We are given the speed of the shuttle as:

speed = 28,000 miles / hour

We know that:

1 mile = 5280 ft

24 hour = 1 day

Therefore by conversion:

speed = (28,000 miles / hr) * (5280 ft / 1 mile) * (24 hr / day)

speed = 3,548,160,000 ft / day

In 2 significant figures:

<span>speed = 3.5 x 10^9 ft / day</span>

Able, ben and cal each played a game.

iragen [17]

Answer:

Ratio of Able's score to Ben=6:1

Ratio of Ben's score to Cal's=1:2

Ratio of able's score to ben;s score to cal's score=6:1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ben's score =x

Able scored six times Ben's score

Able=6*x

=6x

Cal scored a third of Able's score

Cal=1/3 of 6x

=1/3(6x)

Ratio of Able's score to Ben

6x:x

=6:1

Ratio of Ben's score to Cal's score

x:1/3(6x)

=x:6x/3

=x:2x

=1:2

Ratio of able's score to ben;s score to cal's score=6:1:2

Please solve and show work

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9. f(g(-n))

g(-n) = -(n²+5) = -n²-5

f(g(-n)) = 2n+1 (-n²-5 )

2n(-n²-5)+1(-n²-5 )

-2n³-10n-n²-5

-2n³-n²-10n-5

n²(-2n-1) +5(2n-1)

(n²+5)(2n-1)

10. (2x+2)(x³+3)

2x(x³+3)+2(x³+3)

2x⁴ + 2x³ +6x +6

2x³(x+1)+6(x+1)

(2x³+6)(x+1
