x(t) = 20t

y(t) = 40t - 5t^2

Since we are only interested in comparing the two at time t = 5 seconds, we plug in 5 everywhere we see the variable t and then compare x and y

x(5) = 20(5) becomes x(5) = 100

y(5) = 40(5) - 5(5)^2 becomes y(5) = 200 - 125 and then y(5) = 75

The ratio of y to x can be expressed as: y/x, so we can say the ratio is equal to 75/100 or 0.75

Answer: 0.75

What is the length of one leg of the triangle? 64 cm 64 StartRoot 2 EndRoot cm 128 cm 128 StartRoot 2 EndRoot cm.
zmey [24]

Answer:

Use the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles to solve this

a^2 + b^2 = c^2     where 'a' and 'b' are the legs of the triangle and 'c' is the hypotenuse

so:

8^2 + b^2 = 17^2     solve for the second leg, b

64 + b^2 = 289

b^2 = 289 - 64= 225

b = 15
