I think you're talking about the black spot on the surface of the Earth,
where the end of the Moon's shadow falls, and anybody inside that
circle sees the Sun completely covered for a few minutes.

The size of that spot varies.  It depends on exactly how far the Moon
is from the Earth, and exactly how far both bodies are from the Sun.

The longest possible totality viewed from a single location is about
7-1/2 minutes, when all the geometry is just right.  Then, I believe,
the black spot on the Earth's surface is something like 170 miles
across, moving at around 24 miles a minute, or  1,460 miles per hour.

The graph of the function f(x) = -(x+6)(x + 2) is shown
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The function is increasing for all real values of x where

x < –4.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=-(x+6)(x+2)

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex (h,k) represent  a maximum

The roots of the function (or x-intercepts) are x=-6 and x=-2

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the midpoint of the roots

so

h=(-2-6)/2=-4

The y-coordinate of the vertex is

substitute the x-coordinate of the vertex in the quadratic equation

k=-(-4+6)(-4+2)

k=-(2)(-2)

k=4

The vertex is the point (-4,4)

The function is increasing in the interval (-∞,-4)

The function is decreasing in the interval (-4,∞)

A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 20​% copper and another alloy that is 60​% copper. How many kilograms of each alloy shou
qaws [65]

Answer:

16 kg of I type and 64 kg of II type should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a metal alloy in original has 20% copper and 80% other metals.

Another mixture contains 60% copper and 40% other metals.

We have to get a new alloy of 80 kg which has 52% copper.

Let us assume that we mix x kg of I alloy and y kg of second alloy.

Then we have x+y = total weight = 80 kg.

x+y = 80   ... (i)

Next condition is that new alloy has 52% copper in it

When we mix x kg of I, and y kg of II, copper content would be

0.2x+0.6y.  This equals 52% of 80 = 41.6

Or Dividing by 0.2 we get

x+3y =208  ... (ii)

(ii)-(i) gives 2y = 128 or y =64 kg

x = 16 kg

16 kg of I type and 64 kg of II type should be mixed.

Verify:

Copper in new alloy = 16(0.2) + 64(0.6) = 3.2+38.4 = 41.6

= 52% of 80
