence, it will take 2.56 seconds  for a radio message to travel from the Earth to the Moon and back.

Fatima writes down three square numbers.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Fatima wrote down 3 square numbers

since we don't know the three square we will represent it by any variable (X)

3x=30

so you divide both sides by 3

so we have 3x/3=30/3=10

therefore the answer is 10

For the function f(x)=8(x+10), find f^-1(x)
NeTakaya
In other words, find the inverse of the given function f(x).

1.  Replace f(x) with "y."     y = 8(x+10)
2.  Interchange x and y:      x = 8(y+10)
3.  Solve this for y:             y+10 = x/8, or y = x/8 - 10

                                   -1
4.  Replace "y" with "f     (x) "       

          -1           x-80
         f   (x) = ----------     (Answer)
