An integer is close to zero if it is "small".
By small, we mean that it is small in absolute value. In fact, for any given distance , there are two integers that are
units away from zero:
and
.
So, for example, -6 is close to zero than 8, because -6 is six units away from zero, while 8 is eight units away from zero.
So, the answer is B, -8, because it is 8 units away from zero. The other options A, C and D are, respectively, 12, 10 and 14 units away from zero.
Answer:
The distance between them after 30 minutes is 6.5 km.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed =
Sarah's speed = 6 km/hr = 1.6667 m/s
Emily's speed = 10 km/hr = 2.7778 m/s
The measure of angle between their bearings =
After 30 minutes (1800 seconds);
distance = speed x time
Sarah would have covered a distance = 1.6667 x 1800
= 3000 m
= 3 km
Emily would have covered a distance = 2.7778 x 1800
= 5000 m
= 5 km
The distance between them, a, can be determined by applying the cosine rule;
=
+
- 2bcCos A
= +
-2(5000 x 3000) Cos 105
= +
-2(5000 x 3000) x (-0.2588)
= 2.5 x + 9 x
+ 7764000
= 41764000
a =
= 6462.5073
a = 6462.5 m
The distance between them after 30 minutes is 6.5 km.
Answer:
x = 1, y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have the two equations:
and
, we can look at which variable will be easiest to eliminate.
looks like it might be easy to get rid of, we just have to multiply
by 2 and y is gone (as -6y + 6y = 0).
So let's multiply the equation by 2.
Now we can add these equations
------------------------
Dividing both sides by 5, we get .
Now we can substitute x into an equation to find y.
Hope this helped!
