Lusia ran 3 2/3 kilometers in 1/3 of an hour. If speed is distance over time, calculate lusia's speed.

5 0

In the question, they give you the formula for speed...

speed = distance / time

They also give you the distance and the time, so all we have to do is stick them into the equation...

speed = 3 2/3 Km / 1/3 hour
speed = 3 2/3 / 1/3

To divide the fractions, first we need to convert 3 2/3 into an improper fraction

3 2/3 = 11/3

now we multiply 11/3 x the reciprocal of the divisor 1/3. The reciprocal just means flip the numerator and denominator

speed = 11/3 x 3/1
speed = 33/3
speed = 11 Km/hour

Choose a counterexample that proves that the conjecture below is false.. abc is a right triangle, so angle A measures 90 degrees

andre [41]

Choose a counterexample that proves that the conjecture below is false.. abc is a right triangle, so angle A measures 90 degrees.

Answer: Out of all the options shown above the one that represents the counterexample that proves that the conjecture presented above is false is answer choice 2. Angle b is 90 degrees. The reason being that in a right angle there is only one angle that measures 90 degrees.

I hope it helps, Regards.

a pattern has 14 triangles to every 18 yellow triangles. what is the ratio of yellow triangles to blue triangles?

erma4kov [3.2K]

9:7
Ratios are always simplified so by dividing both 18 and 14 by 2 you get 9 and seven. Because yellow triangles is stated first the 9 is put before the 7 blue triangles.

Trisha and Byron are washing and vacuuming cars to raise money for a class trip. Trisha raised $38 washington 5 cars and vacuumi

ANEK [815]

Answer:

They charged $6 for washing and $2 for vacuuming the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the charge of washing a car be 'x'.

And also let the charge of vacuuming a car be 'y'.

Now according to question, Trisha raised $38 washing 5 cars and vacuuming 4 cars.

So framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

$5x+4y=38\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1$

Again according to question, Byron raises $28 by washing 4 cars and vacuuming 2 cars.

So framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

$4x+2y=28\ \ \ \ \ equation\2$

Now multiplying equation 2 by '2', we get;

$2(4x+2y)=28\times2\\\\8x+4y=56\ \ \ \ equation\ 3$

Now we subtract equation 1 from equation 3 and get;

$(8x+4y)-(5x+4y)=56-38\\\\8x+4y-5x-4y=18\\\\3x=18\\\\x=\frac{18}{3}=6$

Now substituting the value of 'x' in equation 1, we get;

$5x+4y=38\\\\5\times6+4y=38\\\\30+4y=38\\\\4y=38-30=8\\\\y=\frac{8}{4}=2$

Hence They charged $6 for washing and $2 for vacuuming the car.

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{D)} \ 15x^4 + 2x^3 - 8x^2 - 22x - 15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this multiplication of polynomials by understanding how to multiply these large terms.

To multiply two polynomials together, we must multiply each term by each term in the other polynomial. Each term should be multiplied by another one until it's multiplied by all of the terms in the other expression.

We can do this by focusing on one term in the first polynomial and multiplying it by all the terms in the second polynomial. We'd then repeat this for the remaining terms in the second polynomial.

Let's first start by multiplying the first term of the first polynomial, $3x^2$ , by all of the terms in the second polynomial. ( $5x^2+4x+5$ )

$3x^2 \cdot 5x^2 = 15x^4$
$3x^2 \cdot 4x = 12x^3$
$3x^2 \cdot 5 = 15x^2$

Now, we can add up all these expressions to get the first part of our polynomial. Ordering by exponent, our expression is now

$\displaystyle 15x^4 + 12x^3 + 15x^2$

Now let's do the same with the second term ( $-2x$ ) and the third term ( $-3$ ).

$-2x \cdot 5x^2 = -10x^3$
$-2x \cdot 4x = -8x^2$
$-2x \cdot 5 = -10x$

Adding on to our original expression: $\displaystyle 15x^4 + 12x^3 - 10x^3 + 15x^2 - 8x^2 - 10x$

$-3 \cdot 5x^2 = -15x^2$
$-3 \cdot 4x = -12x$
$-3 \cdot 5 = -15$

Adding on to our original expression: $\displaystyle 15x^4 + 12x^3 - 10x^3 + 15x^2 - 8x^2 - 15x^2 - 10x - 12x - 15$

Phew, that's one big polynomial! We can simplify it by combining like terms. We can combine terms that share the same exponent and combine them via their coefficients.
