50/X = 40/100

50 × 100 = 40 × X

5000 = 40X

5000/40 = 40X/40

125 = X

X= 125

the equation is
is/of %/100

50 = is
40 = %
X = of
100 = 100

50 X 100 = 5,000
40 X x = 40x

40x / 40 = x
5,000 / 40 = 125

SO... x = 125

For a certain model of car the distance d required to stop the vehicle if it is traveling at v mi/h is given by the formula d =

enyata [817]

Given that For a certain model of car the distance $d$ required to stop the vehicle if it is traveling at $v$ mi/h is given by the formula $d=v+\frac{v^2}{20}, where [tex]d$ is measured in feet.

If Kerry wants her stopping distance not to exceed 75 ft, then the range of speeds (in mi/h) can she travel is obtained as follows:

$v+ \frac{v^2}{20} \leq75 \\ \\ 20v+v^2\leq1,500 \\ \\ v^2+20v+100\leq1,500+100 \\ \\ (v+10)^2\leq1,600 \\ \\ |v+10|\leq\sqrt{1,600} \\ \\ -40\leq v+10\leq40 \\ \\ -40-10\leqv\leq v\leq40-10 \\ \\ -50\leq v\leq30$

Therefore, the range of speed she can travel is $v\leq30\ mi/hr$

Is this proportion true 12/15=47/50 16/36=12/27 15/20=24/26 or 4/16=2/14

jekas [21]

For 12/15=47/50, we multiply 12/15 by (1/3)/(1/3) to get 4/5. For 47/50, we multiply it by (1/10)/(1/10) to get the same denominator and 4/7/5. They are not equal.

For 16/36 and 12/27, we'll notice that 36 and 27 are both multiples of 9, so we need to get that as the denominator! Multiply 16/36 by (1/4)/(1/4) because 9 goes into 36 4 times and 12/27 by (1/3)/(1/3) due to that 27 goes into 9 3 times, we get 4/9=4/9 - these are equal!

I challenge you to get the rest of them on your own using my techniques!

Use the polynomial 3x^2−4x^11+4x^4−2x^10−5+^8x^8 to answer the question.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² - 4x¹¹ + 4x⁴ - 2x¹⁰ - 5 + 8x⁸

To find the degree, look for the largest exponent. 11

If you put this polynomial in standard form (from largest to smallest exponent), the first term will give you the degree of the polynomial and the leading coefficient.

- 4x¹¹ - 2x¹⁰ + 8x⁸ + 4x⁴ + 3x² - 5
