-5/16

Our choices:-

A.-3/8

B.-11/12

C.-1/4

 D.-1/8

Let us get all of them with a LCD

-1*2 = -2
8*2 = 16

-2/16 is not bigger than -5/16

-11/12 is bigger than -5/16 because half of 16 is 8.

-1*4 = -4
4*4= 16

-4/16 is not bigger than -5/16

-1/8 is smaller than -5/16

Final answer: -11/12 is the only fraction bigger than -5/16

The estimated velocity v (in miles per hour) of a car at the end of a drag race is v=234\sqrt[3]{p/w} , where p is the horsepowe

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

299 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

$v=\frac{234}{\sqrt[3]{\frac{p}{w}}}$

$v=\frac{234}{\sqrt[3]{\frac{1311}{2744}}}$

$v\approx299$

Therefore, the velocity of the car at the end of a drag race is 299 miles per hour

An isosceles trapezoid ABCD with height 2 units has all its vertices on the parabola y=a(x+1)(x−5). What is the value of a, if p

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a = -0.3575

Step-by-step explanation:

The points A and D lie on the x-axis, this means that they are the x-intercepts of the parabola, and therefore we can find their location.

The points A and B are located where

$y=a(x+1)(x-5)=0$

This gives

$x=-1$

$y=5$

Now given the coordinates of A, we are in position to find the coordinates of the point B. Point B must have y coordinate of y=2 (because the base of the trapezoid is at y=0), and the x coordinate of B, looking at the figure, must be x coordinate of A plus horizontal distance between A and B, i.e

$B_x=A_x+\frac{2}{tan(60)} =-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}$
