Answer:

15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the motorcycle goes at a speed of 40 km/hr.

The question asks for how long it would take to travel 10 km.

Well, there are 60 minutes in an hour, since we will be translating into minutes.

Also, 10 km is 1/4 of 40 km, so it would make sense that the time length would be 1/4 of an hour as well.

1/4 of 60 minutes is 15 minutes. So it takes 15 minutes for the motorcycle to travel 10 km.

Now, if all this wordy stuff is too much to comprehend, you can also solve using proportional relationships.

$\frac{40km}{60min}=\frac{10km}{xmin}$

Now cross multiply:

$40km*xmin=10km*60min\\40x=600$

Divide both sides by 40:

$\frac{40x}{40}=\frac{600}{40}\\x=15$

Again, this shows that it wouls take 15 minutes for the motorcycle to travel 10 km.

Simplify. √20 * √3 * √18 5√10 6√10 5√30 6√30

natulia [17]

Answer:

D: 6√30

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

sqrt(20) sqrt(3) sqrt(18)

sqrt(18) = sqrt(2×3^2) = 3 sqrt(2):

sqrt(20) sqrt(3)×3 sqrt(2)

sqrt(20) = sqrt(2^2×5) = 2 sqrt(5):

2 sqrt(5) sqrt(3)×3 sqrt(2)

2×3 = 6:

6 sqrt(5) sqrt(3) sqrt(2)

sqrt(5) sqrt(3) sqrt(2) = sqrt(5×3×2):

6 sqrt(5×3×2)

5×3 = 15:

6 sqrt(15×2)

15×2 = 30:

Answer: 6 sqrt(30)

Question: 3 of 20

zysi [14]

Answer:

Sean earns $7.5 in each hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Money earned by Sean = $300

Number of hours worked in a day = 8 hrs

Number of days of work in a week = 5

We need to find Money earned in each hour.

First we will find Total hours work in a week.

Total hours work in a week is equal to Number of hours worked in a day multiplied by number of days work in a week.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total hours worked in a week = $8\times5 = 40\ hrs$

Now we will find money earned for each hour.

Money earned each hour will be calculated by Dividing Total Money earned in a week by Total number of hours worked in a week.

Framing in equation form we get;

Money earned each hour = $\frac{300}{40} = \$7.5$

Hence Sean earns $7.5 in each hour.

Which equation represents an exponential function that passes through the point (2, 36)?

sesenic [268]

Answer:

The exponential function that passes through (2,36) is:

$f(x)=4\times 3^x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find which function passes through the point (2,36).

i.e. we will put the input value '2' in the following given functions and check which gives the output value as '36'.

$f(x)=4\times 3^x$

now we put x=2.

$f(2)=4\times 3^2\\\\f(2)=4\times 9\\\\f(2)=36$

hence option 1 is correct.

$f(x)=4\times x^3$

Now we put x=2.

$f(2)=4\times 2^3\\\\f(2)=4\times 8\\\\f(2)=32$

Hence, option 2 is incorrect.

$f(x)=6\times 3^x$

Now we put x=2

$f(2)=6\times 3^2\\\\f(2)=6\times 9\\\\f(x)=54$

Hence, option 3 is incorrect.

$f(x)=6\times x^3$

Now we put x=2.

$f(2)=6\times 2^3\\\\f(2)=6\times 8\\\\f(2)=48$

Hence, option 4 is incorrect.

Hence, option 1) is correct.

i.e. The exponential function that passes through (2,36) is:

$f(x)=4\times 3^x$
