A tortoise and a hare are competing in a 2000-meter race. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 510-meter head st

art. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 8 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 5 meters per second. Define a function f to represent the tortoise's distance from the finish line (in meters) in terms of the number of seconds t since the start of the race.

The distance covered by the hare and the tortoise in t seconds are 8t and 5t respectively. (Simple Speed-Distance-Time relation)

The tortoise gets a 510m headstart so at t=0 is 1490m.

The functions representing the distance of both of them from the finish line is,

F(x)=2000-8t,. for hare

G(x)=1490-5t,. for tortoise

Perimeter of quadrilateral ANCM = AN+NC+CM+MA

CM=AM = x in
Therefore, AN=NC = x in
In other words, all sides of the new quadrilateral are equal.

Perimeter (P) = 4x in

Now, Cos 45 = (x-6)/x =>0.7041 = (x-6)/x => 0.7041x=x-6 =>x= 6/(1-0.70741)
x= 20.5 in

Therefore, P=4*20.5 = 82 in

vredina [299]

Answer:

5×10⁻²

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.
  • The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10. a.  If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative.

        b.  If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

  • Therefore. The answer is 5×10⁻²
