Answer:
Thales's theory about the cause of earthquakes is consistent with his hypothesis that earth floats upon water. It seems that he applied his floating on water simile to the natural phenomena of earthquakes. Aëtius recorded that Thales and Democritus found in water the cause of earthquakes
Answer: The toy should be 2.4 inches tall
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
Explanation:
First convert 6 ft to inches
6 ft = (6 ft)*(12 in/1 ft) = (6*12) inches = 72 inches
So, 6 ft = 72 inches
The toy is manufactured with a scale of 1:30 meaning that the toy is 1 unit tall compared to the soldier which is 30 units tall. The soldier is 30 times taller than the toy. We can therefore form the ratio
1/30 = x/72
where x is the height of the toy soldier in inches
Cross multiply and solve for x
1/30 = x/72
1*72 = 30*x
72 = 30*x
72/30 = 30*x/30
72/30 = x
x = 72/30
x = 12/5
x = 2.4
So the toy should be 2.4 inches tall.
Note how 30 times 2.4 gives us
30*2.4 = 72
which fits with the theme that the real soldier is 30 times taller than the toy counter part.
Set up the equation by writing the number of students in the ratio as a fraction:
3/4= (245-x)/x Cross multiply:
3x= 4(245-x) Multiply on right:
3x= 980-4x Add 4x on both sides:
7x= 980 Divide both sides by 7:
x= 140 this is how many girls there are. And:
245-140= 105= boys
The standard form of a parabole is: (y-k) = a(x-h)², Where (h , k) are the coordinates of the vertex
In the example Vertex (3,1) ,
so (y-1) = a(x-3)². (a)
Now let's calculate a. The y-intercept coordinates(0 , 10), Replace in (a) x by 0 & y by 10:
(10-1) = a(0 - 3)²
9 = 9a and a=1
<u />The equation becomes : y-1 = (x-3)², Expand (y-1) = x²-6x+9
<u />and finally y = x² - 6x +10 (ANSWER C)
Answer:
I think the answer is C, sorry if I'm wrong
