Three minutes after a skydiver opens his parachute, he has descended 2,850 feet. After 5 minutes, he has descended 4,750 feet. I

f he descends at a constant rate throughout, how many feet did he descend in one minute?

3 minutes = 2850
5 minutes = 4750

In 8 minutes he descended = 7600

1 min = 7600/8 = 950ft per min

Hope i become the brainliest answer.

Assume y≠60 which expression is equivalent to (7sqrtx2)/(5sqrty3)

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The equivalent will be:

$\frac{\sqrt[7]{x^2}}{\sqrt[5]{y^3}}=\left(\:x^{\frac{2}{7}}\right)\left(y^{-\frac{3}{5}}\right)$

Therefore, option 'a' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{\sqrt[7]{x^2}}{\sqrt[5]{y^3}}$

Let us solve the expression step by step to get the equivalent

$\frac{\sqrt[7]{x^2}}{\sqrt[5]{y^3}}$

as

$\sqrt[7]{x^2}=\left(x^2\right)^{\frac{1}{7}}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}:\quad \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule:\:}\left(a^b\right)^c=a^{bc},\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0$

$=x^{2\cdot \frac{1}{7}}$

$=x^{\frac{2}{7}}$

also

$\sqrt[5]{y^3}=\left(y^3\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}:\quad \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule:\:}\left(a^b\right)^c=a^{bc},\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0$

$=y^{3\cdot \frac{1}{5}}$

$=y^{\frac{3}{5}}$

so the expression becomes

$\frac{x^{\frac{2}{7}}}{y^{\frac{3}{5}}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}$

$=\left(\:x^{\frac{2}{7}}\right)\left(y^{-\frac{3}{5}}\right)$ ∵ $\:\frac{1}{y^{\frac{3}{5}}}=y^{-\frac{3}{5}}$

Thus, the equivalent will be:

$\frac{\sqrt[7]{x^2}}{\sqrt[5]{y^3}}=\left(\:x^{\frac{2}{7}}\right)\left(y^{-\frac{3}{5}}\right)$

Therefore, option 'a' is true.

What is the approximate solution to this equation? 15(3)^2x=90

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

x ≈ 0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

$15(3)^2x = 90\\\\15(9)x = 90\\\\135x = 90\\\\x = 90/135\\\\ x = 2/3\\\\x = 0.666...\\\\x = 0.67 \ (rounded \ to \ nearest \ hundredth )$

What is the solution set of the quadratic inequality x^2-5<0

babymother [125]

Add 5 to both sides
x^2<5
take the square root of both sides
x<+/-√5
if you really think about it
√-5>x>-√5 is the solution since there is a squared

Jasmine needs to reduce the height of a picture from 5 inches to 2 inches so it will fit in the yearbook. What percentage of the

Usimov [2.4K]

Jasmine is reducing the height of the yearbook picture from 5 inches to 2 inches and we are trying to find the percentage of the original height that is the new height.

The original height was 5 inches and the new height is 2 inches.

new/original = 2/5

2÷5 = 0.4

0.4 = 40%

Thus, the new height is 40% of the original height.
