When flying from Florida to the Philippines island why does the shortest route pass through Alaska?

Mathematics

seraphim [82]4 years ago

Because the earth is round, the distance seen on a flat map is a lot further than the distance on a globe, because of distortion. So following the circle that goes through these 3 points ( Florida, Alaska and the Philippines) it is a shorter distance to fly over Alaska.

Janette has 386 pennies. 58 nickels and 19 dimes If Janette exchanges her coins for​ dollars, how many dollars will she have? Ho
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

$8 ; 66 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Worth of penny, dimes and Nickel in cents and dollars

Nickel, n = 5 cents = $0.05

Dimes, d = 10 cent = $0.1

Penny, p = 1 cent = $0.01

Multiplying the number of each coin with its respective value ;

386(0.01) + 58(0.05) + 19(0.1)

$3.86 + $2.9 + $1.9

= $8.66

Changing it to dollar ,

$8.66 dollars = 8 dollars ;

$0.66 = 66 cents

I cannot find the answer on my own, I need a lil' bit of help.
viktelen [127]

for any fraction a/b, the decimal format of it is just a ÷ b.

A)

is the number rational?

well, a rational number is one we can write as a ration or fraction, well clearly is a fraction so it is rational.


B)

can it be written as a repeating/recurring decimal?  well, 9/20 is 0.45, so -9/20 is -0.45, no repeating decimal like 0.454545......... , just a plain vanilla -0.45, so nope.


C)

is it less than -0.4?

well, let's recall that for the negative side on the number line, the closer to 0, the larger the number, so then -1,000,000 is much smaller than -1, because -1 is closer to 0.

who is closer -0.4 or -0.45?

|---------------------  -0.45  --------  -0.40  -------------------  0  ---------------  1  -------------------|

so, -0.45 is farther from 0, and therefore is smaller than -0.4, so yes.

I really need help and I have to show my work
Amanda [17]
10 lbs/$12= 1 lb/x dollars.
If you rewrite it up and down and not slanted, it would be clearer to understand, but anyways, you cross multiply:
12*1=12 
12/10= 1.2
So the answer is 1.2, if you put it on that bubble sheet, put 1, then a decimal, after the decimal 2, and then all 0's,.

In two or three sentences explain how you would solve for the real solutions of the following equation: please help asap!!
g100num [7]

the real solutions for the equation x^{3}=-64 are -

x=4,2+-2\sqrt{3i}

Step-by-step explanation:

   x^{3} = - 64

   x^{3} +64  = 0

   We can write 64 as  4^{3}

  x^{3} + 4^{3} = 0

  using the identity  ( x^{3}+y^{3} = (x+y)(x^{2} -xy+y^{2} ) )

we get,

  = (x+4) (x^{2} -x*4+4^{2} )

  = (x+4)(x^{2} -4x+16)    ....................(1)

 solving the quadratic equation  ,

   x^{2} -4x+16 =0

solutions of this quadratic equation can be obtained by

   x=-b +- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } /2a

let use y for factors

x=-(-4x)+-\sqrt{(-4x^{2} )-4*x^{2} *16}  / 2*x^{2}

x=4x+-\sqrt{16x^{2} -64x^{2} } /2x^{2}

x=4+-\sqrt{16-64}/2

x=4+-4\sqrt{3i} /2

<u />x=2+-2\sqrt{3i}    ..................(2)

from the equation 1 we have,

x-4=0

which gives solution x=4

and from equation 2 we got  x=2+-2\sqrt{3i}

so the real solutions for the equation x^{3}=-64 are -

x=4,2+-2\sqrt{3i}
