Answer:

Length of the canal on the map is 16.4 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If actual length of Panama Canal = 20 kilometers

and length of the canal on map = 4 centimeters

Then scale factor = \frac{\text{Length of canal on map}}{\text{Actual length of canal}}

= \frac{4}{20}

= \frac{1}{5}

If the actual length of Panama Canal = 82 kilometers

Then the length of canal on the map = Actual length × Scale factor

= 82\times \frac{1}{5}

= 16.4 centimeters

Therefore, length of the canal on the map is 16.4 centimeters.

Solve the equation 2x^2-3x-6=0 give your answer correct to two decimal places
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

<h2>x = - 1.14 or x = 2.64</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 3x - 6 = 0

Using the quadratic formula

x =  \frac{ - b± \sqrt{ {b}^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}

a = 2 , b = - 3 , c = 6

Substituting the values into the above formula

We have

x =  \frac{ -  - 3± \sqrt{ { - 3}^{2}  - 4(2)( - 6)} }{2(2)}

x =  \frac{3± \sqrt{9 +48 } }{4}

x =  \frac{3± \sqrt{57} }{4}

x =  \frac{3 -  \sqrt{57} }{4}  \:  \:  \:  \: or \:  \:  \:  \:  \: x =  \frac{3 +  \sqrt{57} }{4}

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = - 1.14 or x = 2.64</h3>

Hope this helps you

Madison made the following table to record the height of each person in her family.
alexira [117]
By taking the height of the dad and mom 6²3/8 minus 5²5/8
We can separate the 6² and 5², which will give us 1² then look at the 3/8 minus the 5/8, this equals 2/8, which is 1/4. So the difference is 1²1/4

state whether the following statement is true or false: y= -x2 + 6x - 10 does not intersect the x-axis.​
oee [108]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to check if the given equation does not intersect the x-axis

if it does not, then it has no real root

If the discriminant is less than zero, then it has no real roots and does not intersect the x-axis

The formula for the discriminant is;

D = b^2-4ac

In the question;

a = -1 , b = 6 , c = 10

so;

D = 6^2-4(-1)(10)

D = 36-40

D = -4

Since discriminant is less than zero, then there is no real root and the graph does not cross the x-axis
