Sloan the sloth crawls at $100$ meters per hour when crawling uphill, $120$ meters per hour when crawling across flat ground, an

d $150$ meters per hour when crawling downhill. One day, Sloan crawls across the forest floor from a tree stump to a spring, and then takes the same route in reverse to return to the tree stump. What was Sloan's average speed during the entire round trip?

Answer:

<h3>246.6 meters per hour</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Speed uphill 100meters per hour

Speed on flat ground 120 meters per hour

Speed uphill  150 meters per hour.

Required

The average speed.

Step two:

To get the average speed, let us add all the individual speeds and divide by 3(three different speeds), then multiply the result by 2(the return trip)

Average speed= (100+120+150)*2/3

Average speed= 740/3

Average speed=  246.6 meters per hour

Use exponential form to evaluate log8(2)
maks197457 [2]
<span>Logarithm form is another way to express a number in exponential (exp.) form. log 8 (2) is the same as 8 (x) = 2 or in words, eight with exp. x equals two. If we take that equation and cube both sides, or raise each side to the power of 3, [8 (x)] with exp. 3 = 2 with exp. 3. This simplifies to 8 (3x) = 8. By definition, 8 is the same as 8 with exp. 1. So the equation is now 8 (3x) = 8 (1). This means 3x = 1. We can simplify to x = 1/3.</span>

Two of the steps in the derivation of the quadratic formula are shown below. Step 6: StartFraction b squared minus 4 a c Over 4
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the step given step 6

(b² — 4ac) / 4a² = (x + b/2a)²

Mistake in question it is (x + b/2a)²

Step 7 given

±√(b² —4ac) /2a = x + b/2a

Mistake in question it is over 2a and not 1a.

1. The step taken from step 6 to step 7 is taking square roots of both sides

(b² — 4ac) / 4a² = (x + b/2a)²

Taking square of both sodes

√(b²—4ac) / √4a² = √(x + b/2a)²

√(b²—4ac) / 2a = x + b/2a

This is the required step 7.

Now, subtracting b/2a from both sides

√(b²—4ac) / 2a - b/2a= x + b/2a -b/2a

√(b²—4ac) / 2a — b/2a = x

(√(b²—4ac)  — b)/2a = x

x = [—b ± √(b²—4ac)] / 2a

So, this is the required formula method

The discriminant is D = b²—4ac.

BigorU [14]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

She can determine that while there is an association between the variables, there is no correlation, and she cannot determine causation.

Explanation:

Since there is an arch shape to her graph, we know that as one variable changes, the other changes in the same manner. This means there is an association between the variables.

However, since the graph is not linear, there is no correlation between the variables. Since there is no correlation, we cannot determine causation.
