-5 might be farther than -4 for but -4 is bigger. Because any number on the left side of the number line closer to zero is bigger.

-4 is less than -5 even though they are both on the same side of the number line. -4 is closer to zero.

fire work a travels at the speed 300 ft/s firework b travels 240 ft/s. firework b is launched 0.25s before firework a. how many
storchak [24]

Answer:

Both fireworks  will explode after 1 seconds after firework b launches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Speed of fire work A= 300 ft/s

Speed of Firework B=240 ft/s

Time before which fire work b is launched =0.25s

To Find:

How many seconds after firework b launches will both fireworks explode=?

Solution:

Let t be the time(seconds) after which both the fireworks explode.

By the time the firework a has been launched, Firework B has been launch 0.25 s, So we can treat them as two separate equation

Firework A= 330(t)

Firework B=240(t)+240(0.25)

Since we need to know the same time after which they explode, we can equate both the equations

330(t) = 240(t)+240(0.25)

300(t)= 240(t)+60

300(t)-240(t)= 60

60(t)=60

t=\frac{60}{60}

t=1

A rectangular playground has an area of 768 square meters. If the width of the rectangle is 32 meters, find the length.
Lapatulllka [165]
The length is 24 because 768 is the are and to find area you would do length x width but in this case the width has already been told so you have:
32 X____=768
so you do 768÷32= 24 so that's your answer sorry for such a long explanation which probably wasn't necessary but oh well!

- 3x + 4 and passes through the point (2,5)
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

y=(x+13)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is not quite clear, i think u mean y= -3x + 4

then, the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is m1.m2= -1, hence, -3.m2= -1 m2 = 1/3

y-5=1/3(x-2) y=x/3+13/3 or y=(x+13)/3

Graph y=8.5xy=8.5xy, equals, 8, point, 5, x.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

  • A, B, E

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given equation</u>

  • y = 8.5x

<u>Answer choices</u>

A. The equation represents a proportional relationship.

  • TRUE, it is in the form of y = kx

B. The unit rate of change of y with respect to x is 8.5

  • TRUE, y = mx + b, the slope m = 8.5 is the rate of change

C. The slope of the line is 2/17

  • False, the slope is 8.5

D. A change of 17 units in x results in a change of 2 units in y.

  • False, a change of x = 17 results in 17*8.5 = 144.5 units in y

E. A change of 4 units in x results in a change of 34 units in y.

  • TRUE, because 4*8.5 = 34
