Answer:

The answer is C > A > B

Step-by-step explanation:

This a conservation of momentum problem, that means that the initial momentum of the system is equal to final momentum of the system.

The mass of the big fish is 5 times greater than the mass of the smaller fish, therefore, to make things simpler,

Let the mass of the big fish be 5 kg and the mass of the small one be 1 kg.  

In our case we have:

Momentum before lunch = momentum after lunch.

(v_{1} *m_{1}) + (v_{2} *m_{2}) = (m_{1} *m_{2})* v\\

In the first case (A), v1 = 4 m/s ; v2 = 0 m/s  

(4 m/s*5kg) + (0 m/s*1 kg) = (5kg + 1 kg)*v

20 + 0 = 6v

V = \frac{20}{6}

V = \frac{10}{3} m/s

In the second case (B), v1 = 4 m/s ; v2 = -1 m/s  (v2 is negative because it’s going to the opposite direction of the bigger fish)

(4 m/s*5kg) + (-1 m/s*1 kg) = (5kg + 1 kg)*v

20 - 1 = 6v

V = \frac{19}{6} m/s

In the third case (C), v1 = 5 m/s ; v2 = -2 m/s  (v2 is negative because it’s going to the opposite direction of the bigger fish)

(5 m/s*5kg) + (-2 m/s*1 kg) = (5kg + 1 kg)*v

25 - 2 = 6v

V = \frac{23}{6} m/s

Therefore, the greatest speed is the third case and the smallest is the second case. So, C > A > B

Step-by-step explanation:

f°g=f(g(x))

g(x)=x^2-6x

f(x)=1/x

f(g(x))=\frac{1}{x^2-6x}

if the denominator is zero the number is undefined which makes it not in the domain of the function

set x^2-6x equal to 0

the values for x is 0 or 6

so the only value that is not in the domain of f°g is 0 and 6

Hope that helps :)

An acute angle, θ, is in a right triangle such that cos θ = 12/13. What is the Value of csc θ? (100 Points!)
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

csc θ = 13/12

Step-by-step explanation:

cos θ = 12/13

Formula: cos θ = 1/cscθ

Its just the reciprocal.

solve:

1/csc θ = 12/13

csc θ = 13/12

Someone please help me on this question ?:)
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: The TV is 48 inches wide.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the solution to this equation we must use the Pythagorean theorem. The Py. Theo. is basically the formula :

a^2 + b^2 = c^2    You say this as "A squared plus b squared equals c squared"

To use this formula you must plug in the given values of a and b, to find c. A and b represent the two bases of the triangle, while c is the hypotenuse. In this equation we already have the value of c and a. We need to find b, but in order to do that we use a different formula. We use : c^2 - a^2 = b^2

See :

52^2 - 20^2 = b^2       *The ^2 means "to the power of" aka an exponent*

2704 - 400 = b^2     *When dealing with ^2, all you do is multiply the number by itself*

2304 = b^2      *Next, we find the square root of our current number.*

48 = b    

*Another way to solve this equation is to memorize all the Pythagorean Triples. With that knowledge, you wont even need to use the formula because you will already know all three values. I hope this helped you understand :)
