We know that:
time=distance/speed
if the tortoise speed is x m/min, then since 0.5 m/hr=1/120 m/min
18/x=23+18/(x+1/120)
solving for x we get:
x=0.08 m/min
speed of hare is:
(0.08+1/120)=0.088 m/min

ss7ja [257]

Linear equation is the equation in which the highest power of the unknown variable is one.

The given equation the constant 2000 represents the base salary or the fixed salary of the salesman.

To find that what does 2000 represent in the given linear equation we need to know about the linear equation.

<h3>What is linear equation?</h3>

Linear equation is the equation in which the highest power of the unknown variable is one.

Given information-

Total sales by salesman each month is s dollars.

The total money made by the salesman each month by selling goods of s dollars given by,

S=2000+0.1s

The above equation given in the problem is the linear equation. In this linear equation the salary of salesman depends on his sales.

The constant amount of $2000 is the fixed amount of the salesman.

The variable s is the variable on which the salary of the salesman depends. Thus due to this variable the salary of the salesman changes.

Hence in the given equation the constant 2000 represents the base salary or the fixed salary of the salesman.

Answer:

type 2 in the first box,

13/4 in the second box, and

-9/8 in the third one

Step-by-step explanation:Notice that you are asked to write the following quadratic expression in vertex form, so you need to find the "x" value of the vertex, and then the "y" value of the vertex:

x_{vertex}= -b/2a

Which in our case is: -13/4

and the value of the y for the vertex is obtained using the functional expression when x equals -13/4:

f(-13/4)= -9/8

Then your expression for this quadratic should be:

f(x)=2\,(x+\frac{13}{4} )^2+(-\frac{9}{8})

Then type 2 in the first box, 13/4 in the second box, and -9/8 in the third one

The work W required to move a particle from a far distance to within radius r of another particle varies jointly as the product
tangare [24]

Answer:

W = kq1q2 / r

Step-by-step explanation:

W varies jointly as the product of q1 and q2 and inversely as radius r

Product of q1 and q2 = q1q2

W = (k*q1"q2) / r

W = kq1q2 / r

Where,

W = work

q1 = particle 1

q2 = particle 2

r = radius

k = constant of proportionality

The answer is W = kq1q2 / r
