Answer:

The distance is equivalent to 800 rods and 2200 fathoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The distance of the Kentucky Derby in furlongs is 20 furlongs.

Now, in order to convert the distance in rods and fathoms, we use the conversion factor for each.

We know that,

1 furlong = 40 rods.

Therefore, the conversion factor is $\frac{40\ rods}{1\ furlong}$

So, 20 furlongs is equivalent to rods = $20\ furlongs\times \frac{40\ rods}{1\ furlong}=800\ rods$

Therefore, 20 furlongs is equivalent to 800 rods.

Now, we also know that,

1 furlong = 110 fathoms

So, the conversion factor is $\frac{110\ fathoms}{1\ furlong}$

So, 20 furlongs is equivalent to rods = $20\ furlongs\times \frac{110\ fathoms}{1\ furlong}=2200\ fathoms$

Therefore, 20 furlongs is equivalent to 2200 fathoms.

Answer:

The fourth angle = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

The fourth angle = 360° - 100° - 120° - 80° = 60°

Answer:

$x=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that all three sides of the given triangle has one tick mark.

This means that all three sides are congruent, meaning that we have an equilateral triangle.

And for equilateral triangles, all three angles are also congruent.

So:

$\angle CBA=\angle BAC=\angle ACB$

Also, recall that the interior angles of a triangle is always 180. Thus:

$\angle CBA+\angle BAC+\angle ACB=180$

Substitute:

$\angle CBA+\angle CBA+\angle CBA=180$

Combine like terms:

$3\angle CBA=180$

Substitute:

$3(6x)=180$

Multiply:

$18x=180$

Thus:

$x=10$

And we are done!

Often sales of a new product grow rapidly at first and then level off with time. This is the case with the sales represented by

True [87]

Answer:

Here we have the function:

S(t) = 500 - 400*t^(-1)

Then the rate of change at the value t, will be:

S'(t) = dS(t)/dt

This differentiation will be:

S'(t) = -400/t^2

Then:

a) the rate of change at t = 1 is:

S'(1) = -400/1^2 = -400

The rate of change after one year is -400

b) t = 10

S'(10) = -400/10^2 = -400/100 = -4

The rate of change after 10 years is -4, it reduced as the years passed, as expected.
