Answer:

Arc length is 12436.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

arc length = $\frac{M degree}{360degree}$ * πD

where M is the angle measure of the arc

and D is the diameter

considering the earth as a circle and half the earth as a semi circle the angle measure of the arc will be = 180 degrees

$\frac{180}{360}$ * π * 7917.5 = 12436.8m

What directed number is suggested by the statement "I gained 3 pounds "?

sammy [17]

Answer:

The directed number suggested is +3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A directed number is one that has either a positive or negative sign, so that it could be easily located on the number line. Thus, the sign shows the direction of the number. Examples are: -2, -1, +5, +6 etc.

From the given question, let the initial weight be represented by W, then:

I gained 3 pounds implies at that; 3 pounds was added to my initial weight. Thus, my present weight is my initial weight + 3 pounds.

i.e I gained 3 pounds ⇒ W + 3

So that the directed number suggested by the statement is +3.

<h3>Answer: choice 4. f(x) and g(x) have a common x-intercept</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

For me, it helps to graph everything on the same xy coordinate system. Start with the given graph and plot the points shown in the table. You'll get what you see in the diagram below.

The blue point C in that diagram is on the red parabola. This point is the x intercept as this is where both graphs cross the x axis. Therefore, they have a common x intercept.

------------

Side notes:

Choice 1 is not true due to choice 4 being true. We have f(x) = g(x) when x = 2, which is why f(x) > g(x) is not true for all x.
Choice 2 is not true. Point B is not on the parabola.
Choice 3 is not true. There is only one known intersection point between f(x) and g(x), and that is at the x intercept mentioned above. Of course there may be more intersections, but we don't have enough info to determine this.
