Answer:

Salena's got to the library first

Step-by-step explanation:

12½ miles = 25/2 miles

2½ miles = 5/2 miles

5¾ miles = 23/4 miles

114 miles = 114 miles

Salena's time of arrival =

if 5/2 miles : 5 minutes

then 25/2 miles : ?

25/2 ÷ 5/2. × 5

25/2 × 2/5 × 5

25 minutes

Justin 's time of arrival=

if 23/4 miles : 12 minutes

25/2 miles : ?

25/2 ÷ 23/4 ×12

25/2 × 4/23 ×12

26 minutes approximately

Brandon 's time of arrival=

if 114 miles : 258 minutes

25/2 miles : ?

25/2 ÷114 ×258

25/2 × 1/114×258

25 × 1/57 × 258

113 minutes approximately

(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the conical pile is given by

V = \dfrac{\pi}{3}r^2h

Taking the derivative of V with respect to time, we get

\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{\pi}{3}\dfrac{d}{dt}(r^2h)

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= \dfrac{\pi}{3}\left(2rh\dfrac{dr}{dt} + r^2\dfrac{dh}{dt}\right)

Since r is always equal to h, we can set

\dfrac{dr}{dt} = \dfrac{dh}{dt}

so that our expression for dV/dt becomes

\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{\pi}{3}\left(3r^2\dfrac{dh}{dt}\right)

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= \pi r^2\dfrac{dh}{dt}

Solving for dh/dt, we get

\dfrac{dh}{dt} = \dfrac{1}{\pi r^2}\dfrac{dV}{dt}

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= \dfrac{1}{9\pi\:\text{m}^2}(36\:\text{m}^3\text{/s})

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= \dfrac{4}{\pi}\:\text{m/s}

The graph of an equation is shown below:
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number of each pair is the x-coordinate, the horizontal location of the point.

The end points of the graphed line segment are (1, 3) and (-3, -2). It looks like the answer choices are intended to see if you can tell what order the coordinates are expressed in.

The appropriate choice is (1, 3), the upper right end point.

Answer:

  the correct choice (A) is marked

Step-by-step explanation:

The function g(x) is translated 3 right and 1 down from f(x).

The transformation ...

  g(x) = f(x -h) +k . . . . . . translates h right and k up

For your translation, you have (h, k) = (3, -1). Putting those into the transformation model above gives ...

  g(x) = (x -3)² -1 . . . . matches choice A
