9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) 9:45 pm

  b) 10:57 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 15 hours between 7:30 am and 10:30 pm, the clock hands will have moved 15×0.95 = 14.25 hours = 14 hours and 15 minutes.

At 10:30 pm, the clock indicates 9:45 pm.

__

b) In the 9 hours between 10:30 pm and 7:30 am, the clock will have moved 9×0.95 = 8.55 hours, or 8 hours 33 minutes. That is, the clock needs to be set 27 minutes ahead of the actual time.

The clock need to be set to 10:57 pm.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

At 95% speed, the clock loses 5%×60 minutes = 3 minutes each hour. In the 15 hours from morning to night, the clock will be 45 minutes slow. It will indicate 9:45 at 10:30 pm.

In the 9 hours from night to morning, the clock will lose 27 minutes so needs to be set 27 minutes fast. It should be set to 10:57 pm at 10:30 pm.

Use the graph to determine the vertex point of the quadratic function. Is the vertex a
Feliz [49]

Answer:

B) Vertex (1,2), maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine if the graph has a maximum or a minimum value. Since the graph opens downwards, it has a <u>maximum</u> value.

The maximum is the point that has the greatest y value. We can see that the greatest y value is at y=2. Going down two units from that spot, we can see that the x value is at x=1. We can plug those into the vertex form, (x,y). By plugging in we get the point (1,2).

Could 18 in, 6 in, 13 in form a triangle
Tanya [424]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason on why it could form a triangle because 18 is the highest side in the triangle and if you have 2 of the smaller sides that are greater than the larger size then you could form a triangle and 13 and 6 equals to 19 so you could make a triangle hopes this helps and have a good day.

hello again I need to find an equation to find the long side of the triangle. but this time only the hypotenuse is given. brainl
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Long = 10.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

hypotenuse = 12

long = ?

Process

1.- To find Long, we must use the trigonometric functions sine or cosine.

If we use sine, we use the 60° angle

If we use cosine, we use the 30° angle

a) sin 60 = long / hypotenuse

   Long = hypotenuse x sin 60

   Long = 12 x sin 60

   Long = 10.39

b) cos 30 = Long / hypotenuse

   Long = hypotenuse x cos 30

   Long = 12 x cos 30

  Long = 10.39
