Answer: 1.5ft/seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a loon is a bird that dives in the ocean for its food and that it can dive to a depth of 12ft in 8 seconds.

The amount of feet it dive per second will be gotten by dividing 12ft by 8 seconds. This will be:

= 12ft / 8sec

= 1.5ft/seconds

The surface areas of two similar solids are 340 yd² and 1,158 yd². The volume of the larger solid is 1,712 yd³. What is the volu
ratelena [41]

The ratio of surface area is equal to the ratio of the square of the corresponding dimensions. And ratio of volumes of two solids is equal to the cube of the ratio of the corresponding dimensions .

We start with the relation between ratio of surface area and ratio of corresponding sides. That is

\frac{340}{1158}=(\frac{x}{y} )^2

Here x and y are the corresponding sides .

\frac{x}{y} =\sqrt{\frac{340}{1158} } =0.542

Let the volume of the smaller one be v

\frac{v}{1712}=0.542^3

v=1712*0.542^3=272

So for the smaller solid, volume is 272 . And the correct option is the first option .

Answer:

Step 1 is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{4} r+ 2 = 10

\frac{r}{4}  + 2 = 10

\frac{r}{4}  = 10  -  2

\frac{r}{4}  = 8

r = 8 \times 2

r = 32

At what point on the parabola y = 3x^2 + 2x is the tangent line parallel to the line<br> y = 10x −2?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

( \frac{4}{3} , 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 10x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 10

Parallel lines have equal slopes

then the tangent to the parabola with a slope of 10 is required.

the slope of the tangent at any point on the parabola is \frac{dy}{dx}

differentiate each term using the power rule

\frac{d}{dx} (ax^{n} ) = nax^{n-1} , then

\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x + 2

equating this to 10 gives

6x + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

6x = 8 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3}

substitute this value into the equation of the parabola for corresponding y- coordinate.

y = 3(\frac{4}{3} )² + 2

   = (3 × \frac{16}{9} ) + 2

   = \frac{16}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

   = \frac{24}{3}

   = 8

the point on the parabola with tangent parallel to y = 10x - 2 is ( \frac{4}{3} , 8 )

Verify seca(1-sina)(seca+tana)=1
beks73 [17]
Seca(1-sina)(seca+tana)=1
Left hand side
=(1-sina) (seca +tana) / cosa
=seca +tana - sinaseca - sinatan / cosa
=seca + tana -tana -(sin^2a/cosa) / cosa
=(1/cosa - sin^2a/cosa) / cosa
= (1-sin^2a / cosa) / cosa
= (1-sin^2a)/ (cos^2a)
=1 (verified)
