The distance from around the Earth along a given latitude can be found using the formula C=2∏r cos L , where r is the radius of

the Earth and L is the latitude. The radius of Earth is approximately 3960 miles. Describe the distances along the latitudes as you go from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.

Answer:

The distance reduces to 0 as you go from 0° to 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires you to find the distance using different values of L and check the trend of the values.

Given C=2×pi×r×cos L where L is the latitude  in ° and r is the radius in miles then;

Taking r=3960 and L=0° ,

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 0°

C=2×\pi×3960×1

C=7380\pi

Taking L=45° and r=3960 then;

C= 2×\pi×3960×cos 45°

C=5600.28\pi

Taking L=60° and r=3960 then;

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 60°

C=3960\pi

Taking L=90° and r=3960 then;

C=2×\pi×3960×cos 90°

C=2×\pi×3960×0

C=0

Conclusion

The values of the distance from around the Earth along a given latitude decreases with increase in the value of L when r is constant

A tourist in France wants to visit 8 different cities. If the route is randomly selected, what is the probability that she will
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Probability p( selecting 8 cities alphabetically) = 2.48×10^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of possible ways of choosing 8 cities=Permutation P(n,k) = n!/(n-k)!

P(8,8)= 8!/(8-8)! = 8! = 40,320

Probability (selecting 8 cities alphabetically) = 1/40320 = 2.48×10^-5

2y = 4x - 8 <br>3x + 2y = 6<br>graph​
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to let a graphing calculator draw the graph (attached).

__

If you're drawing the graph by hand, there are a couple of strategies that can be useful.

The first equation is almost in slope-intercept form. Dividing it by 2 will put it in that form:

  y = 2x -4

This tells you that the y-intercept, (0, -4) is a point on the graph, as is the point that is up 2 and right 1 from there: (1, -2). A line through those points completes the graph.

__

The second equation is in standard form, so the x- and y-intercepts are easily found. One way to do that is to divide by the constant on the right to get ...

  x/2 +y/3 = 1

The denominators of the x-term and the y-term are the x-intercept and the y-intercept, respectively. If that is too mind-bending, you can simply set x=0 to find the y-intercept:

  0 +2y = 6

  y = 6/2 = 3

and set y=0 to find the x-intercept

  3x +0 = 6

  x = 6/3 = 2

Plot the intercepts and draw the line through them for the graph of this equation.

___

Here, we have suggested graphing strategies that don't involve a lot of manipulation of the equations. The idea is to get there as quickly as possible with a minimum of mistakes.
