Answer:

The m∠D is 98° ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some facts in the circle

- The quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle if its four vertices lie on the

circumference of the circle

- It is called a cyclic quadrilateral

- Every two opposite angles in it are supplementary means the

sum of their measures is 180°

∵ ABCD is inscribed in a circle

∴ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

∵ ∠A and ∠C are opposite angles in the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD

∴ ∠A and ∠C are supplementary

∴ m∠A + m∠C = 180°

∵ m∠A = 64°

∵ m∠C = (9x - 1)°

∴ 64 + (9x - 1) = 180 ⇒ simplify

∴ 63 + 9x = 180 ⇒ subtract 63 from both sides

∴ 9x = 117 ⇒ divide both sides by 9

∴ x = 13

- Lets find the measure of ∠B

∵ m∠B = (6x + 4)°

∵ x = 13

∴ m∠B = 6(13) + 4 = 78 + 4 = 82°

- Lets find the measure of ∠D

∵ ∠B and ∠D are opposite angles in the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD

∴ ∠B and ∠D are supplementary

∴ m∠B + m∠D = 180°

∵ m∠B = 82°

∴ 82° + m∠D = 180° ⇒ subtract 82° from both sides

∴ m∠D = 98°

* The m∠D is 98°

The bat costs $50 but on clearance, it is an additional 30% off.

50 - (50x.3) = x
50 - 15 = x
35 = x
The sale price of the bat is $35.

Mia has a conical container filled with chocolates. She knows that the volume of the container is equal to one-third of the prod

34kurt

For this case what you should do is create the equation based on:
"She knows that the volume of the container is equal to one-third of the product, the square of the radius of the base of the container, and the height of the container"
We have then that the Volume is given by:
V = (1/3) * (r ^ 2) * (h)
where,
r: radius of the base.
h: height of the container.
answer
The volume of the container is calculated with the following equation:
V = (1/3) * (r ^ 2) * (h)

Suppose f(x)= x^2 and g(x)=(1/3x)^2 which statement best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x)

Leni [432]

The rules for linear transformations are that
g(x) = a·f(b·(x-c)) +d
stretches the graph vertically by a factor of "a" (before the shift)
compresses the graph horizontally by a factor of "b" (before the shift)
shifts it to the right by amount "c"
shifts it up by amount "d".

Your equation has b=1/3, so the graph is compressed by a factor of 1/3, which is equivalent to a stretch by a factor of 3.

The appropriate choice of description is ...
b) the graph of g(x) is horizontally stretched by a factor of 3

After traveling for 4 hours and 1800 miles, an airplane begins a steady descent. When it begins descending, its altitude (height

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Part 1) Descending Rate = -2,000 ft/min

Part 2) Starting altitude value is 33,000 ft

Part 3) The linear equation for the plane's altitude (y) as a function of time (x) is: $y=-2000\,\frac{ft}{min} \,x\,+\,33000\,ft$

Part 4) The information not used for the equation is that the plane was travelling for 4 hours to cover 1800 miles before starting the descent

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

The rate at which the airplane descends is given by the difference between final and initial altitude (17,000 ft-33,000 ft) divided the elapsed time (8 minutes):

$Descending\,\,Rate\,= \frac{17000-33000}{8} \,\,\frac{ft}{min}=\frac{-16000}{8} \,\,\frac{ft}{min}=-\,2000\,\,\frac{ft}{min}$

Part 2)

When graphing the descent (that is the plane's altitude as a function of time), the starting value for the altitude should be 33,000 ft

Part 3)

We can build the equation of the plane's altitude as a function of time in slope y-intercept form y = m x + b

by noticing that the slope "m" stands for the rate of descent that we found in part 1), and then using the information that at time zero (when the plane starts its descent), its altitude is 33000 ft:

$y=m\,x\,+\,b\\y=-2000\,\frac{ft}{min} \,x\,+\,b\\33000=-2000\,\frac{ft}{min} \,(0)\,+\,b\\33000=b$

with this information about the intercept "b", we can write the final expression for the plane's altitude as a function of time during its descent as:

$y=-2000\,\frac{ft}{min} \,x\,+\,33000\,ft$

Part 4)

The information that was not used to write the descent equation was the initial details about how long the plane traveled (4 hours) and for 1800 miles.
