Answer:

1800 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May = 75

It is given that miles driven in July is 6 times of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May(75 miles).

Thus

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July = 6 * No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May = 6*75 = 450 miles.

__________________________________________________

Another condition given that miles driven in June is 4 times of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July(450miles as calculated above).

Thus

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in June = 4 * No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July = 4* 450 miles = 1800 miles.

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in June is 1800 miles.

Arrange the digits 4, 6, 9, 2, 3 in the dividend and the digits 2, 5,2 in the divisor to give the greatest possible quotient.

Leviafan [203]

To get the greatest possible quotient, you need the biggest possible
dividend and the smallest possible divisor.

96,432 divided by 225 = 428.5666... <== greatest possible

23,469 divided by 522 = 44.9597... <== smallest possible

Consider the function f ( x ) = − 2 x 3 + 27 x 2 − 108 x + 9 . For this function there are three important open intervals: ( − [

Darya [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Increasing and Decreasing Intervals of Functions</u>

Given f(x) as a real function and f'(x) its first derivative.

If f'(a)>0 the function is increasing in x=a

If f'(a)<0 the function is decreasing in x=a

If f'(a)=0 the function has a critical point in x=a

As we can see, the critical points may define open intervals where the function has different behaviors.

We have

$f ( x ) = - 2 x^3 + 27 x^2 - 108 x + 9$

Computing the first derivative:

$f' ( x ) = - 6 x^3 + 54 x - 108$

We find the critical points equating f'(x) to zero

$- 6 x^3 + 54 x - 108=0$

Simplifying by -6

$x^2 -9 x +18=0$

We get the critical points

$x=3,\ x=6$

They define the following intervals

$(-\infty,3),\ (3,6),\ (6,+\infty)$

Thus A=3 and B=6

Why can you use Linear Pairs and Vertical Angles to prove lines are parallel?

natta225 [31]

Answer:

The reason why linear pairs and vertical angles are used to prove lines are parallel is because they area transversal drawn through the parallel lines will form angles on each of the two parallel lines including;

1) Supplementary linear pairs and

2) Vertical angles

3) Alternate angles

Given that either;

a) The corresponding angles that form the linear pairs are congruent

b) The corresponding vertically opposite angles are congruent

c) The corresponding alternate angles are congruent, we have;

The two lines are said to be parallel.
