Answer: the speed of the elevator is 4.6 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, The elevator in the Washington Monument takes 75 seconds to travel 506 feet to the top floor.

Since 1 hour = 3600 seconds

⇒ 1 second = \dfrac{1}{3600} hour

⇒ 75 seconds = \dfrac{75}{3600} hour =\dfrac{1}{48} hour

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 feet = \dfrac{1}{5280} mile

506 feet = \dfrac{506}{5280} miles =\dfrac{23}{240} miles

Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}

=\dfrac{\dfrac{23}{240}}{\dfrac{1}{48}}\\\\=\dfrac{23\times48}{240}\\\\=\dfrac{23}{5}\\\\=4.6\text{ miles per hour}

Hence, the speed of the elevator is 4.6 miles per hour.

Answer:

x = 1.56  or x = -2.56

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation;

x2 +x − 4 = 0

a = 1 , b = 1, and c = -4

x = (-b ± √(b² -4ac))/2a

  = (-1 ± √(1²- 4×1×-4))/2

  = ( -1 ± √(17)/2

  = (-1 ± 4.12)/2

  = (-1 + 4.12)/2 or (-1 - 4.12)/2

  <u>x = 1.56  or x = -2.56</u>

Answer: A 65
Explanation: using PEMDAS you substitute 4 in for k and add 9+4 because it’s in parenthesis. Then you multiply the 13 you get from that by 5 and get 65.
