On average, a herd of elephants travels 10 miles in 12 hours.

the space station has an average orbit of 250 miles above the earth. how many pennies would it take to make a stack that high? p

KatRina [158]

250 miles is 1 320 000 feet.

A penny is 0.005 feet tall.

You'd need 1 320 000 / 0.005 = 264 000 000 pennies to make a stack that high

Determine whether set of values represents an inverse variation. If yes, identify the constant of variation and write an inverse

Natasha_Volkova [10]

SOLUTION

If the table represents an inverse variation, it means that y is inversely proportional to x, written as

$\begin{gathered} y\propto\frac{1}{x} \\ \propto is\text{ a sign of proportionality } \end{gathered}$

Removing the proportionality sign and introducing a constant k, we have

$\begin{gathered} y=k\times\frac{1}{x} \\ y=\frac{k}{x} \end{gathered}$

In the first column, we have x = -4 and y = 3.5. Substituting these values for x and y, we have

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{k}{x} \\ 3.5=\frac{k}{-4} \\ k=3.5\times-4 \\ k=-14 \end{gathered}$

So, if it's an inverse variation, the relationship would be

$y=\frac{-14}{x}$

In the second column, x = -2 and y = 7.

Now lets substitute the value of x for -2. If we get y to be 7, then the relationship is an inverse variation

We have

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{-14}{x} \\ y=\frac{-14}{-2} \\ y=7 \end{gathered}$

Since we got y = 7, the relationship is therefore an inverse variation.

The constant k = -14

The equation for the inverse variation is

$y=\frac{-14}{x}$

Here's a question for the day, it's simple but it needs explaining.

GuDViN [60]

It is used to see if a graph represents a function because if there is 2 dots or intersecting lines within the other lines then it is not a function. if there is only one line or dot, then yes, it is a function. hope i explained it well.

PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!<br> Question is in the image.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range of a data set is the difference between the upper and lower quartiles.

First, put the values in order from least to greatest:

8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 22

To find the upper quartile, we need to first find the median.

The median of this data set is 11, because it is in the middle of the values.

The upper quartile is the median of all the numbers to the left of 11.

The median of 8, 9, 9, 9, and 10 is 9, because it's in the middle.

So the upper quartile is 9.

The lower quartile is the same, but to the right of 11. The median of 13, 15, 17, 18, and 22 is 17 because it's in the middle.

Now, to find the interquartile range, find the difference between 18 and 9.

17 - 9 = 8

Given: sinθ = -3/5, θ is a third quadrant angle, and tan φ = -7/24, φ is a second-quadrant angle; find cos(θ + φ])

Natali [406]

Answer:

First option: cos(θ + φ) = -117/125

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that cos(θ + φ) = cos(θ)cos(φ) - sin(θ)sin(φ)

If sin(θ) = -3/5 in Quadrant III, then cos(θ) = -4/5.

Since tan(φ) = sin(φ)/cos(φ), then sin(φ) = -7/25 and cos(φ) = 24/25 in Quadrant II.

Therefore:

cos(θ + φ) = cos(θ)cos(φ) - sin(θ)sin(φ)

cos(θ + φ) = (-4/5)(24/25) - (-3/5)(-7/25)

cos(θ + φ) = (-96/125) - (21/125)

cos(θ + φ) = -96/125 - 21/125

cos(θ + φ) = -117/125
