It represents the "SEA LEVEL"

Answer:

Sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

In geography, 'Elevation' is measured in relation to sea level, so sea level would be zero.

Thus, Chicago is 600 feet above sea level and Seely, California is 200 feet below sea level.

If there were nothing but flat land all the way from Seely to the ocean, sea water would come in and cover Seely. Fortunately for the people in Seely. California's coastal mountain range is between the town and the ocean, so that does not happen.

Blababa [14]
It would be 6 miles per hour.

mph is a unit for speed. And the formula for speed is s=distance /time

So the distance is 2 miles
And the time is 20 minutes

*for this question you need to convert the minutes to hours to get the right units

20mins =0.3 hours (approx) [20/60 to get it in hours]

2 miles/0.3 hours ≈ 6 mph

A fossil is 254 millimeters long. How many meters long is the fossil? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.
Mariana [72]
1000milimeter=1meter
divide both sides by 1000
1mm=1/1000m
times both sides by 254
254mm=254/1000m
254mm=25.4/100m
254mm=2.54/10m
254mm=0.254/1m
254mm=0.254m

it is 0.254 meters

Please help!! What Find the Error and explain why it is wrong!
Nata [24]

Answer:

First image attached

The error was done in Step E, because student did not multiply 2\cdot x -8 by the negative sign in numerator. Step E must be \frac{2\cdot x -5}{(x+4)\cdot (x-4)}.

Second image attached

The error was done in Step C, because the student omitted the 2\cdot a \cdot b of the algebraic identity (a+b)^{2} = a^{2}+2\cdot a\cdot b +b^{2}. Step C must be 5\cdot x = x^{2}+4\cdot x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First image attached

The error was done in Step E, because student did not multiply 2\cdot x -8 by the negative sign in numerator. The real numerator in Step E should be:

3-(2\cdot x -8)= 3-2\cdot x+8 = 11-2\cdot x

Hence, Step E must be \frac{2\cdot x -5}{(x+4)\cdot (x-4)}.

Second image attached

The error was done in Step C, because the student omitted the 2\cdot a \cdot b of the algebraic identity (a+b)^{2} = a^{2}+2\cdot a\cdot b +b^{2}. Step C must be 5\cdot x = x^{2}+4\cdot x + 4

And further steps are described below:

Step D

x^{2}-x+4 = 0

Which according to the Quadratic Formula, represents a polynomial with complex roots. That is: (a = 1, b = -1, c = 4)

D = b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c

D = (-1)-4\cdot (1)\cdot (4)

D = -17 (Conjugated complex roots)

Step E

(x-0.5-i\,1.936)\cdot (x-0.5+i\,1.936) = 0

Step F

x = 0.5+i\,1.936\,\lor\,x = 0.5-i\,1.936

Answer:

$ 800

Step-by-step explanation:

Parking slot is in the shape of parallelogram.

base = 3 m

Height = 6 2/3 m

Area = base * height

        = 3 * 6\frac{2}{3}\\\\= 3*\frac{20}{3}\\\\= 20 sq.m

Cost of paving the parking spot = 20 * 40

                                                    = $ 800
