This is the concept of linear proportionality, we are required to calculate the actual length between two buildings which have a distance of 1.7 cm when drawn to scale of 1 cm: 2.5 km. This can be calculated as follows;
actual distance= (distance on the map)*(scale factor)
actual distance=1.7*2.5=4.25 km

The answer is 4.25 km

F (x) = -4x² + 10x + 13
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

f(7) = -113

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Substitute 7 for x in the equation.

<h3>Evaluate</h3>
  • f(x) = -4x² + 10x + 13
  • f(7) = -4(7)² + 10(7) + 13
  • f(7) = -4(49) + 70 + 13
  • f(7) = -196 + 70 + 13
  • f(7) = -113

f(7) is -113.

Which statement does NOT correctly compare silicon with another element? A) Silicon is a better conductor of electricity than su
Vesna [10]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Silicon is a member of Group 14 (IVA) in the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to one another. Silicon is also part of the the carbon family. Other carbon family elements include carbon, germanium, tin, and lead. Silicon is a metalloid, one of only a very few elements that have characteristics of both metals and non-metals.

Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, exceeded only by oxygen. Many rocks and minerals contain silicon. Examples include sand, quartz, clays, flint, amethyst, opal, mica, feldspar, garnet, tourmaline, asbestos, talc, zircon, emerald, and aquamarine. Silicon never occurs as a free element. It is always combined with one or more other elements as a compound.By the early 1800s, silicon was recognized as an element. But chemists had serious problems preparing pure silicon because it bonds (attaches) tightly to oxygen. It took chemists many years to find out how to separate silicon from oxygen. That task was finally accomplished in 1823 by Swedish chemist Jons Jakob Berzelius (1779-1848).

Silicon's most important application is in electronic equipment. Silicon is one of the best materials from which to make transistors and computer chips. The total weight of silicon used for this purpose is relatively small. Much larger amounts are used, for example, to make metal alloys. An alloy is made by melting and mixing two or more metals. The mixture has properties different from those of the individual metals.

Celinda thought of 89.5 in parts, 80 + 9 + 0.5, and divided each part: 80 ÷ 10 = 8; 9 ÷ 10 = or 0.9; 0.5 ÷ 10 = 0.05. Then she a
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Dividing each part into 10 and then summing the results up, is equivalent to dividing 89.5 into 10.  

Step-by-step explanation:

This example refers to the Distributive Property of the division, which is valid when the dividend is decomposed.

A simple example could be: 400 ÷ 10 = (200 ÷ 10) + (200 ÷ 10)

In the exposed example we know that 89.5 = 80 + 9 + 0.5.

  • <u>Option 1</u>

(80/10) + (9/10) + (0.5/10) =

8 + 0.9 + 0.05=

8.95

  • <u>Option 2</u>

89.5/10 = 8.95
