Answer:

Time in the air  t₁  =  7 s

Time in the sea t₂ =  5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the equation:   v =  d/t , where:

v is the average speed,

d the distance traveled, and

t time doing the trip

From v = d/t    ⇒  d = v*t

Therefore, if we call t₁ time in the air, and t₂ time in the sea, according to problem statement, we have:

t₁  +  t₂  = 12        (1)

16*t₁  +  3*t₂  = 127    (2)

A two equation system, from equation (1) we get

t₂  = 12 - t₁

And by substitution in equaton (2)

16*t₁  + 3 * ( 12 - t₁ ) = 127

16*t₁  + 36 - 3*t₁  = 127

13*t₁   = 91

t₁  = 91 /13

t₁ = 7 s

And    t₂  = 12 - 7

t₂ = 5 s

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of employees exceeded their sales quota = 17

Number of employees met their sales quota = 13

Number of employees didn't exceed their sales quota = 3

Now, we need to find the ratio of the number employees who exceeded their sales quota to the number of employees who didn't exceed their sales quota,

17:13 + 3\\=17:16

So, Option 'A' is correct.

Which statement best describes the function below?
harina [27]

Answer:

  • D. It is a many-to-one function

Step-by-step explanation:

  • One-t<em>o-one if every y value has exactly one x value mapped onto it</em>
  • <em>Many-to-one if there are y values that have more than one x value mapped onto them.</em>

We have a function that is of degree 3, so it has 3 x-intercepts which means there are points (x₁, 0), (x₂, 0), (x₃, 0), so it is a many-to-one function

Correct option is D
