Answer:

The equation that can be used to determine m, the number of minutes it will take the helicopter to reach the  hospital is 172 \times (\frac{m}{60} ) = 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a medical rescue helicopter is flying at an average speed of 172 miles per hour toward its base hospital. At 2:42 p.m., the helicopter is 80 miles from the hospital.

As we know that the Distance-Speed-Time formula is given by;

                           \text{Distance} = \text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

Here, Distance = 80 miles

          Speed = 172 miles per hour

          Time = m (the number of minutes)

Firstly, as we can see that the speed is in miles per hour but the time is in minutes, so we will convert the time in hours, i,e;

           Time = \frac{\text{m}}{60} \text{ (in hours)}

So,  \text{Distance} = \text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

       80 = 172 \times (\frac{\text{m}}{60})

       \text{m} = \frac{80 \times 60}{172}

       m = 27.91 ≈ 28 minutes.

Hence, it will take 28 minutes for the helicopter to reach the  hospital.

Which phrase describes a nonlinear function?
Lorico [155]
The only non-linear equation from your choices is the area of a circle as it is:

A=πr^2  and if you take the derivative of A you have:

dA/dr=2πr

So the rate of change changes as r changes, it is not constant thus the function has acceleration, so velocity changes.

This is in contrast to any linear equation which is of the form:

y=mx+b  now taking the derivative you see that:

dy/dx=m, now m is a constant value, which means that there is no acceleration and the velocity remains constant.

Answer:

60-9pi if you need that rounded then 31.73

Step-by-step explanation:

10*6= 60

the two semi circles make one full circle. a circle formula is pi*r^2 = pi*3^2= 9pi

then subtract 9pi from 60

60-9pi = 31.73
