Answer:

time=1.2\times 10^{-1}\ second

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The speed of the radio is 3\times 10^{8} meters per second.

The distance of the satellite from the earth is 3.6\times 10^{7} meter

The formula of the speed is

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

For time the formula is.

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

put distance and speed value in above equation.

time = \frac{3.6\times 10^{7}}{3\times 10^{8}}

time = \frac{1.2 x 10^{7}}{10^{8}}

time=1.2\times 10^{7}\times 10^{-8}

time=1.2\times 10^{7-8}

time=1.2\times 10^{-1}\ second

Therefore, the radio will be take the time is 1.2\times 10^{-1}\ second or 0.12 seconds.

-9=-3(x+2)<br>solve for x <br>show steps
lianna [129]

SimplifyOkie dokie so first things first, you have to get rid of those parentheses! To do this you use the distributive property. -3(x+2) is the same thing as -3(x)+-3(2). that and you get -9=-3x-6. So you want to get x by itself to be able to find what x is, so you add 6 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -6. So then you get -3=-3x. Then you must divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which would be -3. When you divide both sides by -3 you get -3/-3=x, which is the same thing as 1=x. Hope this helped!

Write an absolute value inequality for the graph below. Use x for your variable. ​
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

|x| ≥ 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the absolute value means that any value of x will always be positive, meaning that the absolute value of -7 or less would be 7 or greater, which satisfies the inequality above and line graph.

Can someone explain to me?
san4es73 [151]
The answer is (it can be curved) because it's doesn't have to cross the origin and it's a U shape so it can't look like a straight line and it doesn't have a constant rate of change. :)

EXTRA POINTS * how do you graph y=2x + 1
ahrayia [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

first u need to pick a random coordinate to substitute the X . example 0

y = 2(0) + 1

y =1 , X= 0

X= 1

y= 2(1) + 1

y= 3, X= 1

then you continue this same process and again until u have at least two points to draw a straight line. it kinda depended if u want to fill the entire graph.
