Answer:

        200 ft               200

t = -------------------- = ---------- min

      (S + T) ft/min      S + T

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that distance = (rate)(time).

The distance traveled by the turtle in t minutes is dt = (T ft/min)(t), and

the distance traveled by the snail in t minutes is ds = (S ft/min)(t).  We know that ds + dt must be 200 ft.

Thus,

(S ft/min)(t) + (T ft/min)(t) = 200 ft.

The variable t, representing elapsed time, is common to both terms on the left.  Thus,

        200 ft               200

t = -------------------- = ---------- min

      (S + T) ft/min      S + T

What is the function of delta sign in maths
gladu [14]
The uppercase delta Δ means "change in" so for example: Δx = difference between two x values.

The lowercase delta which Brainly does not have, looks like a squiggly lowercase d. It generally means "very small change in".

Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form 9/10 x 2/3
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

9/10 and 2/3 can cross cancel

3 goes into 9, 3 times

2 goes into 10, 5 times

they both go into themselves once

our new fractions are 3/5 and 1/1 which equals 3/5

The most recent census for a city indicated that there were 919,716 residents. The population of the city is expected to increas
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1,474,951.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a population that increases by a constant percentage, we can model the population's growth using the exponential model.

P(t)=P_o(1+r)^t,$ where \left\{\begin{array}{lll}P_o=$Initial Population\\r$=Growth rate\\$t=time (in years)\end{array}\right\\P_o=919,716\\r=3.7\%=0.037\\$t=13 years

Therefore, the population of the city in 13 years time will be:

P(t)=919,716(1+0.037)^{13}\\\\=919,716(1.037)^{13}\\\\=1,474,950.9\\\\\approx 1,474,951

The population be at that time will be approximately 1,474,951.

Please help me!!!!!!!
Helen [10]
First we will find the value of x.

To find the value of x we can add angle Q and angle O and set them equal to 180 and solve for x.

We will be setting them equal to 180 since the opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.

angle Q + angle O = 180
6x - 5 + x + 17 = 180
7x +12 = 180
7x = 168
x = 24

Now we can use 24 for x and find the value of angle QRO

angle QRO = 2x + 19
angle QRO = 2(24) + 19
angle QRO = 48 + 19
angle QRO = 67

So the answer choice B is the right answer.

Hope this helps :)<span />
