if the minute hand is 8 inches long, it shows the radius of the circle of the clock.

thus, the circumference of the circle (boundary)= 2πr

= 2X 3.14 X 8 ( wherein, r= radius= 8; π= 22/7 or 3.14)

= 50.27 inches.

The length between each two consecutive no.s on the clock = 50.27/12 = 4.19

Thus, the length moved n=by the tip of the minute hand= 4.19X8

= 33.44 inches

Hope that this would be correct .

The minute hand is like an eight inch radius of a circle, whose circumference would equal 2 * PI * 8 = 50.265 inches. By moving to 8 o'clock, it travels 2/3 of the circumference or 50.265 * 2/3 = 33.510 inches

Answer:

The Earth's orbit makes a circle around the sun. At the same time the earth orbits around the sun, it also spins. In science, we cal that rotating on its axis. Since the earth orbits the sun AND rotates on its axis at the same time we experience seasons, day and night, and changing shadows throughout the day.

Which will have a higher effective interest rate — a payday loan for $1900 that is due in 14 days with a fee of $80, or a payday

Pie

Answer:

It's D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shorter period loan has the same total interest for the same loan amount, so it has the higher effective interest rate: 80/12 is higher than 89/14.

Solve x2 + 14x + 17 = –96 for x

jarptica [38.1K]

For this case we have to:

Given the quadratic equation of the form:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0$

The roots are given by:

$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}$

If we have: $x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 = -96$

We can rewrite it in the following way:

$x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 + 96 = 0\\x ^ 2 + 14x + 113 = 0$

Where:

$a = 1\\b = 14\\c = 113$

Where we have:

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(14) ^ 2-4 (1) (113)}} {2 (1)}$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(196-452)}} {2}$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {-256}} {2}$

By definition: $\sqrt {-1} = i$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {256} i} {2}$

$x = \frac {-14 \pm16i} {2}$

$x = \frac {-14} {2} \pm \frac {16i} {2}$

$x = -7 \pm8i$

Thus, the roots are given by imaginary numbers:

$x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i$

Answer:

$x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i$

oops i just did :)

Point-slope form is y - y_1 = m (x - x_1) where x_1 and y_1 are the given coordinates and m is the slope. When you plug the given values into the equation you get y - 3 = 6 (x - 8) .
