Answer: The top speed that a sailfish can swim at (\dfrac{x}{5}-1)\ mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Top speed of a peregrine falcon be 'x'.

One fifth the top speed of a peregrine falcon would be

\dfrac{1}{5}x

1 mile per hour less than the above is expressed as

\dfrac{1}{5}x-1

According to question, the top speed that a sailfish can swim would be

\dfrac{1}{5}x-1

Hence, the top speed that a sailfish can swim at (\dfrac{x}{5}-1)\ mph

top speed of a peregrine falcon is 240 miles per hour

 240 x 1/5 = 48

48-1 = 47

 sailfish can swim 47 miles per hour

Find the value of side a on the right triange, given that side B=12cm and side C=15cm
docker41 [41]
Use Pythagoras's theorem.
a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

Now, minus 12 from 15:
15 - 12 = 3,
which you need to square.
So the length of a = 9cm.

You can also do:
\sqrt{15^{2} - 12^{2} }
Which gets 9.

Hope this helps.

How does 89÷4= 22.25
Thepotemich [5.8K]

If you Plug the Problem in a Calculator ====>  89/4  ====> You'll Get  (Decimal: 22.25)

<u>Because, You are  DIVIDING  89   By   4</u>

Using Long Division:   4 Divide By 89  =====> 22  with a Remainder  of  1

Dividend   =====>  89  

Divisor  ====>    4

<u>The Fraction Cannot be Reduced, or Simplified any Further, Its' Irreducible. The Simplest Form, Smallest Numerator, and Denominator.</u>

<u>Result: Written as an Improper Fraction ===> 89/4</u>

<u>Mixed Number/Fraction: ===>  22   1/4  and a Decimal Number ====> 22.25</u>

Therefore, 89/4   =   22 and  R   1   ==>  89/4  ==>  22  *  4  +  1 / 4   =  22  +  1/4  =   22   1/4  as  a mixed fraction.





Hope that helps!!!                                  : )

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the gi
marin [14]

Answer:

The Answer is: y = -3x - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point: (-6, -8)

Given equation:

y = -3x + 3, the slope m = -3

A parallel line has the same slope, m = 3. Use the point slope form and substitute in the point and the slope:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-8) = -3(x - (-6))

y + 8 = -3x - 18

y = -3x - 18 - 8

y = -3x - 26

Proof - use the point (-6, -8):

f(x) = -3x -26

f(-6) = -3(-6) - 26

= 18 - 26 = -8, giving (-6, -8)
