Answer:

Displacement = 0 mi

Distance = 164,996.45 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the displacement will be zero because the satellite goes back to its starting point after one day. If there is no distance traveled between the starting point and the ending point, then the Displacement will be zero.

When it comes to the distance, we will need to calculate the perimeter of the circle the satellite describes when making one whole turn around the earth.

The perimeter of a circle is given by the equation:

p=2\pi r

so we need to start by finding what the radius of the circle is. This radius if found by adding the radius of the earth and the distance above the equation the satellite is located at, so we get that:

r=r_{earth}+h

where h is the height of the satellite, so the radius of the circle is:

r=22,300mi + 3,960 mi

so

r=26,260 mi

so now we can use the perimeter equation to get:

p=2\pi r

p=2\pi (26,260)

So the distance traveled by the satellite in one day will be:

P=164,996.45 mi.

What is 12.345 rounded to the nearest tenth
noname [10]
Rounding to the nearest tenth means rounding to the decimal place directly to the right of the decimal. 

The rules of rounding are fairly simple. If the number to the right of the number you are rounding is greater than or equal to 5, you round up. If the number to the right is less than 5, you round down.

Let's take a look at the number 12.345.
First, round to the hundredths place. The number right before the 4 is 5, so we round up. This gives us the number 12.35.
Next, we have to round to the tenths place. The number to the right of the 3 is 5, so we round up as well. This gives us the number 12.4.

Answer: 12.4

Select all points that are on the line through 0,5
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Options (1), (3), and (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, slope of a line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given by,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Therefore, slope of a line passing through (0, 5) and (2, 8) will be,

m = \frac{8-5}{2-0} = 1.5

Equation of line passing through (x', y') and slope 'm' is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

Therefore, equation of a line passing through (0, 5) and slope = 1.5,

y - 5 = 1.5(x - 0)

y = 1.5x + 5

Since, all the points which lie on this line will satisfy this equation.

For (4, 11),

11 = 1.5(4) + 5

11 = 11

Point (4, 11) lies on this line.

Point (5, 10)

10 = 1.5(5) + 5

10 = 7.5 + 5

10 = 12.5

But 10 ≠ 12.5

Therefore, (5, 10) doesn't line on the line.

Point (6, 14)

14 = 1.5(6) + 5

14 = 14

True.

Therefore, (6, 14) lies on the line.

Point (30, 50)

50 = 1.5(30) + 5

50 = 50

True.

Therefore, (30, 50) lies on the line.

Point (40, 60)

60 = 1.5(40) + 5

60 = 65

But 60 ≠ 65

Therefore, (40, 60) doesn't lie on the line.

Options (1), (3) and (4) and the correct options.
