Answer:

The distance to the market is 2000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ John runs to the market and comes back in 15 minutes

→ Change the min. to the sec. because the unit of his speed is m/s

∵ 1 minute = 60 seconds

∴ 15 minutes = 15 × 60 = 900 seconds

→ Assume that t1 is his time to the market and t2 is his time from

  the market

∵  t1 + t2 = 15 minutes

∴ t1 + t2 = 900 ⇒ (1)

→ Assume that the distance to the market is d

∵ His speed on the way to the market is 5m/s

∵ Time = Distance ÷ Speed

∴ t1 = d ÷ 5 ⇒ (1 ÷ 5 = 0.2)

∴ t1 = 0.2d ⇒ (2)

∵ His speed on the way back is 4m/s

∴ t2 = d ÷ 4 ⇒ (1 ÷ 4 = 0.25)

∴ t2 = 0.25d ⇒ (3)

→ Substitute (2) and (3) in (1)

∵ 0.2d + 0.25d = 900

∴ 0.45d = 900

→ Divide both sides by 0.45

∴ d = 2000 m

∴ The distance to the market = 2000 m

Amaya used these steps to solve the equation 8x + 4 = 9 + 4 (2x-1). Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 4=5?
pogonyaev
She distributed the 4 to the 2x-1, giving her 9+ 8x -4. she subtracted 8x from both sides leaving her with 4=9-4 which is the same as 4=5

Given f(x) = 10 - 16/x, find all c in the interval [2,8] that satisfy the mean value theorem
Katen [24]
F(x)=10-16/x
f'(x)=16/x^2
f'(c)=16/c^2
f(8)=10-16/8=10-2=8
f(2)=10-16/2=10-8=2
f'(c)= \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} in (2,8),
 \frac{16}{c^2} = \frac{f(8)-f(2)}{8-2} ,
 \frac{16}{c^2} = \frac{8-2}{8-2}

4∈[2,8] is the required point.

Which sequences are geometric? Check all that apply.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The geometric sequences are:

16 , -8 , 4 , -2 , 1 ⇒ 2nd

-15 , -18 , -21.6 , -25.92 , -31.104, ........ ⇒ 3rd

625 , 125 , 25 , 5 , 1 , ........ ⇒ 5th

Step-by-step explanation:

In the geometric sequence there is a constant ratio between each two consecutive terms

Let us find which sequence has  a constant ratio between its consecutive terms

-2 , -4 , -6 , -8 , -10

∵ -4 ÷ -2 = 2

∵ -6 ÷ -4 = 1.5

- No constant ratio between the consecutive terms

∴ The sequence is not geometric

16 , -8 , 4 , -2 , 1

∵ -8 ÷ 16 = -0.5

∵ 4 ÷ -8 = -0.5

∵ -2 ÷ 4 = -0.5

∵ 1 ÷ -2 = -0.5

- There is a constant ratio -0.5 between the consecutive terms

∴ The sequence is geometric

-15 , -18 , -21.6 , -25.92 , -31.104, ........

∵ -18 ÷ -15 = 1.2

∵ -21.6 ÷ -18 = 1.2

∵ -25.92 ÷ -21.6 = 1.2

∵ 31.104 ÷ 25.92 = 1.2

- There is a constant ratio 1.2 between the consecutive terms

∴ The sequence is geometric

4 , 10.5 , 17 , 23.5 , 30, ......

∵ 10.5 ÷ 4 = 2.625

∵ 17 ÷ 10.5 = 1.619047619

- No constant ratio between the consecutive terms

∴ The sequence is not geometric

625 , 125 , 25 , 5 , 1 , ........

∵ 125 ÷ 625 = 0.2

∵ 25 ÷ 125 = 0.2

∵ 5 ÷ 25 = 0.2

∵ 1 ÷ 5 = 0.2

- There is a constant ratio 0.2 between the consecutive terms

∴ The sequence is geometric

PLEASE HELP, 40 points, absurd answers will be reported, good answers will get brainliest

Part 1) There are a lot of examples. The Colliseum in Rome is an example of an ellipse in architecture. Tires of cars are in a very good approximation a circle.  The Arch of triumph is an example of a parabola in the real world, as are many bridges, such as the golden gate bridge.
Part 2) The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension Bridge spanning the Golden Gate, a short strait in San Francisco. It is one of the wonders of the Modern World and it was opened in 1937. It cost around 500 million dollars in today's currency and it is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world and from land to land the distance is 1280 m. The height of the suspensions is 230 m.
Part 3) We can think of a parabola of the form y=ax^2 where we need to substitute the values to find a.
