Answer:

Mr. Gerard speed was at most 25 miles per hour before the curve

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>How to solve the speed Mr. Gerard was driving before the curve</u>

Let’s just assume that Gerard went <em>exactly</em> the speed limit 15 miles per hour (mph) <em>after</em> when he slowed down by 10 miles per hour and drove around the curve. The reason why I’m using exactly 15mph is because it’s the max speed he can go. He can go 15 miles per hour and still be safe, but it’s just that he can’t go any faster than that.

Now, you can do 15 + 10 to find the speed he went <em>before</em> he drove around the curve. So, that would be 25mph <em>before</em> he drove around the curve.

<u>You might be asking:</u> What if he went slower than 25mph before he drove around the curve, and what if he went faster than 25mph?

-When he drives exactly 25mph and slows down by 10mph when he makes the turn around the curve, he’s going exactly 15mph which it safe for him because it’s not faster than 15mph.

-It could be possible that he went slower than 25mph before he drove around the curve, but he still will be safe because when he makes the turn around the curve and slows down by 10 miles per hour, now he’ll reach below 15 miles per hour which is even safer for him. Here’s an example for you to understand: Let’s say he drove 23mph <em>before</em> the curve (which is less than 25mph). As soon as he makes the turn around the curve, he slows down by 10mph. So after he goes around the curve, he’s going 13mph, which is less than the speed limit 15mph. You can take any number less than 25mph and he’ll still be safe because it will be less than 15mph.

-Now, if he went faster than 25mph, he wouldn’t be safe anymore because after when he slows down by 10mph and goes around the curve, he’ll be <em>above</em> the speed limit of 15mph. Here’s an example for you to understand: Let’s say he drove 27mph <em>before</em> the curve (which is faster than 25mph). As soon as he makes the turn around the curve, he slows down by 10mph. So after he goes around the curve, he’s going 17mph, which is faster than the speed limit 15mph.

<u>Answer:</u> Mr. Gerard speed was at most 25 miles per hour before the curve

<u>Graphing it</u>

A way to graph this is to write out a compound inequality. You can write it as:

0 < y ≤ 25  ⇒ Where any speed has to be <em>less than or equal to</em> 25 miles per hour, because 25 miles per hour is the most/biggest speed Mr. Gerard can drive. But it has to be <em>greater than</em> 0 because you can’t go negative miles per hour, or 0 miles per hour

<u>The graph is shown below ↓</u>

I don’t know what graph you want, or how your teacher wants you to graph it. So I put two options for you :)

I hope you understand and that this helps with your question! :)

Leah needs to buy some apples from the grocery store. She places fifteen apples in her cart and proceeds to the checkout. Lucky for her, there happens to be a discount on apples for the day. She saves $25 on her purchase. The total money she ends up spending was only $35 (excluding tax). How much did each apple cost?

Problem 8

Answer: angle LSO and angle MSN

--------------

Explanation:

Vertical angles form when we intersect two line segments, lines, or rays. Vertical angles are opposite one another and they are always congruent.

=============================================

Problem 9

Answer: angle LMS and angle SMN

--------------

Explanation:

Adjacent angles share a common line, line segment, or ray. Think of two adjacent rooms sharing a common wall between them. In the case of the answer above, the two angles share the common segment SM (note how S and M are part of LMS and SMN)

When it comes to naming angles, the middle letter is always the vertex of the angle. This is the hinge so to speak. Or you could picture a pair of scissors. For angle LMS, the arms LM and SM are the two blades of the scissors while point M is where the blades meet.

=============================================

Problem 10

Answer: angle LSM and angle MSN

--------------

Explanation:

Same idea as problem 9. Now we're making S the middle letter. Something like angle LSM is the same as angle MSL.

In this case, the two adjacent angles form a straight line. We consider these two angles a linear pair.

=============================================

Problem 11

Answer: angle LSO and angle OSN

--------------

Explanation:

The term linear pair was discussed back in problem 10. So you could list those two angles again, or you could go with another pair as shown above. All that matters is that they are adjacent angles and they are supplementary angles (they add to 180 degrees). There are many possible answers.

Something like the angle pair angle LOS and angle NOS are adjacent angles, but they aren't supplementary. So we don't meet the condition of a linear pair here.

Here is a graph of days(d) of year and the predicted number of hours of sunlight(h)

Look at where the peak is. So, the greatest number of hours of sunlight would be around 180.

Answer:

Positive 1 over 6 raised to the 2nd power 1/62 or 1 over 36 which is 1/36. To find -6-2, take the inverse of -62.

(first find -62) -62 = -6 * -6 = 36

(then take the inverse of 36, which is 1 over 36) = 1 / 36 = 0.0277

so, -6-2 =0.0277

The ratio of muscisians to actors was 2 to 5. If there were 28 musicians, how many actors were there?
julsineya [31]
2•14=28 which is the musicians

5•14=70 which would be the actors

The ratio would be 28:70
