Answer:

  50

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the friends is changing at the constant rate of 50 mph.

___

The equation for the distance in the westerly direction is ...

  w = 30t . . . . . miles, where t is time in hours

The equation for the distance in the southerly direction is ...

  s = 40t . . . . . miles, where t is time in hours

Then the total distance between the friends is ...

  d = √((30t)² + (40t)²) = √(2500t²) = 50t  . . . . miles, where t is time in hours

And the rate of change of distance is the derivative of this with respect to t:

  dd/dt = 50 . . . . . . miles per hour

1f 3/4 gallon of paint can cover 1/8 of the fence how many gallons will he need to paint the whole fence
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

He will need 6 gallons of painting to paint the whole fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3/4 gallon of paint covered 1/8 of the fence, we have to multiply 3/4 by 8 in order to find the number of gallons that will paint the whole fence (because 8 x 1/8 = 1)

\frac{3}{4} x \frac{8}{1} = \frac{24}{4} = 6

Hope this helps!

How to get the right answer
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out the formula:                                     a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Plug in the numbers that you were given:    a^2 + 6^2 = 16^2

Solve for the numbers that you were given: a^2 + 36 = 256

Subtract:                                                                  - 36 = - 36

                                                                          a^2         = 220

Then, you find your answer:                            a^2 = 220

The square root of 220 is 14.832396974191326. But you are going to round it and you get 15. So, the answer is 15 cm.

Hope this helps

How do you find the slope-intercept form of a general equation:
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Y=-3/5+3

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to move y’all variables to one side except Y. Then divide them by 5 to get rid of the 5 attached to the Y. So then you have Y=Mx+b.
