Answer:

A: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Important to remember - total displacement is the direct distance between the start and finish points, and isn't always equal to the total distance travelled.

In the case of the table above, the hiker travels the same distance in opposite directions, which actually means they cancel each other out! Traveling 4 km to the west, then 4 km to east means you end up in the same spot, right? So your total displacement is 0! (or 4 - 4, which equals 0). Same happens with the north-south hikes - the hiker ends up in the same spot, as the displacement is equal to 6 - 6 = 0.

So, the total displacement of the hiker is 0. (Even though the hiker travelled 20 km!)

Which of the following options is a better purchase for a bicycle? Option 1: A cash sale for $88

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Option 3

Explanation:

To get the value of the cheapest bike, best option, we will calculate the total cost of each bike:

i- Option 1:

Total cost = $88

ii- Option 2:

$5 down payment and $8 per week for 10 weeks

Total cost = 5 + 8(10) = 5 + 80 = $85

iii- Option 3:

$12 down payment and $5 per month for 12 months

Total cost = 12 + 5(12) = 12 + 60 = $72

iv- Option 4:

$20 down payment and $20 per month for 12 months

Total cost = 20 + 20(12) = 20 + 240 = $260

Now, from the above calculations, we can conclude that:

The best price would be that of option 3 ($72). It is the lowest price compared to other option.

Hope this helps :)

Regular pyramid B= P= H= l= LA= SA= V=

devlian [24]

Answer:

B (Base surface area) = 16 $m^{2}$

P (Perimeter of the base) = 16 m

H (Height) = 6 m

L (Not sure what L means. I assume it's the slant height??) = 6.32 m

LA (I assume lateral surface area) = $50.59 m^{2}$

SA (I assume total surface area) = $66.59 m^{2}$

V (volume) = $32 m^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry if anything is wrong. It would be more helpful to put the names, instead of acronyms.

A diver jumps up and over from a cliff in order to avoid rocks and land in the deeper water. The path of the dive can be modeled

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

48.06 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -16x^2 + 2x + 48

To find the maximum height we convert to vertex form:

= -16(x^2 + 1/8x) + 48

= -16[x + 1/16)^2 - 1/256] + 48

= -16(x + 1.16)^2 + 16/256 + 48

= 48.0625.
