Answer:

A)

58/3 = 19.33 hours

B)

84.00 hours

C)

2074.29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the assumption the earth is a perfect circle, then in a complete rotation ( 24 hours) the earth will rotate through  360 degrees or 2π radians.

A)

In one day or 24 hours the earth rotates through 360 degrees. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 290 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 290 degrees, then the following proportions hold;

(24/360) = (x/290)

solving for x;

x = (24/360) * 290 = 58/3 = 19.33 hours

B)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians. We are required to determine the duration it will takes the Earth to rotate through 7π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 7π radians, then the following proportions hold;

(24/2π radians) = (x/7π radians)

Solving for x;

x = (24/2π radians)*7π radians = 84 hours

C)

If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in a day or 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle;

circumference = 2*π*R = π*D

                         = 7920*3.142

                         = 24891.43 miles

Therefore a point on the equator covers a distance of 24891.43 miles in 24 hours. This will imply that the speed of the earth is approximately;

(24891.43miles)/(24 hours) = 1037.14 miles/hr

The distance covered by the point in 2 hours will thus be;

1037.14 * 2 = 2074.29 miles

Which is the best interpretation of the solution set for the compound inequality?
andriy [413]

Answer:

  all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the solution to the first inequality:

  3(2x +1) > 21 . . . . . . given

  6x +3 > 21 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  6x > 18 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3

  x > 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

This is all numbers to the right of 3 on the number line.

__

The solution to the second inequality is ...

  4x +3 < 3x + 7 . . . . given

  x < 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3x+3

This is all numbers to the left of 4 on the number line.

__

The conjunction in the system of inequalities is "or", so we are looking for values of x that will satisfy at least one of the conditions. <em>Any value of x</em> will satisfy one or the other or both of these inequalities. The solution is all real numbers.
