Tems11 [23]

Answer:

y = 3/8x

or

3/8 cups of sugar for every 1/2 batch of muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are only making 1/2 of the full batch of muffins, we only need to use 1/2 the cups of sugar:

\frac{3}{4} (\frac{1}{2} )= \frac{3}{8} cups of sugar.

State the size of angle OAB, giving a reason for your answer
Alja [10]

Answer:

Angle OAB = 90°

Reason: tangent theorem of a circle

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram given shows a tangent line of the given circle with center O. The tangent touches the circle at point A.

The diagram also shows the radius of the circle, OA, drawn from the center to the circle to meet at the point of tangency.

Thus, according to the Tangent Theorem of a circle, the point at which the radius drawn from the center meets the point of tangency = 90°. The tangent is perdendicular to the radius drawn to meet at the point of tangency.

Therefore, angle OAB = 90°

The speed of a sparrow is x km/h in still air. When the
Semmy [17]

Answer:

x = 5m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance flying out = 12 km  (headwind)

Distance flying back = 12 km (tailwind)

total distance = 12 + 12 =24 km

wind speed = 1km/h

speed going out (with headwind) = (x - 1) km/h

speed coming back (with tailwind) = (x + 1) km/h

Time taken to go out = distance going out / speed going out

= 12 / (x-1)

Time taken to come back = distance coming back / speed coming back

= 12 / (x+1)

total time = time taken to go out + time taken to come back

5 =[ 12/(x-1) ] + [ 12/(x-1)]

expanding this, we will get

5x² - 24x - 5 = 0

solving quadratic equation, we will get

x = -1/5 (impossible because speed cannot be negative)

or

x = 5 (answer)

Which function has the domain x>or= -11
iogann1982 [59]
I'm assuming this is multiple choice and you forgot to post the answers. I'll take a guess and say it probably looks something like this:
y = \sqrt{x + 11}
Because you can't take the square root of a negative number without getting an imaginary result, resulting in the function having a closed domain limit.
