Answer:

Yards from its starting point is 13200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A bird traveled 4 miles north before stopping to rest. The bird then flew 2,640 yards south in search of food. Finally, it flew 5 more miles north.

To find : How many yards was it from its starting point?

Solution :

We know, In general 1 mile = 1760 yards

A bird traveled 4 miles north before stopping to rest.

$4\text{ miles }4 \times 1760 = 7040\text{ yards}$

It flew 5 more miles north.

$5\text{ miles }5 \times 1760 = 8800\text{ yards}$

Total bird flew is $7040+8800=15840 \text{ yards}$

The bird then flew 2,640 yards south in search of food.

Yards from its starting point is

$15840-2640 = 13200 \text{ yards}$

How do you find inverses

MrMuchimi

How To Find Inverses:

1. First, replace f(x) with y . ...

2. Replace every x with a y and replace every y with an x .

3. Solve the equation from Step 2 for y . ...

4. Replace y with f−1(x) f − 1 ( x ) . ...

5. Verify your work by checking that (f∘f−1)(x)=x ( f ∘ f − 1 ) ( x ) = x and (f−1∘f)(x)=x ( f − 1 ∘ f ) ( x ) = x are both true.

The surface area of a cylinder is increasing at a rate of 9 pi square meters per hour. The height of the cylinder is fixed at 3

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

$9\pi \text{ cubic meters per hour}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the surface area of a cylinder,

$A= 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$ ................(1)

Where,

r = radius,

h = height,

If $A= 36\pi\text{ square meters}, h = 3\text{ meters}$

$36\pi = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r(3)$

$18 = r^2 + 3r$

$\implies r^2 + 3r - 18=0$

$r^2 + 6r - 3r - 18 = 0$ ( by middle term splitting )

$r(r+6)-3(r+6)=0$

$(r-3)(r+6)=0$

By zero product property,

r = 3 or r = - 6 ( not possible )

Thus, radius, r = 3 meters,

Now, differentiating equation (1) with respect to t ( time ),

$\frac{dA}{dt}= 4\pi r\frac{dr}{dt} +2\pi(r\frac{dh}{dt} + h\frac{dr}{dt})$

∵ h = constant, ⇒ dh/dt = 0,

$\frac{dA}{dt} = 4\pi r \frac{dr}{dt} +2\pi h \frac{dr}{dt}$

We have, $\frac{dA}{dt}=9\pi\text{ square meters per hour}, r = h = 3\text{ meters}$

$9\pi = 4\pi (3) \frac{dr}{dt}+2\pi (3)\frac{dr}{dt}$

$9\pi = (12\pi + 6\pi )\frac{dr}{dt}$

$9\pi = 18\pi \frac{dr}{dt}$

$\implies \frac{dr}{dt} =\frac{1}{2}\text{ meter per hour}$

Now,

Volume of a cylinder,

$V=\pi r^2 h$

Differentiating w. r. t. t,

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\pi ( r^2 \frac{dh}{dt}+h(2r)\frac{dr}{dt})=\pi ((3)(6) (\frac{1}{2})) = 9\pi \text{ cubic meters per hour}$

Andre is solving the inequality 14x+3 is less than or equal to 8x+3.he first solves a related equation

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

14x+3=8x+3

14x+3 -3 = 8x+3 -3

Cancels out the 3

14x = 8x

14x - 8x = 8x -8x

Cancels out the 8x

14x = 0

x = 0
