Answer:

Neither are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of legs = the number of ants * 6.

The relationship is L = 6 a so neither are correct.

Answer: Both equations are incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ants have 6 legs:

The equation of Elena is:

a = 6*L

where a is ants and L is legs.

this equation says that are equal number of ants tan 6 times the number of legs, this is is not the case;

the number of legs is six times the number of ants, because each ant has 6 legs: L =6*a

the Andre equation is:

L = 0.166*a

Which, again, it is incorrect.

in this case the equation should be:

a = 0.166*L

and the ratio of ants to legs is 1:6 wich means that there is one ant for each 6 legs.

Both options are incorrect

∆ABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit to the left. Then it is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to form ∆A′B′C′.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The coordinates of image are A'(-2,1), B'(1,0) and C'(-1,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure it is clear that the coordinates of triangle are A(0,0), B(1,3) and C(1,1).

∆ABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit to the left.

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x-1,y-2)$

$A(0,0)\rightarrow (0-1,0-2)=(-1,-2)$

$B(1,3)\rightarrow (1-1,3-2)=(0,1)$

$C(1,1)\rightarrow (1-1,1-2)=(0,-1)$

Then it is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to form ∆A′B′C′.

$(x,y)\rightarrow (y,-x)$

$(-1,-2)\rightarrow A'(-2,1)$

$(0,1)\rightarrow B'(1,0)$

$(0,-1)\rightarrow C'(-1,0)$

Therefore the coordinates of image are A'(-2,1), B'(1,0) and C'(-1,0).

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

A) The probability is 0.95 that the percent of adults living in the United States who are satisfied with their health care plans is between 63.6% and 68.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polling agency reported that 66 percent of adults living in the United States were satisfied with their health care plans. The estimate was taken from a random sample of 1,542 adults living in the United States, and the 95 percent confidence interval for the population proportion was calculated as (0.636, 0.684).

This means that we are 95% sure that the true proportion of adults living in the United States who were satisfied with their health care plans is between 0.636 and 0.684.

So the correct answer is:

A) The probability is 0.95 that the percent of adults living in the United States who are satisfied with their health care plans is between 63.6% and 68.4%.

a ball is thrown with a slingshot at a velocity of 110ft/sec at an angle of 20 degrees above the ground from a height of 4.5 ft.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$t=2.47\ s$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that models the height of the ball in feet as a function of time is

$h(t) = h_0 + s_0t -16t ^ 2$

Where $h_0$ is the initial height, $s_0$ is the initial velocity and t is the time in seconds.

We know that the initial height is:

$h_0 = 4.5\ ft$

The initial speed is:

$s_0 = 110sin(20\°)\\\\s_0 = 37.62\ ft/s$

So the equation is:

$h (t) = 4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2$

The ball hits the ground when when $h(t) = 0$

So

$4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2 = 0$

We use the quadratic formula to solve the equation for t

For a quadratic equation of the form

$at^2 +bt + c$

The quadratic formula is:

$t=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}$

In this case

$a= -16\\\\b=37.62\\\\c=4.5$

Therefore

$t=\frac{-37.62\±\sqrt{(37.62)^2 -4(-16)(4.5)}}{2(-16)}$

$t_1=-0.114\ s\\\\t_2=2.47\ s$

We take the positive solution.

Finally the ball takes 2.47 seconds to touch the ground

A dolphin is 42 feet underwater and ascends at a constant rate for 14 seconds until it reaches the surface. Identify and interpr

Cloud [144]

Ok so, based on the graph lets say that x = seconds and y = depth of dolphin. the interception in both points is when they are at 0 i.e when x is equals 0 and y equals 0. So At 0 seconds, the dolphin is 42 feet below the surface. So we say that x = 0, y = -42 and then the y intercepts = -42 so the point of interception is(0 (seconds),-42(depth of the dolphin)) When the clock says it's 14 seconds, the dolphin is even with the surface (0 below the surface this time). So we say that x = 14, y = 0. In this case The x intercept = 14 (14,0). But we need to calculate The slope with the formula= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = 42/14 = 3. Therefore, the formula for this line is y = 3x - 42.
