Answer:

Two things we need to remember:

Speed of light = c = 299,792,458 m / s

This means that the light in one second covers a distance of 299,792,458 m

And for a circle of radius R, the is:

C = 2*pi*R

where:

pi = 3.14

Then if the radius of the earth is 6,378.1 km, then the of the earth is:

C = 2*(3.14)*6,378.1 km = 40,054.468 km

And we know that 1 km = 1000m

Then the circumference of the earth is:

C = (40,054.468*1000) m = 40,054,468 m

Now we need to see how many times the light can encircle the earth per second. (we assume that the light can move in a circular path, this is not really accurate to the reality)

We know that in one second the light can cover a distance of:  299,792,458 m

And the circumference of the earth is: 40,054,468 m

The quotient between these two distances is the number of times that the light can encircle the earth:

N = (299,792,458 m)/(40,054,468 m)  = 7.5

So light could encircle the earth 7.5 times per second.

What is the average rate of change for ƒ(x) = −2^x + 70 over the interval 2 ≤ x ≤ 6? A) −15 B) −16 C) −30 D) −32
N76 [4]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [ a, b ] = [ 2, 6 ], thus

f(b) = f(6) = - 2^{6} + 70 = - 64 + 70 = 6

f(a) = f(2) = - 2² + 70 = - 4 + 70 = 66

average rate of change = \frac{6-66}{6-2} = \frac{-60}{4} = - 15 → A

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, and a base, b. The perimeter of the triangle is 15. 7 inches, so the equ
brilliants [131]

The lengths that make the sense for the value of b are 0.5 inches and 2 inches.

<h2>Given </h2>

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, and a base, b.

The perimeter of the triangle is 15.7 inches, so the equation to solve is 2a + b = 15.7.

<h3>What is the triangle inequality theorem?</h3>

If two sides of a triangle are unequal, the longer side has a greater angle opposite to it.

\rm a+a > b\\\\2a > b

The equation of the perimeter of the triangle;

\rm 2a+b = 15.7\\\\2a = 15.7-b\\\\a = \dfrac{15.7-b}{2}

1. Substitute b = 0.5 in the equation;

\rm a = \dfrac{15.7-b}{2}\\\\  a = \dfrac{15.7-0.5}{2} \\\\ a = \dfrac{15.2}{2}\\\\a = 7.6

Then,

Verify the triangle inequality theorem;

0.5 + 7.6 > 7.6 is true

7.6 + 7.6 > 0.5 is true

2. Substitute b = 2 in the equation;

\rm a = \dfrac{15.7-b}{2}\\\\  a = \dfrac{15.7-02}{2} \\\\ a = \dfrac{13.7}{2}\\\\a = 6.85

Then,

Verify the triangle inequality theorem;

0.5 + 76.85 > 6.85 is true

6.85 + 6.85 > 2 is true

Hence, the lengths that make the sense for the value of b are 0.5 inches and 2 inches.

A line passes through the point (3 comma 1 comma negative 8 )​, and is parallel to the vector 5 Bold i plus 3 Bold j plus 3 Bold
motikmotik

The line \ell passing through (3, 1, -8) and running parallel to the vector <5, 3, 3> has the vector equation

\ell=(3\,\vec\imath+\vec\jmath-8\,\vec k)+t(5\,\vec\imath+3\,\vec\jmath+3\,\vec k)

or

\ell=(3+5t)\,\vec\imath+(1+3t)\,\vec\jmath+(3t-8)\,\vec k

and from this we can extract a set of parametric equations for the line:

\begin{cases}x(t)=5t+3\\y(t)=3t+1\\z(t)=3t-8\end{cases}

where t\in\Bbb R.
