After 3/4 of a minute a sloth has moved just 3/8 of a foot. what is the sloth's speed in feet per minute
Delicious77 [7]
Hello! 

So 4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4 (a quarter). So we have to find a quarter of 3/8 and add it to 3/8. First of all, we have to convert 1/4 to a percentage. The answer is 25%. 3/8 as a decimal is 0.375. 25% of 0.375 = (0.25 x 0.375 =) 0.09375. 
0.09375 + 0.375 = 0.46875. 
Now, we have to convert 0.46875 back into a fraction. 

So the answer is 5/64.

Have a great day! :)

Find all polar coordinates of point P = (6, 31°). Im really struggling with this problem and I can't seem to find a consistent a
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

1. (6, -329°) (-6, 211°) (-6, -149°)  

2. (5, -5π/3) (-5, 4π/3) (-5,-2π/3)

Notice: (+,+),(+,-),(-,+),(-,-).

If we consider angles beyond 360° or 2π, many other names for these points can be determined.

The polar coordinate can be written as (r, θ) = (r, θ + 2nπ) or (r, θ) = [ - r, θ + (2n + 1)π ], where n is any integer
