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.

Given: F(x) = 3x^2+1, G(x) = 2x - 3, H(X) = x<br> Find F(x) + G(x) =
weqwewe [10]

F(x)+G(x)=3x^2+2x-2.

Solution:

Given data: F(x)=3x^2+1 and G(x)=2x-3

To find F(x) + G(x):

Adding two functions which gives another function.

Substitute F(x) and G(x), we get

F(x)+G(x)=(3x^2+1)+(2x-3)

                    =3x^2+1+2x-3

                    =3x^2+2x-3+1

                    =3x^2+2x-2

F(x)+G(x)=3x^2+2x-2

Hence, F(x)+G(x)=3x^2+2x-2.

How long does it take $150 to grow to $600 at 5% annual percentage rate compounded continously? Round to the nearest whole numbe
kakasveta [241]

Or, if your money is earning a 5 percent interest rate, you'll double it in 14.4 years (72 divided by 5 equals 14.4). If your money is earning a measly 1 percent interest rate, it will take you—yep, you guessed it—a whopping 72 years to double it.

The hypotenuse of a 30o-60o-90o triangle measures 4 square 3 inches. What is the length of the shorter leg?
Fofino [41]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The shorter leg is 2\sqrt{3} inches

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

The 30°-60°-90° is a special type of right-angled triangles

<u>It has the following special side length:</u>

The length of the side opposite to the 30° is \frac{1}{2} the length of the hypotenuse

The length of the side opposite to the 60° is \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} of the hypotenuse

<u>Now, we know that</u> the lengths of the sides in a triangle are proportional to the angles

<u>This means that</u> the shortest side will be the one opposite to the smallest angles

In our case, the shortest side will be the one opposite to the 30° angle

We are given that the hypotenuse of the triangle is 4\sqrt{3} in

<u>From the above:</u>

Shorter leg = leg opposite to 30° = \frac{1}{2} * hypotenuse = \frac{1}{2} * 4\sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{2} inches

Hope this helps :)
