Rona was driving on an asphalt road that had a 35 mile per hour speed limit posted. A lrr r deer jumped out from the side of the

road causing Rona to slam on her brakes. Her tires left three skid marks of lengths 70 ft., 72ft., and71ft. The road had a drag factor of .78. Her brakes were operating at 95% efficiency. The police gave Rona a ticket for speeding. Rona insisted that she was driving under the speed limit. Who was correct (the police or Rona)

Answer:

The answer is "The cops were correct because the average speed would have been about 39.73 miles per hour as per the calculations."

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the average skid distance:

Average=\frac{70+71+72}{3}=\frac{213}{3}=71

Calculating the skid:  

S=\sqrt{30 \times D \times f\times n}\\\\  

   =\sqrt{30 \times 71 \times 0.78\times 0.95}\\\\=\sqrt{1,578.33}\\\\=39.73

The coordinate plane below represents a city. Points A through F are schools in the city.
Usimov [2.4K]
Part A. The technique on how to find the equation that only applies to point D and E, is to create a line or curve that only includes two of these points. In this case, I created a random parabola that isolates points C and F from the rest of the points. First, we have to find the equation of the parabola through its general forms:

(x - h)² = +/-4a(y-k)      or    (y - k)² = +/-4a(x - h)

For parabolas drawn like that in the picture, the general form is (x - h)² = +4a(y-k), where the vertex is (h,k) and a is the distance from the vertex to the focus. From the picture, the vertex is at (0,3). Then, we use point D(-2,4) to determine a:

(-2 - 0)² = +4a(4 - 3)
4a = 4

So, the equation of the parabola is:

x² = 4(y - 3)
x² = 4y - 12

Part B. Point D was already verified above. Now for point E(2,4)
x² = 4y - 12
2² ? 4(4) - 12
4 ? 4
4 = 4

Part C. For y < 7x − 4, ignore the equality symbol first and graph the line. Assign random values of x, then you get corresponding values of y. Plot them as shown in the second picture. The line is shown in red. Next, test the equation by choosing a random point. Let's choose the purple point at (4,3).

3 ? 7(4) − 4
3 ? 24
3 < 24

Thus, it applies to the purple point, and all the other areas to that area. The shaded region are all solutions of the inequality. So, Erica is only interested in points E, C and F.

A right triangle has coordinates A(6, 0), B(0, 0), and C(0, 8). What is the perimeter of the triangle?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given coordinates

A(6, 0), B(0, 0) then AB = 6 - 0 = 6

B(0, 0), C(0, 8) then BC = 8 - 0 = 8

To calculate AC use Pythagoras' theorem on the right triangle formed

AC² = AB² + BC² = 6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100

Take the square root of both sides, hence

AC = \sqrt{100} = 10

Perimeter = AB + BC + AC = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 → C

Kx - c = 9 solve for x
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

x = \frac{9+c}{k}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

kx - c = 9 ( add c to both sides )

kx = 9 + c ( isolate x by dividing both sides by k )

x = \frac{9+c}{k}

What number has the same value as12 tens
Nuetrik [128]
12 tens as in 12 10's
that equals
10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10
or 12 times 10
when multiply by 10, just move decimal place on e to the right
12.0 times 10=120
