Answer:

300 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the general formula of d = rt, where d = distance, r = rate and t = time, we can solve for the missing variable (r, or speed). Given Tara's distance of 1600 m and her total time of 5 minutes and 20 seconds, first convert her time into just minutes:

5 $\frac{20}{60}=\frac{1}{3}$

5 $\frac{1}{3}=\frac{16}{3}$

1600 = r(16/3)

Multiply both sides by reciprocal of 16/3: 3/16(1600) = r(16/3)(3/16)

Solve for 'r': 300 meters per minute

X+3y=5<br> -2x-6y=-10<br><br> Solve using elimination

RSB [31]

Slimination
multiply first equaiton by 2
2x+6y=10
add to second equiaotn
2x-2x+6y-6y=10-10
0=0
this is true so therfor they are the same equaiton

so solve
x+3y=5
3y=-x+5
y=-1/3x+5/3

subsituter values for x and get valuse for y

if x=2 then y=1

A solid cylinder has a radius of 4.9 cm and a height of 3.5 cm. Work out the total surface area of the cylinder. Give your answe

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

252 cm²

Step-by-step Explanation:

=>Given:

r = 4.9 cm, and h = 3.3 cm of a solid cylinder, π = 3.14

=> Required:

Total Surface Area (T.S.A) = 2πrh + 2πr²

T.S.A = 2*3.14*4.9*3.3 + 2*3.14*4.9²

= 101.5476 + 150.7828

= 252.3304

= 252 cm² (approximated)

Write an equation for a parabola in which the set of all points in the plane are equidistant from the focus and line F(-6,0); x=

Bogdan [553]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a vertical directrix, the equation of the parabola is

$(y - k) {}^{2} = 4p(x - h)$

Where p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix.

or the distance from the vertex to the focus.

Since we have a sideways parabola, let use the point for the directrix is (-6,0). So let find the midpoint of (-6,0) and (6,0). That would be our vertex.

$\frac{ - 6 + 6)}{2} = 0$
