Answer: x=0.25 or 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x + 1/6=4/3x

Subtract 2/3x on both sides

double the right side of the equation

for example 2*2/3*2=4/6, leading to 4/6x

4/3* 2/2= 8/6x

Subtract 8/6x-4/6x= 4/6x

Next, 1/6(x6) =4/6x(multiply 6)

1/6*6/1= 1 whole

1=4x Divide 4 on both sides giving you x=1/4 or 0.25

A projectile is fired with muzzle speed 250 m/s and an angle of elevation 45° from a position 30 m above ground level. Where doe

qaws [65]

The projectile's horizontal and vertical positions at time $t$ are given by

$x=\left(250\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos45^\circ\,t$

$y=30\,\mathrm m+\left(250\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin45^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.8\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ . Solve $y=0$ for the time $t$ it takes for the projectile to reach the ground:

$30+\dfrac{250}{\sqrt2}t-4.9t^2=0\implies t\approx36.2458\,\mathrm s$

In this time, the projectile will have traveled horizontally a distance of

$x=\dfrac{250\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}{\sqrt2}(36.2458\,\mathrm s)\approx6400\,\mathrm m$

The projectile's horizontal and vertical velocities are given by

$v_x=\left(250\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos45^\circ$

$v_y=\left(250\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin45^\circ-gt$

At the time the projectile hits the ground, its velocity vector has horizontal component approx. 176.77 m/s and vertical component approx. -178.43 m/s, which corresponds to a speed of about $\sqrt{176.77^2+(-178.43)^2}\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\approx250\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$ .

Ashley drove 864 miles in 12 hours, at the same rate how mnay would she drive in 9 hours?

loris [4]

864/12 = the rate per hour, which would be 72 mph. To find how many miles she would drive at the same rate, multiply the 72 (miles) with 9 (hours) which is equal to 648 miles

Find the value of z such that the area between -z and z is 85%

Marta_Voda [28]

We want the integral of the standard normal from -z to z to be 0.85. Let's look at some standard normal tables and pick the right one.

It's easy to find the Erf one, which is the integral of the unit normal from 0 to z. That will be exactly half of the integral from -z to z. So we look for the z value corresponding to a probability of 0.425 in that table and find

z = 1.44

Answer: 1.44
