Mark and Sofia walk together down a long, straight road. They walk without stopping for 4 miles. At this point Sofia says their

displacement during the trip must have been 4 miles; Mark says their current position must be 4 miles. Who, if either, is correct? Explain.

Answer:

Sofia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark's statement depends on the starting point. He can be correct if they started at the 0 mile, but in this case we don't know where they started. They could had started at the 12 mile and their current position after the walking would be 16 miles.

On the other hand, Sofia's statement doesn't depend on where they started. She refers to how much they walked, not to where they are after the walking. Since they stopped after 4 non-stopping miles, their displacement was exactly 4 miles. So Sofia is correct.

NemiM [27]
Check the picture below.

is not very specific above, but sounds like it's asking for an equation for the trapezoid only, mind you, there are square tiles too.

but let's do the trapezoid area then, 

\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies  \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad
\sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}\implies a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=At\\
a=x\\
h=x\\
b=2x
\end{cases}\implies At=\cfrac{x(x+2x)}{2}
\\\\\\
At=\cfrac{x(3x)}{2}\implies At=\cfrac{3x^2}{2}\impliedby \textit{now, solving for \underline{x}}
\\\\\\
2At=3x^2\implies \cfrac{2At}{3}=x^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{2At}{3}}=x\implies \left( \frac{2At}{3} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}=x

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

6xy - 8x + 5y - 4z

Step-by-step explanation:

6xy - 20y + 7z - 8x + 25y - 11z

Group the ones with the variable first to make an equation:

6xy - 8x - 20y + 25y + 7z - 11z

Solve the equation

6xy - 8x +5y - 4z

The function f(x) = xπ−−√ gives the diameter, in inches, of a proposed spherical sculpture with a surface area of x square inche
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The average rate of change of f(x) = 3.14 inches⁻¹

The change in f(x) = 49.32 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the spherical sculpture = x and its diameter f(x) = πx.

The average rate of change of f(x) as x changes is df(x)/dx = π = 3.14

Now the change in diameter Δf(x) = df(x) = (df(x)/dx)dx = πdx  

dx = Δx = 28.3 in² - 12.6 in² = 15.7 in²

df(x) = π × 15.7 = 49.32 in
