Answer:

1/10 per sec

Step-by-step explanation:

When he's walked x feet in the eastward direction, the angle Θ that the search light makes has tangent

tanΘ = x/18

Taking the derivative with respect to time

sec²Θ dΘ/dt = 1/18 dx/dt.

He's walking at a rate of 18 ft/sec, so dx/dt = 18.

After 3seconds,

Speed = distance/time

18ft/sec =distance/3secs

x = 18 ft/sec (3 sec)

= 54ft. At this moment

tanΘ = 54/18

= 3

sec²Θ = 1 + tan²Θ

1 + 3² = 1+9

= 10

So at this moment

10 dΘ/dt = (1/18ft) 18 ft/sec = 1

10dΘ/dt = 1

dΘ/dt = 1/10 per sec

Which equation represents a quadratic function?<br> y = x2<br> y = 2x<br><br> y =1/x^2
ehidna [41]

Answer:

  y = x²

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function is a polynomial function that has a variable to the power of 2 as the highest degree term. y = 1/x^2 is not a polynomial. y=2x is a linear function.

  y = x^2 is a quadratic function

If you currently have $300 set aside for the trip and you're only able to save $75 a week, write an inequality representing how
algol13

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem

I will assume that the total amount required for the trip is $1,200

so

Let

x ----> the number of weeks

we know that

The number of weeks multiplied by $75 plus $300 must be at least $1,200

In this context, the term "at least" means "greater than or equal to"

so

The linear inequality that represent this problem is

75x+300\geq 1,200

Solve for x

subtract 300 both sides

75x\geq 1,200-300

75x\geq 900

Divide by 75 both sides

x\geq 12\ weeks

therefore

The minimum number of weeks you need to save is 12

tangare [24]
There is a 1/2 chance that he will get at least one of the two features.

There are 3 x 4 = 12 possibilities. There are all 4 colors of each 3 sizes.

All 4 of the medium trucks have one of the features.

For the other 2 sizes, only the red truck will have one of the features.

There are 4 + 2 = 6 possibilities out of 12 for a chance of 6/12 or 1/2.
