Answer:

  • 3.08 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total distance = 10 miles
  • Total time = 2 hours
  • Distance walked = x
  • Speed walked = 2 mph
  • Distance cycled = 10 - x
  • Speed cycled = 15 mph

<u>Using the given data we can have the equation below to the time:</u>

  • x/2 + (10 - x)/15 = 2
  • 30x/2 + 30(10 - x)/15 = 30(2)
  • 15x + 20 - 2x = 60
  • 13x = 60 - 20
  • 13x = 40
  • x = 40/13
  • x = 3.08 miles <em>rounded to 2 decimal places</em>

Triangle ABC had a perimeter 18 cm
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Use pythagoreum theorem to determine whether it is or isn't since I'm not really sure myself but here's my calculations.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find AC.

Picture a triangle called ABC. AB is one side and BC the other while AC is the hypotenuse.

AC=

ac =  \sqrt{ab ^{2}  +  {bc}^{2} } \\ ac = \sqrt{ {7}^{2} }  +  {3}^{2}  \\ ac =  \sqrt{49 + 9}  \\ ac =  \sqrt{58 }  \\ ac = 7.6

Round up the 7.6 to a whole number and you get AC=8. To get perimeter of a triangle simply add the sides together to get 18.

Not really sure about my answer but hope this helped.

F(x)=-x^2+6x+14 vertex
sasho [114]

Answer:

Vertex: (3, 23)

Step-by-step explanation:

a = -1   b = 6   c = 14

x vertex = \frac{-b}{2a}

\frac{-6}{-2}=3

f(x)-x^{2} +6x+14\\f(3) = -(3)^{2}+6(3) + 14 \\f(3)=-9+18+14\\f(3)=23

Can i please get help with this
geniusboy [140]

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersecting secant angles theorem: The angle between two secants is half the difference of the intersected arcs.

52 = ½ (x − 38)

x = 142

Arc angles add up to 360.

360 = 80 + 38 + z + x

z = 100

Tangent-chord theorem: The angle between a tangent and a chord is half the intercepted arc angle.

y = x/2

y = 71

Alicia Bitman, age 30, plans to purchase a $200,000, 5-year term life insurance policy. What is the annual premium?
zhenek [66]

Answer: $770

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of units to be purchased by Alicia:

= 200,000 / 1,000

= 200 units

Alicia is purchasing a 5-year term life insurance policy. At age 30, the cost per $1,000 unit of insurance is $3.85 for a female.

The formula for the annual premium is:

= Number of units purchased * Premium per $1,000

= 200 * 3.85

= $770
