Answer:

A)

62/3 = 20.67 hours

B)

60.00 hours

C)

2074.29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the earth is a perfect circle, then in a complete rotation the earth covers 360 degrees or 2π radians.

A)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 360 degrees. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 310 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 310 degrees, then the following proportions hold;

(24/360) = (x/310)

solving for x;

x = (24/360) * 310 = 62/3 = 20.67 hours

B)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 5π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 5π radians, then the following proportions hold;

(24/2π radians) = (x/5π radians)

Solving for x;

x = (24/2π radians)*5π radians = 60 hours

C)

If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle we have;

circumference = 2*π*R = π*D

                         = 7920π miles

Therefore, the speed of the earth is approximately;

(7920π miles)/(24 hours) = 330π miles/hr

The distance covered by a point in 2 hours will thus be;

330π * 2 = 660π miles = 2074.29 miles

Steven conjectures that for |x|>5, it is true that x^3>125. Is his conjecture correct? Why or why not?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

it is correct because, since x>5, anything relating x and 5 together will always put x greater than 5.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
Degger [83]

Answer:

38 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

this is an isosceles triangle, meaning that the base angles are congruent.

the total triangle is equal to 180

so the equation would be: x=180 - (71+71)

evaluate:

x=180-142

x=38 degrees

Hope this helps :)

Choose the graph that represents the following system of inequalities: y ≤ −3x + 1 y ≤ 1 over 2x + 3 In each graph, the area for
Vanyuwa [196]

The graph that represents the inequality has been shown in the attachment.

<h3>How to solve for the graph</h3>

We have these equations

y ≤ −3x + 1

y ≤ x + 3

We remove the inequality sign from both of these equations

y = −3x + 1

y = x + 3

−3x + 1  = x + 3

such that

x = -0.5

we use this value for x in any of the equations

x + 3 = -0.5 + 3

= 2.5

the point of intersection is at 2.5, -0.5

we test for the origin. 0,0

3x + 1

= 3*0 + 1

= 1

for  x + 3

0+3 = 3

This is 0≤1 and 0≤3

Hence the graph should be shaded to the origin.
