Answer: 8.37 cm rounded

Step-by-step explanation: The second hand on a clock rotates around the center of a clock creating a circle. This means it travels around the circle of the clock every hour. Its distance around the clock is the circumference of its circle with radius 8 cm.

This is the total distance around the clock in 1 hour. But how far does it travel in 10 minutes? 10 minutes is 1/6 of 60 minutes, a full hour. Multiply the circumference by 1/6 to find the distance in 10 minutes.

1/6 ( 50.24)= 8.37

How do i write 3x-3y=18 in function notation

Elina [12.6K]

First you would have to isolate y.
3x - 3y = 18 -----> Subtract 3x from both sides
-3y = -3x + 18 --------> Now divide both sides by -3
y= x - 6

Now you replace the y with an f(x)
f(x) = x - 6
