Which equation can be used to find x, the number of feet the dolphin traveled with each kick?

Answers

Answer 1

Complete question :

A dolphin starts at an elevation of -16 3/4 feet. He kicks 5 times and increases his elevation by the same amount for each kick. He is now at an elevation of -5 1/4 feet. Which equation can be used to find x, the number of feet the dolphin traveled with each kick?

Answer:

2 3/10 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial elevation = - 16 3/4 feets

Number of kicks = 5

Increase in elevation is the same for each kick

Final elevation = - 5 1/4 feets

Number of feets, x, dolphin travels per kick ;

Total elevation achieved after 5 kicks : ; change in elevation

Final elevation - initial elevation

16 3/4 - 5 1/4

67 /4 - 21/4

(67 - 21) / 4

= 46/4

Since change in elevation per kick is the same;

Number of feets traveled per kivk is ;

x = 46/4 ÷ 5/1

x = 46/4 * 1/5

x = (46*1) / (4*5)

x = 46/20

x = 2 6/20 = 2 3/10

Dolphin travels 2 3/10 feets per kick

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

If the quadrilateral below is a rhombus, find the missing measures.

MK = 24, JL = 20, and mZMJL = 50°

Solution:

A rhombus is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) such that all the sides are of equal length.

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other.

NK = MK / 2 (diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other)

NK = 24 / 2 = 12

NL = JL / 2 (diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other)

NL = 20 / 2 = 10

In triangle MNL, ∠N = 90°

MN = NK = 12 , NL = 10. Using Pythagorean theorem:

ML² = MN² + NL²

ML² = 12² + 10²

ML² = 244

ML = √244

ML = 2√61 = 15.62

JM = ML  = 15.62 (all sides of a rhombus are equal)

∠KNL = 90° (diagonals are perpendicular bisectors)

∠KJL = ∠MJL (diagonals bisect angles)

∠KJL = 50°

∠MJK = ∠KJL + ∠MJL = 50 + 50 = 100°

∠MJK = ∠MLK (opposite angles are equal)

∠MLK = 100°

∠NJK + ∠JNK + ∠JKM = 180° (sum of angles in triangle)

50 + 90 + ∠JKM = 180

∠JKM = 40°

∠JKL = 2 * ∠JKM (diagonal bisect angle)

∠JKL = 2 * 40

∠JKL = 80°

∠JKL = ∠JML (opposite angles are equal)

∠JML = 80°

Find the 9th term.

Answers

Answer:

The 9th term of the sequence is:

[tex]a_9=\frac{65536}{6561}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

1, 4/3,16/9

computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

[tex]\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{1}=\frac{4}{3},\:\quad \frac{\frac{16}{9}}{\frac{4}{3}}=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

[tex]r=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

As

[tex]a_1=1[/tex][tex]r=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

so substituting [tex]a_1=1[/tex] and [tex]r=\frac{4}{3}[/tex] in the nth term of the equation

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_n=\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

Now, substitute n = 9 to determine the 9th term

[tex]a_9=\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^{9-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_9=\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^8[/tex]

[tex]a_9=\frac{4^8}{3^8}[/tex]

[tex]a_9=\frac{65536}{6561}[/tex]

Therefore, the 9th term of the sequence is:

[tex]a_9=\frac{65536}{6561}[/tex]

For what values of x and y are the triangles to
the right congruent by HL?

Answers

Answer:

x = 12, y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangles to be congruent by HL , then

x = y + 8 → (1)

4y = x + 4 → (2)

Substitute x = y + 8 into (2)

4y = y + 8 + 4

4y = y + 12 ( subtract y from both sides )

3y = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into (1)

x = 4 + 8 = 12

Melanie is buying soft drink cans for the work fridge. In the shopping catalogue, she sees a 10 can

If you buy the 10-pack you pay 60 cents per can ($6.00 / 10 cans = .60/can). If you buy the 24-pack, you pay more than 66 cents per can ($15.96 / 24 cans = .665/can). So it is cheaper to buy the 10-pack (60 cents vs. 66 cents for each can)

What is the value of q in the solution to this system of equations?
2m - 5q= 8
4m + 2q = 64

Answers

Answer: I’m guessing 9

Step-by-step explanation:

fvccckkk school lol

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

2m - 5q = 8

4m + 2q = 64

The value of q in the solution to the equations is 4.

What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Example:

2x + 3 = 4 is an equation.

2X = 4 is an equation.

We have,

2m - 5q = 8 ____(1)

4m + 2q = 64 _____(2)

From (1) we get,

2m = 8 + 5q

Divide both sides by 2.

m = (8 + 5q)/2 ______(3)

Now,

Putting (3) in (2) we get,

4m + 2q = 64

4/2 (8 + 5q) + 2q = 64

2 (8 + 5q) + 2q = 64

16 + 10q + 2q = 64

16 + 12q = 64

12q = 64 - 16

q = 48/12

q = 4

Now,

q = 4 in (3) we get,

m = (8 + 5q) / 2

m = (8 + 5 x 4) / 2

m = (8 + 20) / 2

m = 28 / 2

m = 14

Thus,

The value of q in the solution to the equations is 4.

The ratio of males to females at a party is 3 : 5

There are 12 more females than males.

How many people are at the party?

Answers

if there are 12 more females and the ratio is two up in favour of females that means that 1 equals to 6, so there are 30 females and 18 males. (30 + 18 = 48)

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio of males to females at a party is 3 : 5.

Let the numbers of males and females be 3x and 5x respectively.

According to the given description:

No of females = No of males + 13

Therefore,

5x = 3x + 12

5x - 3x = 12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

No of people at the party

= 3x + 5x

= 8x

= 8*6

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Answer:46.21

Step-by-step explanation:t/42.99 = 7.5/100.

Butterfly method

42.99 x 7.5 = 322.42 divided by 100= 3.22 plus 42.99 = 46.21etc

The total cost for the sweatshirt is $46.21.

What is a percentage?

A ratio or value that may be stated as a fraction of 100 is called a percentage. And it is represented by the symbol '%'.

Given:

Ryan wants to buy a sweatshirt for $42.99.

The sale tax rate in his city is 7[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]%.

Converting mixed fraction to improper fraction,

7[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 15/2

Let n + 42.99 be the total cost of the sweatshirt.

n = 15/2 x 42.99 / 100

n = 322.425 / 100

n = 3.22

n + 42.99 = 46.21  to the nearest cent.

Therefore, the cost with sales tax is $46.21.

Answers

Answer:

the length and width be 13.33 feet and 34.67 feet respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume the width be x

So, the length be 2x + 8

As we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

96 = 2(2x + 8 + x)

96 = 4x + 16 + 2x

96 - 16 = 6x

80 = 6x

x = 80 ÷ 6

= 13.33 feet

So, the length would be

= 2 × 13.33 + 8

= 34.67 feet

Hence, the length and width be 13.33 feet and 34.67 feet respectively

Answers

Answer:

a. $70

b. $(40 + 10x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard cost of the charges is $40 per month but an extra $10 per GB over the included amount.

a. Firstly the cost for a month in which he uses 3GB over the limit

we have a standard of $40, then he has to pay $10 per GB for the 3GB over the limit.

Thus the cost of the 3GB is $10 * 3 = $30

The total cost for using 3GB above the limit would be $40 + $30 = $70

b. For using x GB above the limit

He has to pay $10 per each GB above the limit

Thus, the amount to be paid for x GB above the limit would be x * $10 = $10x

So the total amount to be paid would be the base fee plus over the limit fee= $(40 + 10x)

Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government. . . . The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her.
