A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, the ice starts to

melt. S(t)S(t) models the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) as a function of time tt (in weeks). S(t)=-0.25t+4S(t)=−0.25t+4 By how much does the sheet's thickness decrease every 66 weeks?

Answer: 1.5 meters


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a sheet of ice during the cold winter months. S

S(t) models the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) as a function of time t (in weeks) S(t)=-0.25t+4

if we put x=0, then

S(0)=-0.25(0)+4\\=4\ meters

So 4 meters is the initial thickness

To find the thickness after 6 weeks, put x=6 we get

S(6)=-0.25(6)+4\\=-1.5+4=2.5\ meters

Decrease in thickness every 6 weeks= 4-2.5=1.5\ meters

Ariel left her home at 9 a.m., driving at 45 mph. At 11 a.m. her brother left the home and started after her at 60 mph. At what
Vlada [557]

Answer:

5:00 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the umber of hours

y ----> the total distance in miles

we know that

The distance is equal to the speed multiplied by the time

Find out the distance traveled by Ariel at 11:00 am

11:00 am-09:00 am=2 hours

45(2)=90 miles

so

<em>Ariel's linear equation is</em>

y=45x+90 ----> equation A

<em>Ariel's brother linear equation is</em>

y=60x ----> equation B

Equate equation A and equation B

60x=45x+90

Solve for x

60x-45x=90

15x=90

x=6\ hours

Adds 11:00 am + 6 hours=17:00 =5:00 pm

See the attached picture. 

<span>you are given that ABCE is an isosceles trapezoid. </span>

<span>you are given that AB is parallel to EC. </span>

<span>this means that AE is congruent to BC. </span>

<span>you are given that AE and AD are congruent. </span>

<span>triangle EAD is an isosceles triangle because AE and AD are congruent. </span>

<span>this means that angle 1 is equal to angle 3. </span>

<span>since angle 1 is equal to angle 2 and angle 3 is equal to angle 1, then angle 3 is also equal to angle 2. </span>

<span>this means that AD and BC are parellel because their corresponding angles (angles 3 and 2) are equal. </span>

<span>since AB is parallel to EC and DC is part of the same line, than AB is parallel to DC. </span>

<span>you have AB parallel to DC and AD parallel to BC. </span>

<span>if opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. </span>

<span>that might be able to do it,depending on whether all these statements are acceptable without proof. </span>

<span>they are either postulates or theorems that have been previously proven. </span>

<span>if not, then you need to go a little deeper and prove some of the statements that you used.. </span>

here's my diagram. 

 

<span>this is not a formal proof, but should give you some ideas about how to proceed. </span>

<span>you can also prove that angle 4 is equal to angle 2 because they are alternate interior angles of parallel lines. </span>

Juli2301 [7.4K]
A = (1/2) * b * h
The base is 10; the x-value going from 0 to 10.
The perpendicular height is 2; the y-value going from 0 to 2
A = (1/2) * 10 * 2
A = 10 units ^2

An item regularly priced at $80 is on sale for 20% off. There is a 3% sales tax.
Katena32 [7]

Answer:$14.08 and the discount is $16

Step-by-step explanation:first you find 20% of 80 which is 16 and you subtract it from 80 which gives you 64 then you have to find 3% of 64 which is 1.92 and you add it to 64 which is 65.92 then to find how much you are saving you subtract 65.92 from 80 which is 14.08
