Step-by-step explanation:
"Solutions to the equation" just means that they are points on the line. To find out if these two points land on this line, plug each one in, like this:
1.5 = (1/4)(1) + (5/4)
1.5 = (1/4) + (5/4)
1.5 = (6/4)
1.5 = 1.5
Since the expression is true, this point is on the line.
Do the same process for the second point (remember a point is formatted (x,y)) and see if it is also a point on the line.
To find the x-intercept, simply plug in 0 for y and see what you get. It should look like (x,0).
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
a is defined first as 5. So a = 5.
b is defined after the circle b = -2
a^2 = 5^2 = 25
B^4 =(- 2)^4 = 16
Therefore sqrt(a^2 * b^4) = sqrt(25 * 16) = sqrt(400) = 20
The answer is C
Answer:
15

9 squared + 12 squared
Answer:
The Great Ocean Conveyor Belt
Step-by-step explanation:
The ocean is not a still body of water. There is constant motion in the ocean in the form of a global ocean conveyor belt. This motion is caused by a combination of thermohaline currents (thermo = temperature; haline = salinity) in the deep ocean and wind-driven currents on the surface. Cold, salty water is dense and sinks to the bottom of the ocean while warm water is less dense and remains on the surface.
The ocean conveyor gets its “start” in the Norwegian Sea, where warm water from the Gulf Stream heats the atmosphere in the cold northern latitudes. This loss of heat to the atmosphere makes the water cooler and denser, causing it to sink to the bottom of the ocean. As more warm water is transported north, the cooler water sinks and moves south to make room for the incoming warm water. This cold bottom water flows south of the equator all the way down to Antarctica. Eventually, the cold bottom waters returns to the surface through mixing and wind-driven upwelling, continuing the conveyor belt that encircles the globe.
