Dylan and Frank have designed a compression algorithm used for directions to unknown locations. In their algorithm the direction

to travel at each intersection encountered is replaced with a single letter: "E" for East, "W" for West, "N" for North and "S" for South. In addition, the string "EEE" is replaced with "A" and "SSS" is replaced with "D". Which of the following best describes the directions which are expressed as "NASSA" when compressed using Dylan and Frank’s algorithm?

Answer:

The directions followed for each intersection in order are North, 3 times East, 2 times South

and 3 times East.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the word NASSA in their algorithm we know the direction they take in the first intersection is North (N).

The second letter is A = EEE, which means in the 3 next intersections they follow the East.

The two Ss indicate they follow South in the next 2 intersections.

And finally, they follow the East in the last 3 intersections.

Their direction choices can be summarized in North-East-East-East-South-South-East-East-East.

It took a car 4 days to travel 2686 miles. What was this car's average speed, in miles per hour? (round to the nearest mile per
mixer [17]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we know that in a day there are 24 hrs so in 4 days there will be 96 hrs

so the car travelled 2686 miles in 96 hours

2686/96= 27.9791666667

So the car's average speed is about 28

Determine the equation of a circle with a center at (–4, 0) that passes through the point (–2, 1) by following the steps below.
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Radius length: √5

Standard Form (Equation): (x + 4)^2 + y^2 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will determine the radius;

Center: (-4, 0)

Point on Circumference: (-2, 1)

d = √(-2 - (-4))^2 + (1 - 0)^2 = √(2)^2 + (1)^2

= √4 + 1 = √5

Therefore the radius is of length √5

Now the equation of a circle is in the form ((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2) = r^2. The center is in the form (h,k) and r is the radius. Given this our equation would be (x - (-4))^2 + (y - 0)^2 = (√5)^2, or [simplified] (x + 4)^2 + y^2 = 5.

Differentiate. Y=5x^2 +6x
blagie [28]
The answer to this question is y' = 10x^2 + 6. You have to use the power rule to bring the exponent down as a coefficient and then reduce the exponent by 1. Do it for all the terms using the sum rule for derivatives (derivative of a sum of the sum of its derivatives).
