Answer:

The cab is -1/3 west of north.

( from the starting point it goes 1 block to the north and 3 blocks to the west . Cab is at (-2,-1))

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A taxicab starts at (1, -2) on the grid.

  • It goes 4 blocks south and 3 blocks east to pick up a passenger.

This implies that the cab will reach at a point (4,-6)

( Since going south means it will go some units down and similarly going east means it will go some units to the right.

Hence, here going 4 blocks south and 3 blocks east means it will go to:

(1,-2) → (1+3,-2-4)=(4,-6) )

  • Then it goes 6 blocks west and 5 blocks north and drops off the passenger.

This means that the cab will drop the passenger at (-2,-1)

Since going north means it will go some units up and similarly going west means it will go some units to the left.

Hence, here going 6 blocks west and 5 blocks north means it will go to:

(4,-6) → (4-6,-6+5)=(-2,-1) )

Hence, the end point is (-2,-1)

Now the slope of the line joining the starting and the end point is:

i.e. line joining (1,-2) and (-2,-1) is:

=\dfrac{-1+2}{-2-1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{-3}\\\\\\=-\dfrac{1}{3}

Hence, the taxicab is -1/3 block west of north.

i.e. from the starting point it goes 1 block to the north and 3 blocks to the west.

i.e. the cab is in west-north direction from the starting point.

Qual a altura máxima atingida por um projétil cuja trajetória pode ser descrita pela função: h(x) = –4x² + 5, sabendo que h é a
masya89 [10]

Answer:

A altura máxima é 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Matematicamente, a altura máxima pode ser obtida

A altura máxima é simplesmente o vértice da parábola

Começamos diferenciando a função Isso será -8x

Agora, defina -8x como 0

Isso significa que x = 0

Agora, substitua x = 0 de volta na equação temos

f (0) = -4 (0) ^ 2 + 5

f (0) = 5

A altura máxima é 5

What’s the answer for A B and C?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

a = 2

b = 3

c = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

       First, let us look at the first two (far left) fractions to solve for a.

Since 2^5 = 2^5, nothing needs to change in the numerator. 4 = 2^{2}

    a = 2.

       Next, we will look at the first and third fractions to solve for b.

2^5 = 32

32 / 4 = 8

2^3 = 8

    b = 3

       Lastly, we will solve for c.

All of these fractions simplify to 8 and are equal to each other.

    c = 8

Ede4ka [16]

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the pricing per kilowatt energy set by the distributor/regulation in the jurisdiction, the due amount to be paid to the distributor may differ;

kW/h * price per kW = power bill

The power bill is also paid regularly such as monthly or annually and therefore will bear a due date.

$700 is invested at 4% per annum. How long will it take for the amount to reach $784?​
Blababa [14]

Answer:

3yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Capital = $700

Percentage interest  = 4% per annum

Unknown:

Time it will take for amount to be  = $784

Solution:

To find the simple interest on an amount;

        I = \frac{PRT}{100}

P is the principal

R is the rate

T is the time

I is the interest

    Insert the parameters:

        I  = \frac{700x 4 x T}{100}

        I = 28T

So;

   At the end of the duration:

       Principal + Interest  = Amount

          700+28T = 784

                   28T = 784 - 700

                   28T = 84

                       T = 3yrs
