Answer:

50 minutes = 50/60 hours = 0.8333333333 hours

8 miles / 0.8333333333 hours = 9.60 miles per hour

9 miles / 9.60 miles per hour =

0.9375 hours = 56.25 minutes

Answer:

It would take 56 minutes for the athlete to run 9 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an athlete runs 8 miles in 50 minutes, he is doing that in 5/6 or 0.83 of an hour. Therefore, using crossed multiplication, we can know the speed in miles per hour in which he was running:

0.83 = 8

1 = X

8 x 1 / 0.83 = 9.63

As he ran at 9.63 miles/h, we can use another crossed multiplication to know how much time would take him to run 9 miles:

9.63 = 1

9 = X

9 x 1 / 9.63 = 0.934/1 of an hour

0.934 x 60 = 56

It would take 56 minutes for the athlete to run 9 miles.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^2

f(x)=y

y=2x^2

y=2(-2)^2

y=2(4)

y=8

y=2x^2

y=2(-1)^2

Y=2

Y=2X^2

y=2(0)^2

y=0

y=2x^2

y=2(1)^2

y=2

y=2x^2

y=2(2)^2

y=8

Given cos t = 1/2 tan 0 find sin (t) and sec (t)

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Sin(t) = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} }$ and $sec(t) =2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The secant function is the reciprocal function of the cosine function. Therefore, given that $sec(t) = \frac{1}{cos(t)}$ then, if $cos(t) = \frac{1}{2}$ then $sec(t) =2$ .
