Answer:

14.04 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is asking for Izumi's speed. The formula of speed is:

s = $\frac{d}{t}$ , where "s" means speed, "d" means distance and "t" means time.

The problem is also asking for the unit<u> miles per hou</u>r ( $\frac{miles}{hour}$ ) so, this means that we have to know how many miles Izumi ran, given that the problem only mentioned<u> yards (110 yards).</u>

Let's convert 110 yards to miles, provided that he Izumi ran 1,760 yards in a mile.

110 yards ÷ 1760 $\frac{yards}{mile}$ = 0.0625 miles (this is the distance covered by Izumi in miles)

Let's go back again to the formula: s = $\frac{d}{t}$

s = $\frac{0.0625 miles}{16 seconds}$ = 0.0039 $\frac{miles}{sec}$

Since, the we arrived at a miles per second unit, we have to convert it to miles per hour.

So, if a minute has 60 seconds, then an hour has 3,600 seconds.

Thus, 0.0039 $\frac{miles}{sec}$ × 3,600 $\frac{seconds}{hour}$ = 14.04 miles per hour (the answer)

The ratio of Dina's bathing suit to yana is 4:1, if Dina has 24 more bathing suits than yana, how many bathing suits does yana h

Thepotemich [5.8K]

I'd say Yana has 6...

30\ 6 is 5

the ratio range is a group inside 5..

so Dina has 30 swim suits...which is 5 times 6 of yana.

so since Dina has 24 "more" than yana... Dina is 4 : Yana is 1....4:1

The path of a race will be drawn on a coordinate grid like the one shown below. The starting point of the race will be at (−5.5,

Mazyrski [523]

A) the starting point is in quadrant Q because the x-value is negative, while the y-value is positive. The finishing point is in quadrant S because the x-value is positive, while the y-value is negative.
B) The points are connected by a straight line, so you don't have to wander off. By the way, the checkpoint is in Quadrant P.

If f(x)=x2+10sinx, show that there is a number c such that f(c)=1000.

gayaneshka [121]

F(x) is continuous for all x.

Pick a point and show that f(x) is either negative or positive. Pick another point and show that f(x) is negative, if positive, or positive, if negative.

At x = 30, f(30) - 1000 = 900 + 10sin(30) - 1000 ≤ 0
Now, show at another point f(x) - 1000 is positive, and hence, there would be root between 30 and such point.

Let's pick 40.
At x = 40, f(40) - 1000 = 1600 + 10sin(40) - 1000 ≥ 0

Since f(x) - 1000 is continuous, there lies a root between 30 and 40, and hence, 30 ≤ c ≤ 40

Define a function sinc(x) (pronounced "sink of x") by: text(sinc)(x)={(sin(x)/x text(if)\ x != 0, 1 text(if)\ x = 0.) (This func

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Taylor series of sinc(x) we will use the taylor series of sin(x). We have that

$\sin(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}$

which is the taylor series expansion based at 0. Then for $x\neq 0$ , by dividing both sidex by x, we have that

$\text{sinc}(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{x}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{(2n+1)!}$

which is the taylor series expansion for the sinc function. Since the series of sine converges for every value of x. Then the taylor series of sinc converges for every value of x, but 0.
