9514 1404 393

Answer:

  77.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of light times will be the ratio of distances:

  (light time to Neptune) / (light time to Mercury)

     = (Neptune distance)/(Mercury distance)

     = (27.93×10^8 mi)/(0.3598×10^8 mi) = 27.93/0.3598

     ≈ 77.6

It takes about 77.6 times as long for light to reach Neptune as it does to reach Mercury.

WHAT IS 3/8 DIVIDED BY 1/2
serious [3.7K]

Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the divison sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So here, 3/8 divided by 1/2 can be rewritten as 3/8 × 2/1.

Now we are simply multiplying fractions so we multiply across the numerators and we multiply across the denominators.

So we have 3 × 2 which is 6 and 8 × 1 which is 8. Since 6/8 is not in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 8 which is 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 3/4.

Therefore, 3/8 divided by 1/2 is 3/4.

A is the answer. It has no repeating x points buy it repeats on the y coordinate, which is okay. The answer is A just to say it again.

Prove or disprove that the circle with equation x^2-4x+y^2=-3 intersects the y axis
wel
The general equation given is x^2 - 4x + y^2 = -3. Transform this to an equation of a circle of the form x^2 + y^2 = r^2.

Use completing the square method:

x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 = -3 + 4
(x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 1

the center of the circle is (2,0) and r = 1

To check if it intersects the y axis, find the value of the x-intercept.
