Answer: The displacement of the student is 4 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Displacement is defined the shortest distance traveled by an object.

We are given:

A student is walking 3 blocks to the south, then he is moving 4 blocks to the west and finally he is moving 3 blocks to the north.

The displacement will be the distance of OC which is 4 blocks.

Block diagram of the movement of student is shown below.

Hence, the displacement of the student is 4 blocks.

Answer:

4 blocks west

Step-by-step explanation:

In (North, East) coordinates, the sum of the distances is ...

... (-3, 0) +(0, -4) +(3, 0) = (-3+0+3, 0-4+0) = (0, -4)

The net displacement is 4 blocks west.

Can someone help me?

Rasek [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

$given \: - 5n = 4m$

making m the subject first by dividing through by 4

$\frac{ - 5}{n} = \frac{4m}{4}$

$m = \frac{ - 5n}{4}$

from the question, given n = -1 ,0 ,1

so when n= -1

$m = \frac{ - 5( - 1)}{4}$

$m = \frac{5}{4}$

when n=0

$m = \frac{ - 5(0)}{4}$

$m = \frac{0}{4}$

$m = 0$

when n=1

$m = \frac{ - 5(1)}{4}$

$m = \frac{ - 5}{4}$

The measures of the angles of a triangle are ∠A = (2x)°, ∠B = (x+14)°, ∠C = (x−38)° Determine the value of x. Determine A B and

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Measures of angles are,

m∠A = (2x)°

m∠B = (x + 14)°

m∠C = (x - 38)°

By triangle sum theorem,

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

2x + (x + 14) + (x - 38) = 180

(2x + x + x) + (14 - 38) = 180

4x - 24 = 180

4x = 204

x = 51

m∠A = 2(51)° = 102°

m∠B = (51 + 14)° = 65°

m∠C = (51 - 38)° = 13°

Which best describes the range of the function f(x)=2/3(6)x after it has been reflected over the x axis

shtirl [24]

The range is all real numbers.

The function given simplifies to just f(x) = 4x.

This is just a straight line that is increasing from left to right. If we reflect the line over the x-axis, it is still a line that goes on forever in each direction.

Therefore, the range will be all real numbers.
