Split into two right angled triangles
label your sides a, b and c
C always has to be the hypotenuse in a right angled triangle
it doesn’t matter which is a/which is b
a^2+b^2=c^2
we know B and C
A^2= C^2-B^2
C=25
B=15
25^2-15^2=20^2
base=20feet

Find the slope of the function f ( x ) = 5x/2 + 3, by the definition of limit. Express answer as a fraction using the "/" key as

musickatia [10]

$\huge{\boxed{\frac{5}{2}}}$

Slope-intercept form is $f(x)=mx+b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$\frac{5x}{2}=\frac{5}{2}x$ , so change the equation to represent this. $f(x)=\frac{5}{2}x+3$

Great! Now the function is in slope-intercept form, so we can just see that $m$ , or the slope, is equal to $\boxed{\frac{5}{2}}$

Ferris wheel has a diameter of 60 ft. How far will a rider travel during a 5 minute ride if the wheel rotates once every 15 seco

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

3769.92 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the wheel, d= 60 ft

We know the perimeter of the wheel is,

= πd

= 3.1416*60

= 188.496 ft

Wheel travel for 5 minutes. So the wheel travel,

= 5*60

= 300 sec

The wheel rotates in every 15 seconds. So the wheel rotates,

= 300/15

= 20 times

In one rotation, the wheel travels its perimeter. so is 5 minutes it travels,

= 188.496*20

= 3769.92 ft
