Answer:

5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds

using proportion

Find out how many minutes does it take him to run a 1.760 yards (one mile)

\frac{440}{75}=\frac{1,760}{x}\\\\x=1,760(75)/440\\\\x= 300\ sec

Convert seconds to  minutes

Divide by 60

300\ sec=300/60=5\  min

in 2009 a total of R36 000 was invested in two accounts. One account earned 7% annual interest and the other earned 9% .The tota
Akimi4 [234]

a = amount invested at 7%

b = amount invested at 9%

we know the amount invested was ₹36000, thus we know that whatever "a" and "b" are, a + b = 36000.  We can also say that

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{7\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{7}{100} \right)a}\implies 0.07a~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{9\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{7}{100} \right)b}\implies 0.09b

since we know the interest earned from the invested was ₹2920, then we say that 0.07a + 0.09b = 2920.

\begin{cases} a + b = 36000\\\\ 0.07a+0.09b=2920 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using the 1st equation}}{a + b = 36000\implies \underline{b = 36000-a}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{0.07a~~ + ~~0.09(\underline{36000-a})~~ = ~~2920} \\\\\\ 0.07a+3240-0.09a=2920\implies 3240-0.02a=2920\implies -0.02a=-320 \\\\\\ a=\cfrac{-320}{-0.02}\implies \boxed{a=16000}~\hfill \boxed{\stackrel{36000~~ - ~~16000}{20000=b}}

If the end points of the diameter of a circle are (9,4) and (5,2) what is the standard form equation of the circle
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The center (h , k) is the midpoint of two end points of diameter

h = (9 + 5) / 2 = 7

k = (4 + 2) / 2 = 3

Equation of circle: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

r = (√(9 - 5)² + (4 - 2)²) / 2 = √5

Equation: (x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = 5

A crane is lowering a concrete block from a height of 270 feet above the ground at a constant rate of 2.5 feet per second. Which
iogann1982 [59]

The function would be h = 270 - 2.5s, where h is the height (in feet) and s it the time (in seconds) that has passed.

The 270 represents the initial value, which is given. We are told that the initial height of the block is 270 feet.

2.5s represents the feet that it has descended. We know the block is lowered at a rate of 2.5 feet per second. Multiplying this by s, the time, will give us how much it has descended.
