On your family trip, you used 9 gallons of gas. If the odometer readings before and after your trip were 74,233 and 74,545, resp

sveta [45]

Find the number of miles driven by subtracting the odometer readings:

74545 - 74233 = 312 miles driven.

Divide miles driven by gallons of gas used:

312 / 9 = 34.66 = 35 miles per gallon.

How do I simplify this (sinx)/(secx+1)

pochemuha

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{sin~x}{sec~x+1} =\frac{sin~x}{\frac{1}{cos~x}+1 } =\frac{sin~x~cos~x}{1+cos~x} \\=\frac{sin~x~cos~x}{1+cos~x} \times \frac{1-cos~x}{1-cos~x} \\=\frac{sin~x~cos~x(1-cos~x)}{1-cos^2 x} \\=\frac{sin~x~cos~x(1-cos~x)}{sin^2x} \\=\frac{cos~x(1-cos~x)}{sin~x} \\=cos ~x(csc~x-cot~x)\\or\\=cot~x(1-cos~x)$

From a point on a cliff 75 feet above water level, an observer can see a shipThe angle of depression to the ship is d^ How far i

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

52feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up will be a right angle

Let the angle of depression be 30°

The height above the sea level will be the opposite

The distance of the ship from the base is x (adjacent)

Using TOA

Tan theta = opposite/adjacent

Tan 30 = 30/x

x = 30/tan 30

x = 30/0.5774

x = 51.96

x ≈ 52 feet to the nearest foot

Mike hiked to a lake in 4.5 hours at an average rate of 2

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It took Pedro <em>3.81 hours</em> to reach the lake.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Mike to hike a lake = 4.5 hours

Average rate of Mike while hiking the lake = $2\frac{1}{5}\ miles/hr$

Formula for distance can be seen as:

$Distance = Speed\times Time$

Distance traveled by Mike = $4.5 \times 2\frac{1}{5} = 4.5\times \frac{11}{5} = 9.9\ miles$

Rate of Pedro while hiking the same distance = $2\frac{3}{5}\ miles/hr = \frac{13}{5}\ miles/hr$

Given that, Pedro also travels the same distance.

And we have to find the Time.

$Time = \dfrac{Distance}{Speed}$

$Time = \dfrac{9.9}{\frac{13}{5}}\\\Rightarrow Time = \dfrac{9.9\times 5}{13} = \bold{3.81\ hours}$

It took Pedro <em>3.81 hours</em> to reach the lake.
