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

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.

The vertex of the functions graph is given. Find c. y=2x^2-6x+c;(3/2, 0.5)
d1i1m1o1n [39]
You would best do this by completing the square on the quadratic and subbing in the vertex they give you, like this:
2(x- \frac{3}{2})^{2} = \frac{18}{4}-c
Since the y coordinate of the vertex is 1/2 and we need to solve for c, set the \frac{18}{4}-c equal to 1/2 and solve for c, which is the whole point of what we are doing, right?
\frac{18}{4}-c= \frac{1}{2} and \frac{18}{4}- \frac{2}{4}=c
\frac{16}{4}=c and c = 4. So that's our answer!

George sold 18, 22, 26, 12, 25, 20, and 19 cars per month over the past seven months. He followed the steps below to determine t
Crazy boy [7]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: George made his first mistake in Step 1.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Getting a result of 26 cars needed means that he didn't take in consideration the next month in the mean calculation.

We have information of the number of sold cars of the first seven months, but if he wants to calculate the number of cards he needs to have a mean of 24 sold cards next months, he should take in consideration an extra month (the eighth month).

Checking the mistake:

\frac{18 + 22 + 26 +12 + 25 +20 + 19 + x }{7}=24

\frac{18 + 22 + 26 +12 + 25 +20 + 19 + x }{7}=24\\x=26

So, it proves that he made a mistake by multiplying it into 7 and instead into 8

The correct answer would be:

\frac{18 + 22 + 26 +12 + 25 +20 + 19 + x }{8}=24\\x=50

He needed to include the eighth month in order to calculate how many cars he should sell next months in order to have a mean of 24 cars.

Have a nice day!

How many positive integers less than 2018 are divisible by at least 3, 11, or 61?
Schach [20]
To find all the positive integers less than 2018 that are divisible by 3, 11, and 61, you will use what you know about factors.

3, 11, and 61 are all answers.  So are 33, 183, 671, and 2013.

If you put these in factors, the product will be divisible by them!

3 x 11 = 33
3 x 61 = 183
11 x 61 = 671
3 x 11 x 61 = 2013

Take each number and square it, cube it, etc...
9, 27, 81, 243, 729
121, 1331

9 x 11 = 99
27 x 11 = 297
81 x 11 = 891

121 x 9 =1089
121 x 3 =  363

61 x 9 = 549
61 x 27 = 1647

Everything in bold is a correct answer.
