A little while ago, a dolphin was swimming below sea level at -7 meters. Now the dolphin is jumping at 0.5 meters. What does thi

s mean?

This means that the dolphin ascended 7.5 meters in total.

The sea level is 0.

We know that to start off with, the dolphin was seven meters under the sea level.

We also know that the dolphin jumped .5 meters above the sea level.

This is a matter of absolute value; we are looking to find total distance, not actual height (which we already know, .5). Therefore, we ignore the negative sign and instead regard how many places each measurement is away from zero, which is another way of saying absolute value.

Take a look at x.

| x |

The lines surronding x represent absolute value. With that in mind, I can show you the process:

| -7 | + | .5 | = 7.5

is the same as saying 7 + .5 = 7.5

What is the diameter of the following?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

(x - 9)² + (y - 4)² = 36 ← is in standard form

with r² = 36 ⇒ r = \sqrt{36} = 6

diameter = 2 × r = 2 × 6 = 12

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equation form:  y = mx + b

(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

The rate of change for a line is the slope.

Function 1:  y = 6

⇒ the slope is zero so the rate of change is zero

Function 2:  y = 2x + 7

⇒ the slope is 2 so the rate of change is 2

Therefore, 2 - 0 = 2

So the rate of change of function 2 is 2 more than the rate of change of function 1

While traveling in a car, the centrifugal force a passenger experiences as the car drives in a circle varies jointly as the mass
rjkz [21]

Answer:

A- 129.6 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the centrifugal force on the passenger, F varies jointly as the mass of the passenger, m and the square of the speed of the car,v. In mathematical notation, F ∝ mv² ⇒ F = kmv².

If F₁ = 226.8 Newtons, m₁ = 70 kilograms and speed v₁ = 60 kilometers per hour. From F= kmv², k = F/mv² the proportionality constant. If F₂ is the force on the passenger of mass m₂ = 90 kilograms and speed of car ,v₂ = 40 kilometers per hour. Then,

k = \frac{F_{1} }{m_{1}v_{1} ^{2}  } = \frac{F_{2} }{m_{2}v_{2} ^{2}  }\\ F_{2} = F_{1} \frac{m_{2} }{m_{1} }(\frac{v_{2} }{v_{1} }) ^{2}    \\F_{2} =  226.8\frac{90 }{70 }(\frac{40 }{60 }) ^{2}\\F_{2} = 129.6 newtons
