Answer:

d(t)=\sqrt{(300+30t)^2+(60t)^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represents the time in hours,

We know that,

Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}

\implies Distance = Speed\times time

Since, the speed of truck = 30 miles per hour,

So, the distance covered by the truck in t hours = 30t miles,

Similarly,

Speed of car = 60 miles per hour,

So, the distance covered by car in t hours = 60t miles,

∵ Truck is 300 miles east of the car initially,

Thus, the distance of the truck from the starting point = 30t + 300,

While the distance of the car from the starting point = 60 t,

Now, these two vehicles are going in the directions which are at right angled ( car is going north and truck is going west )

Using the Pythagoras theorem,

Distance between them after t hours,

d(t)=\sqrt{(300+30t)^2+(60t)^2}

Which is the required function.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The steps to do this :

c = 5(y - 8)

c = 5y - 40

c + 40 = 5y

y =  \frac{c + 40}{5}

Multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number is called; what?
tamaranim1 [39]
I believe this is called scaling. This is the word that I am associating with your definition, as well as what many internet sources say. I am not 100% sure, but I think this is correct. Hope this helps.

Answer:

The volume of cone = Maximum holding of glass = 60 cube cm(cm^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cone formula:

v =  \frac{1}{3}  \pi \: r {}^{2} h

The radius is 3cm and Volume is 60cm^3.

if pi =~ 3 So the "h" is 6.66 cm.

"h" is distance from cone's head to its base.

The "H"( height of glass) = 6.66 + 7 = 13.6 =~ 14

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{1-\sqrt{2}}\\\\=\frac{1*(1+\sqrt{2})}{(1-\sqrt{2})(1+\sqrt{2})}\\\\=\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{1^{2}-(\sqrt{2})}\\\\=\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{1-2}\\\\=\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{-1}\\\\= -[1+\sqrt{2}]\\\\x-\frac{1}{x}=1-\sqrt{2}-(-[1+\sqrt{2}])\\\\=1-\sqrt{2}+1+\sqrt{2}\\\\=2
