Answer:

15.6km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the map scale 1:200000

1cm on the map represents 200000 cm on ground or in actual distance

Hence, if distance from Belfast to Larne is 7.8vm on map ;

Actual distance will be :

7.8 * 200000 = 1560000 cm

Converting to km :

Recall :

1000 m = 1km

100 cm = 1 m

Hence,

100000 cm = 1km

Therefore, (1560000 / 100000) km

= 15.6km

Hence, distance between Belfast and Larne is 15.6km

A golf player is trying to make a hole-in-one on the miniature golf green shown.

Flauer [41]

The path of the ball is an illustration of absolute equation.

The equation of the path is: $y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

The given parameters are:

$(h,k) = (4.8,6.4)$ --- the vertex (i.e. the point where the ball hits the wall)

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,1.6)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (7.6,1.6)$

An absolute function is represented as:

$y = a |x - h| + k$

Substitute $(h,k) = (4.8,6.4)$

$y = a |x - 4.8| + 6.4$

Substitute $(x_1,y_1) = (2,1.6)$ for x and y

$1.6 = a|2 - 4.8| + 6.4$

$1.6 = a|- 2.8| + 6.4$

Remove absolute bracket

$1.6 = 2.8a + 6.4$

Collect like terms

$2.8a = -6.4+1.6$

$2.8a =- 4.8$

Solve for a

$a =-\frac{4.8}{2.8}$

Simplify

$a =-\frac{12}{7}$

Substitute $a =-\frac{12}{7}$ in $y = a |x - 4.8| + 6.4$

$y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

Hence, the equation of the path is: $y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

See attachment for graph that models the path

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple algebra and substitution of variables for the number can help you to solve the problem,

g(7)=50-2(7)

g(7)=50-14

g(7)=36

Help me answer this please

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

x=115 y=65

Step-by-step explanation:

You get 115 for X because angle x is vertical to 115 degrees.

You get 65 because y is supplementary to x, and 180-65=115.

$\frac{1}{2} ( \frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{4}) \\ = \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 4} + \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} ) \\ = \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{8}{12} + \frac{9}{12} ) \\ = \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{8 + 9}{12} ) \\ = \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{17}{12} ) \\ = \frac{1 \times 17}{2 \times 12} \\ = \frac{17}{24}$
The answer is 17/24
