Why do you divide by 60 after calculating the area of the trapezoid (to calculate the distance)? I got 900 but I don’t know why

you divide by 60 to get 15 as your answer. Ignore the pen marks.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What you are trying to do is a nice way to solve this problem. Without knowing any physics, you are using what math you know to get the answer. You are actually very close to being correct, and you are right. You do have to divide by 60.

Here's why and it is the one bit of physics you have to know.

The speed is km/hour. That word hour is the culprit. Your time is in minutes and you have to get it into hours. In physics, the units have to be consistent.

So ...

b1 = 19 minutes which is 19 min [1 hour / 60 minutes] = 19/60 = 0.31667 hour

b2 = 26 minutes which is 26 min [ 1 hour/60 minutes] =  26/60 = 0.4333 hour

h = 40 km/hour

Area = (0.31667 hour + 0.4333 hour)*40 km/hour /2

Area = 0.75 hour * 40 km/hr //2

Area = 15 km

Answer:

  [-4,3]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the left-right (horizontal) extent of the function. The dots at the end of the continuous line are solid, so the brackets on the interval are square brackets.

The left dot is at x=-4; the right dot is at x=3, so the domain is ...

Find two number nearest to 8888888 which are exactly divisible by 2915​
Marysya12 [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given problem is to find nearest number,

= 8888888/2915

quotient = 3049

remainder= 1053

Now, 2915-1053 = 1862

8888888+1862 = 8890750

8888888-1053 = 8887835

Two numbers nearest to 8888888 which are exactly divisible by 2915 is 8887835 and 8890750

Which are the solution of x2=-5x+8
yawa3891 [41]

rewrite the equation set = to 0.

x^2 + 5x - 8 = 0

The quadratic will not factor so you have to use the quadratic formula.

x = (-b + - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a

x = (5 + - sqrt(25 - 4* 1* -8))/2

x = (5 + - sqrt 57)/2


The x2is not the same as 2x. It is x^2. X tot he second power which makes the problem a quadratic equation. You cannot combine the terms x^2 and -5x because they so not have the same power.
