Answer:

The time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is 8,245,614.04 years which is over 8 million years

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed with which the pacific plate moved northward relative to the North American plate = 5.7 cm/year = 5.7 × 10⁻⁵ km/year

The distance between current LA and San Francisco = 470 km

From the formula for speed, s, we have

Speed = Distance/Time

Therefore, Time, t = Distance/Speed

The time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is given as follows;

t = (Distance between LA and San Francisco)/(The speed with which the pacific plate)

t = (470 km)/(5.7 cm/year) = 470/(5.7 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁾) = 8245614.04 years

Therefore, the time, t it will take LA and San Francisco to be next to each other is 8245614.04 years.

What is the area of a circle that has a radius of 5 meters
Xelga [282]

Answer:

78.55m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

General formula for the area of a circle is πr^2

π=3.12

r=5m

So let's apply the formula

3.142×(5)^2

3.142×25

78.55

So the area is 78.55m^2

Which of the following is the inverse of y=3x?
shtirl [24]

Answer-

<em>The inverse of y=3^x is </em>

\boxed{\boxed{y=\log_3 x}}

<u>Solution-</u>

The given function is,

y=3^x

We can get the inverse by interchanging he variable x and y among themselves and then separating each variables.

So in the inverse would be,

\Rightarrow x=3^y

Taking log of both sides,

\Rightarrow \log x=\log 3^y

As,

\log a^b=b\times \log a

Applying the same,

\Rightarrow \log x=y\times \log 3

\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{\log x}{\log 3}

As,

\log_b a=\dfrac{\log a}{\log b}

Applying the same,

\Rightarrow y=\log_3 x

Therefore, the inverse of y=3^x is y=\log_3 x.
