5 miles/day
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a division problem.
(60 miles)/(12 days) = 5 miles/day
Answer: 77.05
Step-by-step explanation: 1) Draw a right triangle with these measures:
angle with the horizontal: 6 degress
horizontal segment: 5
height: x
2) Definition of tangent : tan(6°) = opposite leg / adjacent leg = x / 5 =>
3) Solve for
x = 5tan(6°) = 77.05
The answer is <span>a.)(x - 4)2 = 3.
(x - a)</span>² = b can be expressed as:
x² - 2ax + a² = b ⇒ x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0
Our equation is x² - 8x + 13 = 0.
The general formula is x² - 2ax + (a² - b) = 0
Thus:
8x = 2ax and a² - b = 13
Divide both sides of the first equation (8x = 2ax) by x:
8 = 2a ⇒ a = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Replace a in the second equation (a² - b = 13):
4² - b = 13 ⇒ b = 4² - 13 = 16 - 13 = 3
Now when we have a and b, let's just replace them in the general equation:
(x - a)² = b
(x - 4)² = 3
