The music you hear when listening to a magnetic cassette tape is the result of the magnetic tape passing over magnetic heads, wh

ich read the magnetic information on the tape. The length of time a tape will play depends on the length of the tape and the operating speed of the tape player. The formula is T = L S , where T is the time in seconds, L is the length of the tape in inches, and S is the operating speed in inches per second. How long a tape does a police officer need to record a 3-minute confession at an operating speed of 4 1 2 inches per second?

Using the given formula T = LS

And given the time is 3 minutes (3 x 60 = 180 seconds)and the speed is 4-1/2 inches per second:

180 = L x 4-1/2

Solve for L by dividing both sides by 4-1/2:

L = 180 / 4-1/2

L = 40

The length should be 40 inches.

21. Randy owns a computer store. In 1990, he sold 150 monitors. In 2000, he sold 900

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

$y=75x+150$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $y$ represent the number of monitors sold.

Given:

$x$ is the number of years since 1990.

So, for the year 1990, $x=0$ .

For the year 2000, 10 years passed. So, $x=10$ .

Now, monitors sold in 1990 are 150. So, at $x=0,y=150$

Monitors sold in 2000 are 900. So, at $x=10,y=900$

Thus, the two points are $(0,150)$ and $(10,900)$ .

The slope of a line with points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given as:

Slope, $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

For the points $(0,150)$ and $(10,900)$ , the slope is given as:

Slope, $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\ m=\frac{900-150}{10-0}\\ m=75$

Now, the y-intercept is the point where $x=0$ . So, the point $(0,150)$ has $x$ value as 0.

So, the y-intercept is 150.

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given as:

$y=mx+b$

Where, $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y intercept.

Here, $m=75$ and $b=150$ .

Therefore, the equation that represents the above data is given as:

$y=75x+150$

A circle with radius of \greenD{4\,\text{cm}}4cmstart color #1fab54, 4, start text, c, m, end text, end color #1fab54 sits insid

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is $329.87\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

A circle with radius of 4cm sits inside a circle with a radius of 11cm. What is the area of the shaded region?

The shaded region is the area outside the smaller circle and inside the larger circle

we know that

To find out the shaded region subtract the area of the smaller circle from the area of the larger circle

so

$A=\pi r_a^{2} -\pi r_b^{2}$

simplify

$A=\pi (r_a^{2} -r_b^{2})$

where

r_a is the radius of the larger circle

r_b is the radius of the smaller circle

we have

$r_a=11\ cm\\r_b=4\ cm$

substitute

$A=\pi (11^{2} -4^{2})$

$A=\pi (105)\ cm^2$

assume

$\pi=3.1416$

substitute

$A=(3.1416)(105)=329.87\ cm^2$
