On another map the distance between saugerties and kingston is 2 inches. Whar would tge distance from saugerties to catskill be
Mariana [72]

The question is incomplete. The map is attached as a photo and here is the complete question:

a. What is the actual distance between Saugerties and

Kingston? ___________________________

b. Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties. What would the

distance on the map be? ___________________________

c. On another map, the distance between Saugerties and

Kingston is 2 inches. What would the distance from Saugerties to

Catskill be on this map? __________________

Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:

Answer:

<u>The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be </u><u>3 inches</u><u> on this map.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is <u>1 inch = 2.5 miles.</u>

To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:

1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles

4 inches ------ x miles

Cross multiplying:

1x = 2.5 x 4

x = 10 miles

The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.

On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles

The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.

Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:

1 inch -------- 5 miles

y inch ------- 15 miles

Cross multiplying:

15 = 5y

y = 15/5

<u>y = 3 inches.</u>

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.

Identify the variation as direct, inverse, joint or combined. y = cx²
viva [34]

Answer:

combined variation          

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=cx^{2}

we know that

a)<u> in the interval </u>----> (0,∞)

If the value of x increase the value of y increase

so

Is a direct variation

b) <u>in the interval -</u>---> (-∞,0)

If the value of x increase the value of y decrease

so

Is a inverse variation

therefore

Is a combined variation

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square. x^2+14x+47=0. What is the form and solution?
Phoenix [80]
To complete a square for ax²+bx+c, you first make a=1.
in this case, a is already 1
move c to the right side: x²+14x=-47
next, add (1/2 of b)² to both sides, in this case, b=14, half of 14 is 7, so x²+14x+ 7²=-47+7²
the left side is now a perfect square: (x+7)²=2
x+7=√2 or x+7=-√2
x=√2-7, or x=-2-√7
