Three moons are in the same circular orbit around a planet. The moons are each 120,000 kilometers from the surface of the planet

, located at points A, B, and C. The planet is 60,000 kilometers in diameter and m∠ABC=90∘. How far is point A from point C?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

MN is the diameter of the planet which is $MN = 60000$

AM and NC are the distance of moons from the surface of the planet.

$AM = NC = 120000$

Since, angle ABC is given as 90 degree, it means, line AC will pass from the diameter of the planet.

So, distance between moon A and moon C is =

$AC=AM + MN + NC$

$AC = 120000+ 60000+ 120000$

$AC = 300000$

Hence the distance between point A and point C is 300000 Km. : Answer

Hope it will help :)

The number of salmon swimming upstream to spawn is approximated by the following function:

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The water temperature that produces the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream is approximately 12.305 degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $S(x) = -x^{3}+2\cdot x^{2}+405\cdot x +4965$ , for $6 \leq x \leq 20$ . $x$ represents the temperature of the water, measured in degrees Celsius, and $S$ is the number of salmon swimming upstream to spawn, dimensionless.

We compute the first and second derivatives of the function:

$S'(x) = -3\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x +405$ (Eq. 1)

$S''(x) = -6\cdot x +4$ (Eq. 2)

Then we equalize (Eq. 1) to zero and solve for $x$ :

$-3\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x +405 = 0$

And all roots are found by Quadratic Formula:

$x_{1} \approx 12.305\,^{\circ}C$ , $x_{2}\approx -10.971\,^{\circ}C$

Only the first root is inside the given interval of the function. Hence, the correct answer is:

$x \approx 12.305\,^{\circ}C$

Now we evaluate the second derivative at given result. That is:

$S''(12.305) = -6\cdot (12.305)+4$

$S''(12.305) = -69.83$

According to the Second Derivative Test, a negative value means that critical value leads to a maximum. In consequence, the water temperature that produces the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream is approximately 12.305 degrees Celsius.

4-(2x-3)=3 whats the answer

Oxana [17]

Hello there.

Explanation:

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

$4-(2x-3)=3$

First, subtract by 4 from both sides.

$4-(2x-3)-4=3-4$

Second, simplify.

$-(2x-3)=-1$

Third, divide by -1 from both sides.

$\frac{-(2x-3)}{-1}=\frac{-1}{-1}$

Fourth, simplify.

$2x-3=1$

Next, add by 3 from both sides.

$2x-3+3=1+3$

Then simplify.

$2x=4$

Therefore, divide by 2 from both sides.

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{4}{2}$

Finally, simplify.

$x=2$

<u><em>Answer⇒⇒⇒⇒x=2</em></u>

Hope this helps!

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. solve for x

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

67 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. So...

23 + x + 90 = 180

113 + x = 180

x = 67 degrees
