Answer: 20 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 540 feet

speed of the girl = 15ft/s

speed of the puppy = 12 ft/s

If we stand in the frame of reference where the girl is still, in this frame the speed of the puppy will be equal to the speed of the puppy in our previus frame plus the speed of the girl in the previous frame (because they are running in opposite directions)

S = 15 ft/s + 12ft/s = 27ft/s

Now we can use the equation:

time = distance/speed

T = 540ft/27ft/s = 20s

Answer:

20 secs

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 540 feet

speed of the girl = 15ft/s

speed of the puppy = 12 ft/s

If we stand in the frame of reference where the girl is still, in this frame the speed of the puppy will be equal to the speed of the puppy in our previus frame plus the speed of the girl in the previous frame (because they are running in opposite directions)

S = 15 ft/s + 12ft/s = 27ft/s

Now we can use the equation:

time = distance/speed

T = 540ft/27ft/s = 20s

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>      \frac{1}{2} ? \frac{1}{3}

<u>Want:</u>       Which fraction is larger?

\frac{1}{2} = 0.5

\frac{1}{3} = 0.33

where 0.5 is greater than 0.33

<u>Choices:</u>

> is greater than symbol

= is equal to

\frac{1}{2} > \frac{1}{3}

Please Help! In which of the following intervals does the trigonometric inequality sec(x)
timofeeve [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

sec(x) = 1/cos(x)

cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)

sec is smaller than cot, if cos is negative (making sec negative) and sin is negative (making cot positive).

and that is true for the third quadrant.

which is pi < x < 3×pi/2

so, the third answer is right.
