The speed of an object in space is shown in the graph.

Mathematics

Virty [35]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is the ratio y/x (or here distance/time) indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.

so, we have 2 points here

(0.2, 3)

(0.4, 6)

x (or time) changes by 0.2 units (from 0.2 to 0.4).

y (or distance) changes by 3 units (from 3 to 6).

therefore, the slope is 3/0.2 = 3/(1/5) = 3/1 / 1/5 = 3×5/1×1 = 15

that means based on the graph, that the object travels 15 miles in 1 minute.

Find the measure of the the sides of DEF then classify it by it sides. D(8,-6) E(-1,-3) F(-2,5)

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Part a) The measure of the sides of triangle DEF are

$d_D_E=\sqrt{90}\ units$

$d_E_F=\sqrt{65}\ units$

$d_D_F=\sqrt{221}\ units$

Part b) Is a scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have the coordinates

D(8,-6) E(-1,-3) F(-2,5)

step 1

Find the length side DE

D(8,-6) E(-1,-3)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3+6)^{2}+(-1-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(9)^{2}}$

$d_D_E=\sqrt{90}\ units$

step 2

Find the length side EF

E(-1,-3) F(-2,5)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(5+3)^{2}+(-2+1)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$

$d_E_F=\sqrt{65}\ units$

step 3

Find the length side DF

D(8,-6) F(-2,5)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(5+6)^{2}+(-2-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(11)^{2}+(-10)^{2}}$

$d_D_F=\sqrt{221}\ units$

step 4

Classify the triangle by the measure of its sides

we have

$d_D_E=\sqrt{90}\ units$

$d_E_F=\sqrt{65}\ units$

$d_D_F=\sqrt{221}\ units$

Is a scalene triangle, because is a triangle in which all three sides have different lengths.

Solve the following equations;- x - 9 /√x + 3 =1

fgiga [73]

Answer:

13 , 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

A equation is given to us and we need to find out the value of x . The given equation to us is ,

$\sf\implies \dfrac{ x -9}{\sqrt{x+3}}= 1$

Cross multiply ,

$\sf\implies x - 9 =\sqrt{ x +3}$

Squaring both sides ,

$\sf\implies (x - 9)^2 = x + 3$

Simplify the whole square ,

$\sf\implies x^2+9^2-2.9.x = x +3 \\$

$\sf\implies x^2+81 - 18x = x -3$

Add 3 and subtract x on both sides ,

$\sf\implies x^2 -18x-x +81-3=0$

Simplify ,

$\sf\implies x^2 -19x +78=0$

Split the middle term of the quadratic equation,

$\sf\implies x^2-13x-6x+78=0$

Take out common ,

$\sf\implies x( x -13)-6(x-13)=0$

Take out ( x -13 ) as common ,

$\sf\implies ( x -13)(x-6)=0$

Equate both factors to 0 ,

$\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\sf x = 13,6}}$

Hence the value of x is 13 or 6 .

In one year the perseid metor shower had a metor appear every 1/5 5 minutes on average That same year the Leonid metor shower ha

olga55 [171]

In one year, the Perseid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 1 1/5 minutes on average. That same year, the Leonid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 4 2/3 minutes on average. How many more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower?

Answer:

325,452 meteors

Step-by-step explanation:

We all know that :

We have 365 days in a year and in each day there are 24 hours, Likewise an hour has 60 minutes

SO, the total number of minutes in a year is :

365 × 24 × 60 = 525600 minutes

For Perseid meteor:

$1 + \frac{1}{5} \\ \\ = 1 + 0.2 \\ \\ = 1.2$

So one meteor fall at 1.2 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :

1 meteor - 1.2 minutes.

x meteor - 525600 minutes.

1.2x = 525600

$x = \frac{525600}{1.2}$

x = 438000

∴ 438,000 meteors fell during the Perseid shower.

For Leonid meteor shower:

$4 + \frac{2}{3} = 4.67$

So one meteor fall at 4.67 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :

1 meteor - 4.67 minutes.

x meteors - 525600 minutes.

$4.67x = 525600$

$x = \frac{525600}{4.67}$

x = 112548

112,548 meteors fell during the Leonid Shower.

Finally , the numbers of more meteors that fell during the Perseid meteor shower is calculated by the difference in the number of Perseid meteor shower and Lenoid meteor shower. i.e

438,000 - 112,548 = 325,452

325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower
