<h3>3 answers: Choice A, Choice C, Choice D</h3>

Basically, everything but choice B

===========================================

Explanation:

Lets go through the answer choices to see which are true or false.

For each, we'll be considering the graph of y = 1/x as shown below.

A. True. We have two branches that are completely separate and never meet up, and those two branches are in quadrants Q1 and Q3. Both curves are always decreasing (going downhill as you move from left to right). This is because if x is positive, then so is y = 1/x. If x is negative, then so is y = 1/x. Any point (x,y) is either composed of two positive coordinates or two negative coordinates.
B. False. A parabola is one single curve and we have two separate curves here.
C. True. A hyperbola is composed of two curves as the graph of y = 1/x shows.
D. True. The graph shows y = 1/x does not go through the origin. This is because we cannot have x = 0 in y = 1/x, or otherwise we have a division by zero error. A similar situation happens with y = 0 as well.

For what value of a is the volume of the tetrahedron formed by the coordinate planes and the plane (x/a) (y/10) (z/6)

kotykmax [81]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

For what value of a is the volume of the tetrahedron formed by the coordinate planes and the plane (x/a) + (y/10) + (z/6) = 1 equal to 10?

Answer: the value of a is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Volume of tetrahedron bounded by plane (x/a) + (y/10) + (z/6) = 1

and coordinate plane is; V = 1/6|abc|

(x/a) + (y/10) + (z/6) = 1

volume = 10

10 = 1/6 | a × 10 × 6 |

60 = a × 10 × 6

60 = 60a

a = 60 / 60

a = 1

Therefore the value of a is 1

A ship leaves port at noon and has a bearing of S29oW. The ship sails at 20 knots. How many nautical miles south and how many na

ira [324]

Answer:

Approximately $58.2\; \text{nautical miles}$ (assuming that the bearing is ${\rm S$29^{\circ}$W}$ .)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $v$ denote the speed of the ship, and let $t$ denote the duration of the trip. The magnitude of the displacement of this ship would be $v\, t$ .

Refer to the diagram attached. The direction ${\rm S$29^{\circ}$W}$ means $29^{\circ}$ west of south. Thus, start with the south direction and turn towards west (clockwise) by $29^{\circ}$ to find the direction of the displacement of the ship.

The hypothenuse of the right triangle in this diagram represents the displacement of the ship, with a length of $v\, t$ . The dashed horizontal line segment represents the distance that the ship has travelled to the west (which this question is asking for.) The angle opposite to that line segment is exactly $29^{\circ}$ .

Since the hypotenuse is of length $v\, t$ , the dashed line segment opposite to the $\theta = 29^{\circ}$ vertex would have a length of:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{opposite (to $\theta$)} \\ =\; & \text{hypotenuse} \times \frac{\text{opposite (to $\theta$)}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \\ =\; & \text{hypotenuse} \times \sin (\theta) \\ =\; & v\, t \, \sin(\theta) \\ =\; & v\, t\, \sin(29^{\circ})\end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in $\begin{aligned} v &= 20\; \frac{\text{nautical mile}}{\text{hour}}\end{aligned}$ and $t = 6\; \text{hour}$ :

$\begin{aligned} & v\, t\, \sin(29^{\circ}) \\ =\; & 20\; \frac{\text{nautical mile}}{\text{hour}} \times 6\; \text{hour} \times \sin(29^{\circ}) \\ \approx\; & 58.2\; \text{nautical mile}\end{aligned}$ .

Answer: The ice sheet's thickness decrease every 6 weeks= 1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven: At the beginning of spring, the ice starts to melt. The variable sss models the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) t weeks after the beginning of spring. $s=-0.25t+4$
