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.

I need help finding the first five terms of the following explicit formula and the sequence

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explicit formula of the sequence,

$A_n=59+11n$

$A_1=59+11(1)$

$A_1=70$

$A_2=59+11(2)$

$A_2=81$

$A_3=59+11(3)$

$A_3=92$

$A_4=59+11(4)$

$A_4=103$

$A_5=59+11(5)$

$A_5=114$

Absolute value inequalities. 10-4|9y-10|<-94

Ivahew [28]

Answer: $\begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:y4\:\\ \:\mathrm{Decimal:}&\:y4\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(-\infty \:,\:-\frac{16}{9}\right)\cup \left(4,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$10-4\left|9y-10\right|$

$10-4\left|9y-10\right|-10$

$-4\left|9y-10\right|$

$\left(-4\left|9y-10\right|\right)\left(-1\right)>\left(-104\right)\left(-1\right)$

$4\left|9y-10\right|>104$

$\frac{4\left|9y-10\right|}{4}>\frac{104}{4}$

$\left|9y-10\right|>26$

$9y-1026$

$y4$

HELP PLEASE!! Identify the solution set of the inequality using the given replacement set. x < –2; {–5, –2.6, –2, –0.8, 1, 1.

UNO [17]

X< -2 means that x must be smaller than -2, so something like -3, -4, -5, etc

The only solution set that fits this is A.

Becky has a board that is 2 and 3/4 feet long. She needs to cut the board into 11 pieces of equal length. How long should each p

zzz [600]

Answer:

1/4 feet long should each pieces be.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity of 1 such as 3 miles per second or 4 km per hour

As per the statement: Becky has a board that is 2 and 3/4 feet long.

⇒ Length of a board = $2\frac{3}{4} =\frac{11}{4}$ feet

Also, she need to cut the board into 11 pieces.

by unit rate definition:

$\text{Unit rate per pieces} = \frac{\frac{11}{4} }{11}$

or

$\text{Unit rate per pieces} = \frac{11}{4} \times \frac{1}{11} = \frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, 1/4 feet long should each pieces be.
