A bee flies at 10 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 18 minutes, and then

flies directly back to the hive at 6
feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 23 minutes.
a. What equation can you use to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive?
b. How far is the flowerbed from the hive?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = distance from hive to flowers, in feet

flying time = 23 min - 18 min = 5 min = 300 sec

time flying to flowers = d ft × (1 sec)/(10 ft) = (d/10) sec

time flying to hive = d ft × (1 sec)/(6 ft) = (d/6) sec

d/10 + d/6 = 300 sec

:::::

d/10 + d/6 = 3d/30 +5d/30 = 8d/30 = 300

d = 300×30/8 = 1,125 ft

1. Which point on the axis satisfies the inequality y

grigory [225]

Answer:

1) Point $(1,0)$ -----> see the attached figure N $1$

2) The value of x is $4$

3) I quadrant

4) $(1,1)$

5) $y>-5x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

we know that

If the point satisfy the inequality

then

the point must be included in the shaded area

The point $(1,0)$ is included in the shaded area

Part 2)

we have

$x-2y\geq 4$

see the attached figure N $2$

we know that

The value for x on the boundary line and the x axis is equal to the x-intercept of the line $x-2y= 4$

For $y=0$

Find the value of x

$x-2(0)= 4$

$x=4$

The solution is $x=4$

Part 3)

we have

$x\geq 0$ -----> inequality A

The solution of the inequality A is in the first and fourth quadrant

$y\geq 0$ -----> inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is in the first and second quadrant

so

the solution of the inequality A and the inequality B is the first quadrant

Part 4) Which ordered pair is a solution of the inequality?

we have

$y\geq 4x-5$

we know that

If a ordered pair is a solution of the inequality

then

the ordered pair must be satisfy the inequality

we're going to verify all the cases

<u>case A)</u> point $(3,4)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$x=3,y=4$

$4\geq 4(3)-5$

$4\geq 7$ ------> is not true

therefore

the point $(3,4)$ is not a solution of the inequality

<u>case B)</u> point $(2,1)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$x=2,y=1$

$1\geq 4(2)-5$

$1\geq 3$ ------> is not true

therefore

the point $(2,1)$ is not a solution of the inequality

<u>case C)</u> point $(3,0)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$x=3,y=0$

$0\geq 4(3)-5$

$0\geq 7$ ------> is not true

therefore

the point $(3,0)$ is not a solution of the inequality

<u>case D)</u> point $(1,1)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$x=1,y=1$

$1\geq 4(1)-5$

$1\geq -1$ ------> is true

therefore

the point $(1,1)$ is a solution of the inequality

Part 5) Write an inequality to match the graph

we know that

The equation of the line has a negative slope

The y-intercept is the point $(3,0)$

The x-intercept is a positive number

The solution is the shaded area above the dashed line

so

the equation of the line is $y=-5x+3$

The inequality is $y>-5x+3$

A tree that is 40 feet tall casts a 30-foot shadow. At the same time, another tree casts a 20-foot shadow. How tall is the secon

Olegator [25]

So the tree is 40 ft and then the shadow is 30 so then do 40 -30 = 10 ft difference so then for the second tree do 20 + 10 = 30 ft because the 10 ft difference so the answer is 30 ft tall

HELP ASAP DUE TOMORROW

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

5) P (arrive) + P (not arrive) = 100% Complements

80% + P( not arrive) = 100% Substitute thr ralees

P ( not arraive) = 100% - 80% Isolate the needed

P ( not arrive) = 20%

therefor, the probability of not arriving on time is:-

20%, or 0.20, or 1/5

The complements of arriving on time is not arriving on time.

The probability is equal to 100%

Ms. Gregg spent $14 buying fruit

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Ms. Gregg could buy 4 apples and 6 bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split the money and try to get even on each fruit by, getting 4 apples which would be 8 dollars on 4 apples then the extra money would be left over for the bananas which would be six dollars and since the bananas are only 1 dollar you can buy 6 with the leftover money.
