A sailfish is swimming after a herring in a straight line at 11.8 m/s and begins to accelerate at 6.39 m/s². How long does it take for the sailfish to reach the herring if it is 55.0 m away?
(unit=s)

Answers

Initial velocity=11.8m/s=uAcceleration=a=6.39m/s²Distance=s=55mTime be t

According to second equation of kinematics

s=ut+1/2at²55=11.8t+1/2(6.39)t²110=23.6t+6.39t²6.39t²+23.6t-110=0

Take positive value

t=2.7s

Answer:

2.7 s  (1 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Constant Acceleration Equations where:

s = displacement in metersu = initial speed in m/sv = final speed in m/sa = acceleration in m/s²t = time in s (seconds)

Given:

s = 55 mu = 11.8 m/sa = 6.39 m/s²

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Using }s & =ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\implies 55 & =11.8t+\dfrac{1}{2}(6.39)t^2\end{aligned}[/tex]

Rearrange the equation to equal zero:

[tex]\implies 3.195t^2+11.8t-55=0[/tex]

Quadratic Formula

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\quad\textsf{when }\:ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

Use the quadratic equation to solve for t:

[tex]\implies a=3.195, \quad b=11.8, \quad c=-55[/tex]

[tex]\implies t=\dfrac{-11.8 \pm \sqrt{11.8^2-4(3.195)(-55)} }{2(3.195)}[/tex]

[tex]\implies t=2.694780675, -6.388051411[/tex]

As time is positive:

Answers

(a) If [tex]\alpha[/tex] and [tex]\beta[/tex] are roots of [tex]f(x)[/tex], then we can factorize [tex]f[/tex] as

[tex]f(x) = x^2 + (k - 6) x + 9 = (x - \alpha) (x - \beta)[/tex]

Expand the right side and match up coefficients:

[tex]x^2 + (k-6) x + 9 = x^2 - (\alpha + \beta) x + \alpha \beta \implies \begin{cases} \alpha + \beta = -(k-6) \\ \alpha \beta = 9 \end{cases}[/tex]

Now, recall that [tex](x+y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2[/tex]. It follows that

[tex]\boxed{\alpha^2 + \beta^2} = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta = (-(k-6))^2 - 2\times9 = \boxed{k^2 - 12k + 18}[/tex]

and

[tex]\boxed{\alpha^2\beta^2} = 9^2 = \boxed{81}[/tex]

(b) If [tex]9(\alpha^2+\beta^2) = 2\alpha^2\beta^2[/tex], then

[tex]9 (k^2 - 12k + 18) = 2\times81 \implies 9k^2 - 108k = 0 \implies 9k (k - 12) = 0[/tex]

Since [tex]k\neq0[/tex], it follows that [tex]\boxed{k=12}[/tex].

(c) The simplest quadratic expression with roots [tex]\frac1{\alpha^2}[/tex] and [tex]\frac1{\beta^2}[/tex] is

[tex]\left(x - \dfrac1{\alpha^2}\right) \left(x - \dfrac1{\beta^2}\right)[/tex]

which expands to

[tex]x^2 - \left(\dfrac1{\alpha^2} + \dfrac1{\beta^2}\right) x + \dfrac1{\alpha^2\beta^2}[/tex]

Reusing the identity from (a-i) and the result from part (b), we have

[tex]\left(\dfrac1\alpha + \dfrac1\beta\right)^2 = \dfrac1{\alpha^2} + \dfrac2{\alpha\beta} + \dfrac1{\beta^2} \\\\ \implies \dfrac1{\alpha^2} + \dfrac1{\beta^2} = \left(\dfrac{\alpha + \beta}{\alpha\beta}\right)^2 - \dfrac2{\alpha\beta} = \left(\dfrac{-(k-6)}9\right)^2 - \dfrac29 = \dfrac29[/tex]

We also know from part (a-ii) that [tex]\alpha^2\beta^2=81[/tex].

So, the simplest quadratic that fits the description is

[tex]x^2 - \dfrac29 x + \dfrac1{81}[/tex]

To get one with integer coefficients, we multiply the whole expression by 81 to get [tex]\boxed{81x^2 - 18x + 1}[/tex].

y equals thirteen fifths times x and y equals negative thirteen fifths times x

Answers

Answer:

  (a)  y = 5/12x and y = -5/12x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of a hyperbola 25x² – 144y² + 3,600 = 0, you want the equations of the asymptotes.

Standard form

Dividing by 3600 and doing a little rearrangement, we have ...

  (y/5)² -(x/12)² = 1 . . . . . standard form equation of a hyperbola

Asymptotes

The equation of the asymptotes is ...

  (y/5)² -(x/12)² = 0

Solving for y gives ...

  (y/5)² = (x/12)²

  y/5 = ±x/12 . . . . . . take the square root

  y = ±5/12·x . . . . . . . matches the first choice

Additional comment

The equation of a hyperbola with vertices on the y-axis is often written as ...

  y²/a² -x²/b² = 1

How do you write 16/25 as a percentage?

Answers

Answer:

64%

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 16/25 to Percentage by Converting to Decimal

With this method, we first need to divide the numerator by the denominator:

16 ÷ 25 = 0.64

Once we have the fraction in a decimal format, the answer is then multiplied by 100 to get the correct percentage:

0.64 × 100 = 64%

We can see that this gives us the exact same answer as the first method: 16/25 as a percentage is 64%.

Note, the final percentage is rounded to 2 decimal places to make the answer simple to read and understand.

A

False
P
Given the diagram as marked.
True or False: P is on the angle bisector of A

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

P is not necessarily on the angle bisector of angle A.

Attached is an example of a carefully constructed shape (so that it's easy to see the measurements):

Angle A measures 45° (again, for convenience)Point P is 4 units to the right of and 3 units above point A.Point P forms a right angle with two congruent line segments, each of which terminate on the rays extending from Point A, forming angle A.The lower point is 8 units to the right of point A;  the upper point is 7 units to the right of and 7 units above point A.The length of the two line segments is 5 units, and thus they are congruent.

Visually, point P is not on the angle bisector of angle A.

While having two adjacent congruent segments is necessary for P to be on the bisector of angle A, it is not sufficient.  The segments on the rays from A to the end of those segments would also need to be a pair of congruent adjacent sides (forming a kite).  For a kite, the diagonal from the point between one pair of adjacent congruent sides to the point between the other pair of adjacent congruent sides does form an angle bisector with both angles.

an airplane that is flying at an altitude of 30 000 ft is beginning to descend at a rate of 1000 feet per minute. a helicopter is beginning its trip, starting at an altitude of zero feet. the helicopter ascends more slowly than the airplane, going up at a rate of 500 feet per minute. after how many minutes will the airplane and the helicopter be at the same altitude

Answers

Based on the altitudes of both the airplane and the helicopter, the number of minutes until they are at the same altitude is 20 minutes.

When will the airplane and helicopter be at the same altitude?

Assuming the minute both will be on the same altitude is x, the altitude that the airplane would be at that point is:

= 30,000 - 1,000x

The helicopter's altitude would be:

= 0 + 500x

Putting them together gives:

30,000 - 1,000x = 500x

30,000 = 1,500x

x = 30,000 / 1,500

A tank weighs 5.6kg when it 1/4 filled with water.If it weighs 10.4kg when it is full ,what will be it's weight when it is empty.​

Answers

Answer:

4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

so 1.6 * 4 is 6.4 so you just double check if you want

4 + 1.6 which is 1/4 of 6.4 will be 5.6 (matches with the question)

4 + (1.6*4) (indicates it's full) = 10.4( also Matches with the question)

there is another way by setting up an equation. let me know in comments if you want to see it that way

If  tank weighs 5.6kg when it 1/4 filled with water. If it weighs 10.4kg when it is full , then weight when it is empty is 0.93kg

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

Given,

A tank weighs 5.6kg when it 1/4 filled with water

Tank weighs 10.4kg when it is full

We need to find the weight when it is empty.​

Let weight of the tank “x” and the weight of the water in the full tank “y”.

From the problem statements, we deduce the following equations:

x + y/4 = 5.6kg => x = 5.6kg - y/4

x + y = 10.4kg => y = 10.5kg - x

y = 10.5kg - (5.6kg - y/4)

3y/4 = 4.9

Thus y = 6.53kg; x = 0.93kg

Hence, weight of the tank when it is empty is 0.93kg.
