Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken to reach 12,000 feet = x

Distance traveled in 1 minute = 2000 ft

Distance traveled in 'x' minute = 2000 * x = 2000x

30,000 - 2000x = 12000

Add 2000x to both sides

30,000 = 12000 + 2000x

Now subtract 12,000 from both sides

30000 - 12 000 = 2000x

2000x =  18 000

Divide both sides  by 2000

x = 18000/2000

x = 9 minutes

3 x 10^8/3.4 x 10^2 solved
storchak [24]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

3 × 10⁸ ÷ 3.4 × 10²

(3 × 100000000) ÷ (3.4 × 100)

300000000 ÷ 340

882352.94117

Round to the nearest hundredth

882352.94117 ≈ 882352.94

Round to the nearest tenth

882352.94117 ≈ 882352.9

Round to the nearest whole number

882352.94117 ≈ 882353

Part 2
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. 236.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Population density can be found by dividing the number of people by the area of the land.

number of people / land area

The population is 20,510 people and the area is 86.8 square miles.

20,510 people / 86.8 square miles

Divide 20,510 by 86.8

236.290323 people /square mile

Round to the nearest tenth. The 9 in the hundredth place tell us to round the 2 to a 3 in the tenth place.

236.3 people/ square mile

There are 236.3 people per square mile and B is correct.

Perpendicular to y=2x+9 and has the point (4,-1)
Wewaii [24]

Answer: y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

      First, we will find the slope. The slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

      In this case, the first slope is 2. The negative of 2 is -2, and the reciprocal of -2 is -\frac{1}{2}.

      Now, we will plug in this new slope, the point given, and solve for the <em>b</em>, or the y-intercept.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

(-1) =  (-\frac{1}{2})(4) + <em>b</em>

-1 =  -2 + <em>b</em>

1 = <em>b</em>

     Lastly, we will write our equation.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

          The line is y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1, or y = 1 - \frac{x}{2}.
