Answer:

$23.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

We are told that the unit cost per pound is $5.89

Required

the cost of 4 pounds

If 1 pound cost $5.89

4 pounds cost x

cross multiply

x= 4*5.89

x=$23.56

Given the line y = − 2 5 x + 3, determine if the given line is parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Select the correct answer fo

Answer:

(a) Neither

(a) Perpemdicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine the relationship between given lines

(a)

$y = -\frac{2}{5}x + 3$

and

$y = \frac{2}{5}x + 7$

An equation written in form: $y=mx + b$ has the slope:

$m \to slope$

So, in both equations:

$m_1 = -\frac{2}{5}$

$m_2 = \frac{2}{5}$

For both lines to be parallel

$m_1 = m_2$

This is false in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} \ne \frac{2}{5}$

For both lines to be perpendicular

$m_1 * m_2 = -1$

This is false in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} * \frac{2}{5} \ne -1$

(b)

$5y + 2x = -10$

and

$-5x + 2y = 4$

Write equations in form: $y=mx + b$

$5y + 2x = -10$

$5y = -2x +10$

Divide by 5

$y = -\frac{2}{5}x +2$

$-5x + 2y = 4$

$2y = 5x + 4$

Divide by 2

$y = \frac{5}{2}x + 2$

In both equations:

$m_1 = -\frac{2}{5}$

$m_2 = \frac{5}{2}$

For both lines to be parallel

$m_1 = m_2$

This is false in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} \ne \frac{5}{2}$

For both lines to be perpendicular

$m_1 * m_2 = -1$

This is true in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} * \frac{5}{2} = -1$

Cancel out 2 and 5

$-1 = -1$

Stanley ran a 5 kilometer race in 30 minutes. what was his speed in kilometers per hour? round to the nearest tenth

lesantik [10]

If he runs 5 kilometers in 30 minutes, at that rate he would run 10 kilometers in an hour.
so 10 kilometers per hour is his speed

A = 1 4 π d 2 what is the formula to calculate the diameter of a circle

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

$D=2\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the circle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{4}\pi D^{2}$

where

D is the diameter of the circle

Solve for D

That means-----> Isolate the variable D

Multiply both sides by 4 to remove the fraction

$4A=\pi D^{2}$

Divide both sides by π

$\frac{4A}{\pi}=D^2$

square root both sides

$\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}}=D$

Rewrite

$D=\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}}$

Simplify

$D=2\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}$
