"Dimensional analysis" is the primary way to make conversions between any units. Some have trouble because they fail to make it an important point to label units, but labeling units correctly makes tracking and making any conversion very simple...The process and thinking is that you want to cancel out units that you don't need in the solutions...

(198ft/s)(12in/ft)(2.54cm/in)(m/100cm)=60.3504m/s (and that is exact)

d=5s(60.3504m/s)=301.752m

ugh...assume that a meter equals 3.3 feet and do not round your answers???
really? These people are idiots when there is an exact conversion. What is the point of not rounding when you are using a horrible approximation? :D

(198ft/s)(m/3.3ft)=60m/s

d=5s(60m/s)=300m

Answer:

We have been given the conversion rate as:

1 meter is equal to 3.3 feet.

Given condition is :

A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 198 feet per second.

So, the speed in meters per second is = $\frac{198}{3.3}$ meter per second

= 60 meter per second.

And at this speed, the parachutist will fall $60\times 5=300$

= 300 meters

Answer: SAS Similarity theorem.

Explanation.

SAS stands for Side - Angle - Side.

SAS theorem states that if two triangles have corresponding angles that are congruent and corresponding sides with identical ratios, then the triangles are similar.

And that is what the figure shows:

1) The angle at M is the same for both triangles.

2) The ratios of the sides are: 2/3 and 4 /6. Given that 2/3 = 4/6 you have that the two corresponding sides have identical ratios.

Where are the asymptotes for the following function located? f (x) = StartFraction 14 Over (x minus 5) (x + 1) EndFraction

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

2 vertical asymptotes occurring at x = 5 and x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

given

$f(x) = \frac{14}{(x-5)(x+1)}$

recall that asymptotic occur at the locations that will make the equation undefined. In this case, the asymptote will occur at x-locations which will cause the denominator to become zero (and hence undefined)

Equating the denominator to zero,

(x-5)(x+1) = 0

(x-5) =0

x = 5 (first asymptote)

or (x+1) = 0

x = -1 (2nd asymptote)

Given f(x) = x^2+4, does there exist an x-intercept between [-2, 3]. Why or why not. Be sure to include in your discussion the I

Anna35 [415]

The x-intercepts are the values of x for which f(x) = 0.
x^2 + 4 = 0
x^2 = -4
x= ±√(-4), which are not real numbers. f(x) does not have an x-intercept.

Answer: 130

In order to solve for <4, you need to know that supplementary angles add up to 180°.
<3 = 50
180 - 50
130

**For future questions**
1. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°
2. Alternate interior angles are congruent
3. The exterior angle of a triangle is the sum of the nonadjacent interior angles
