A beetle is down in the ground and he digs down to find an ant. A beetle starts at 2 inches below ground level. The beetle digs

down 1/3 of the distance, d, that the ant is below ground level. The beetle is now at 4 inches below ground level. What is the distance, d, the ant is below ground level? (a) Write an equation that best represents how to find the distance that the ant is below ground level. (b) Solve the equation from part (a). Show your work. What is the distance, d, that the ant is below ground level? ​

Answer:

1 - (1/3 x 2) = 4 inches (The equation may not be exactly correct but the answer of 4 inches is.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The beetle has 4 inches, 2 of which it already had before hand.

4 - 2 = 2

1/3 distance that the ant is would be 2 inches, so then you would find the number that 2 is one third of.

1/3 = 2/6

1 - 2/6 = 4/6

The ant is 4 inches below ground level.

mart [117]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

a = -1, and b = 1.

-1x^2 + 1x + c = 0

-x^2 + x + c = 0

Hope this helps!

Answer:

#1

<u>Sum of interior angles is 180:</u>

  • y = 180 - (42 + 31) = 107

<u>The law of sines:</u>

  • x / sin 107 = 11 / sin 42
  • x = 11 sin 107deg / sin 42deg
  • x = 15.72

#2

<u>The law of cosines:</u>

  • cos 76  = (6² + 17² - x² )/2(6)(17)
  • 204*0.24 = 325 - x²
  • x² = 325 - 48.96
  • x² = 276.04
  • x = √276.04
  • x = 16.61

#3

<u>Same as above:</u>

  • 2*9.4*10*cos 20 = (10² + 9.4² - x²)
  • 176.66 = 188.36 - x²
  • x² = 188.36 - 176.66
  • x² = 11.7
  • x = √11.7
  • x = 3.42

#4

<u>Sum of interior angles is 180:</u>

  • y = 180 - (52 + 94) = 34

<u>The law of sines:</u>

  • x / sin 34 = 15 / sin 94
  • x = 15 sin 34  / sin 94
  • x = 8.41
