Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

a:b = 5:8 means a/b = 5/8

20/b = 5/8

Cross multiplication will give you b = 32

Answer:

b = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

20/5 = 4

So for finding b, we have to multiply 8 * 4 which is 32.

If an object is dropped from a tower, then the velocity, V (in feet per second), of the object after t seconds can be obtained b
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

259.6 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a universal standard that acceleration due to gravity is 32ft/sec^2.

Now it can be verified by equation,

V(f) = V(i)+at (1st equation of motion derived by Newton's three laws of motion)

where,

V(f) is final velocity

V(i) is initial velocity

a is acceleration which is constant and have value 32ft/sec^2

t is time which is given as 7.8 seconds

In the given case, initial velocity that is V(i) will be 0ft/sec. Because, on dropping, object will start to move under the influence of gravity from zero speed.

So,

V(f) = 0 +(32) (7.8)

V(f) = 249.6 ft/sec

Now the condition is given that you have to add a constant 10 to the answer.

so, V(f) = 249.6 + 10

      V(f) = 259.6 ft/sec

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-6,2), (0,-6).A 6B 2.C-4/3DOE-3/1
NNADVOKAT [17]

Given data:

The first point given iis (a, b)=(-6,2).

The second point given is (c,d)=(0, -6).

The expression for the slope is,

m=(d-b)/(c-a)

Substitute the given points in the above expression.

m=(-6-2)/(0-(-6))

=(-8)/(6)

=-4/3

Thus, the slope of the line is -4/3, so (C) option is correct.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

D.  x2 + x - 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x – 4)(x + 5).

= x(x + 5) -4(x + 5).

= x2 + 5x – 4x – 20.

= x2 + x - 20.
