Answer:

-38 - 12x < 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original elevation = -38 feet,

Also, the explorer starts moving at a rate of negative 12 feet per minute.

So, the distance covered by explorer after x minutes = -12x feet,

Thus, the final elevation = original elevation +  distance covered by explorer

= -38 - 12x

According to the question,

final elevation < -200 feet

⇒ -38 - 12x < 200

Which is the required inequality.

Answer:

-38 - 12x < 200

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

The original elevation = -38 feet,

Also, the explorer starts moving at a rate of negative 12 feet per minute.

So, the distance covered by explorer after x minutes = -12x feet,

Thus, the final elevation = original elevation +  distance covered by explorer

= -38 - 12x

According to the question,

final elevation < -200 feet

⇒ -38 - 12x < 200

Which is the required inequality.

Find the exact length of the third side
Daniel [21]

Answer:

√23

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are given two side lengths of a right triangle, you use the Pythagorean theorem to find the third side: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse (the longest side).

All you have to do is plug the given information in:

Remember, 13 is the hypotenuse for this triangle.

12² + b² = 13²

Simplify:

144 + b² = 169

Subtract 144 from both sides:

b² = 169-144

b² = 23

Square root both sides:

b = √23

And that's your answer!

There are 20 players on a soccer team. From them, a captain and an alternate captain have to be chosen. How many possibilities a
tester [92]

Answer:

190 possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is called 20 choose 2, given by the formula for combinations

C(20,2) = 20! / (2! (20-2)!) = 190

alternatively, we can reason it this way:

there are 20 choices to choose a captain and 19 choices for an alternate captain for a total of 380 ways.

However, there are 20 choices to choose an alternate captain and 19 choices for a captain for a total of 380 ways.

Since we are essentially double counting every choice of the posts, we need to divide 380 by 2 to get 190 ways.
