Answer: 15.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).

Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.

First they reduce their time by t_1=2.1 minutes.

Then they are able to reduce that time by t_2=10

If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then

x-t_1-t_2=3.6\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+t_1+t_2\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+2.1+10\\\Rightarrow\ x= 15.7

Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

5/136

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the chance of an event happening.

Probability = (Favorable outcome)/(total outcome)

P(r and n) = 2/17 × 5/16

=(2 × 5)/(17 × 16)

= 10/272

= 5/136

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of an arc that is 1/4 of a circle of radius 70 ft is ...

  s = rθ

  s = (70 ft)(π/2) = 35π ft ≈ 109.9557 ft

The best answer choice appears to be 109.9 feet.

The first-, second-, and third-year enrollment values for a technical school are shown in the table below.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The solution to f(x) = t(x) is x = 2010

Option 3 is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first-year , second-year , and third-year enrollment values for a technical school are shown in the table below.

Year (x)      First Year f(x)      Second Year s(x)       Third Year t(x)

 2009              785                        756                           756

 2010               740                        785                           740

 2011                690                        710                            781

 2012               732                        732                            710

 2013                781                        755                            800

Now we will check each option.

Option 1: The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2,009

In year 2009, f(x)=s(x)

But 785≠756

Thus, False

Option 2: The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 785

x represents year, but 785 it no year

Thus, False

Option 3: The solution to f(x) = t(x) is x = 2010

In year 2010, f(x)=t(x)=740

But 740=740

Thus, True

Option 4: The solution to f(x) = t(x) is x =740

x represents year, but 740 it no year

Thus, False
