Slope is change in y over change in x.
Slope = (1-3)/(8 - -2)
Slope = -2/10
Slope = -1/5
Answer: -1/5
Express the radius of the Sun as a proportion to radius of Earth:
695500/6378 = 109.04...
Now if a baseball would represent Earth, the model for Sun would have to be about 110 times larger than a baseball. A baseball is about 3" in diameter, so the model for Sun would have to be about 330" (or 27 feet) in diameter.
The answer should be no it is not reasonable to use baseball as a model for the Earth because the Sun would need to be about the size of a hot air balloon!
Answer:
-x<-16
Step-by-step explanation:
4-3(1-x)
x=-1
7-2(x+2)
x=2
Answer:
13=x
Step-by-step explanation:
Side-spliting theorem
21/(x-4)=14/6
cross multiply
21*6=14*(x-4)
distribute 14
126=14x-56
add 56 to both sides
126+56=14x-56+56
leaving you with
182=14x
Divide both sides by 14 to get x by itself
182/14=14x/14
13=x
Answer:
4 sec
Step-by-step explanation:
let y = 0 which is the height when the rocket hits the ground
-3t^2 + 6t + 24 = 0
-3(t^2 - 2t - 8) = 0
-3(t - 4)(t + 2) = 0
t = 4 or t = -2
time cannot be negative, so t = 4 sec
