Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone.

Just then, he noticed a blur of motion on his left, and he turned and saw two Hazleton workers walking toward him. They weren't supposed to be in here! The area was supposed to be sealed off, but they had come in by another route that led through a storeroom. They wore respirators, but nothing covered their eyes. When they saw the two men in space suits, they froze, speechless. Jerry could not see their mouths, but he could see their eyes, wide with astonishment. It was as if they had suddenly discovered that they were standing on the moon.

What is the author’s main purpose for including this paragraph?

to inform readers about the location of the scene that is unfolding
to explain to readers that being a scientist can be exciting work
to entertain readers by illustrating how dramatic the situation is
to reassure readers that the situation was completely under control

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{\sf y = 6 \ cm} [/tex]

[tex] \boxed{\sf x = 25 \degree} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that JKLMN [tex] \sim [/tex] VWXYZ

So, from this we can say that:

JK [tex] \sim [/tex] VW & ∠LMN [tex] \sim [/tex] ∠XYZ

i.e.

(2y - 8) cm = 4 cm & 4x° = 5(x - 5)°

Solving for y:

⇒2y - 8 = 4

Adding 8 to both sides:

⇒2y - 8 + 8 = 4 + 8

-8 + 8 = 0:

⇒2y = 4 + 8

4 + 8 = 12:

⇒2y = 12

Dividing both sides by 2:

⇒[tex] \sf \dfrac{2y}{2} = \dfrac{12}{2} [/tex]

[tex] \sf \dfrac{2}{2} = 1: [/tex]

⇒y = [tex] \sf \dfrac{12}{2} [/tex]

[tex] \sf \dfrac{12}{2} = 6: [/tex]

⇒y = 6 cm

Solving for x:

⇒4x° = 5(x - 5)°

Expanding right hand ride expression:

⇒4x° = 5x° - 25°

Adding 25° to both sides:

⇒4x° + 25° = 5x° - 25° + 25°

25° - 25° = 0°:

⇒4x° + 25° = 5x°

⇒5x° = 4x° + 25°

Substracting 4x° from both sides:

⇒5x° - 4x° = 4x° - 4x° + 25°

4x° - 4x° = 0°:

⇒5x° - 4x° = 25°

5x° - 4x° = x°:

⇒x° = 25°

Answer:

I believe the answer is x=-2, and y=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: x-y=-5

Fill in: -2-3=-5

Calculate: -5=5

-------------------------------

Given: x+y=1

Fill in: -2+3=1

Calculate: 1=1

Answer:

x = -2.

y = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y=-5

x+y=1

From the first equation

x = y - 5

Substitute this in the second equation:

y - 5 + y = 1

2y = 1 + 5 = 6

y = 3.

Substitute this into the second equation:

x + 3 = 1

x = -2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming A, B, and C are collinear and B is beetween A and C

AB + BC  = AC

2x + 6 + 6x + 5 = 51

 8x + 11 = 51

    8x = 40

     x = 5

BC = 6x+5 = 6×5 + 5 = 35

They have same denominator but different numerator, hence they are different

Answer:  No

Step-by-step explanation:

No there are not since 3 times 7 = 21 and 9 times 3 = 27. The numbers that are used to multiply for the answers,  7 and 9, are not the same so therefore both ratios are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just subtract!

Answer:

no . of items = 10

Position of mean = (n+1)/2

                            = 11/2 = 5.5th item

In the data 5.5 item is the average of 5th and 6th item

median = (x+2+x+4)/2

or 25= (2x+6)/2

or 50 = 2x +6

0r 2x = 44

Answer:

X=23

Step-by-step explanation:

11,13,15,19,_,_,30,39,46

The middle number is the first dash which is represented by x+2 which is equal to 25

25-2=23 which is x

Dash 2 which is represented by x+4 is equal to 23+4=27

Answer:

Answer: (b) 7.8 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: You need to pay attention to the number -8.4. It says the temperature changed by +2.7 degrees an hour for 6 HOURS. Therefore, your equation would be -8.4 + (2.7 * 6).

You have to solve whats in the parenthesis first, so your equation would end up being -8.4 + 16.2 making your answer 7.8 degrees.

Answer:

214°

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc subtending an angle at the centre are equal, that is

arc ED = 90° and

arc DF = 360° - (90 + 146)° = 360° - 236° = 124°

Thus

arc EDF = arc ED + arc DF = 90° + 124° = 214°

Answer:

Two rays that share the same endpoint form an angle. The point where the rays intersect is called the vertex of the angle. The two rays are called the sides of the angle. An angle is also the space between the sides.

Answer: The scale factor of the triangle is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The correct option is;

[tex]The \ domain \ restriction \ x \geq \dfrac{17}{2} \ results \ in \ m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information is that m(x) = x² - 17·x

The above equation can be written in the form;

y = x² - 17·x

Therefore;

0 = x² - 17·x - y

From the general solution of a quadratic equation, 0 = a·x² + b·x + c we have;

[tex]x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}[/tex]

By comparison to the equation,0 = x² - 17·x - y, we have;

a = 1, b = -17, and c = -y

Substituting the values of a, b and c into the formula for the general solution of a quadratic equation, we have;

[tex]x = \dfrac{-(-17)\pm \sqrt{(-17)^{2}-4\times (1) \times (-y)}}{2\times (1)} = \dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}}{2}[/tex]

Which can be simplified as follows;

[tex]x = \dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}}{2}= \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \dfrac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}} = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{289}{4} +\dfrac{4\cdot y}{4} }}[/tex]

And further simplified as follows;

[tex]x = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{289}{4} +y }} = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{y + \dfrac{289}{4} }}[/tex]

Interchanging x and y in the function of the inverse, m⁻¹(x), we have;

[tex]m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }}[/tex]

We note that the maximum or minimum point of the function, m(x) = x² - 17·x found by differentiating the function and equating the result to zero, gives;

m'(x) = 2·x - 17 = 0

x = 17/2

Similarly, the second derivative is taken to determine if the given point is a maximum or minimum point as follows;

m''(x) = 2 > 0, therefore, the point is a minimum point on the graph

Therefore, as x increases past the minimum point of 17/2, m⁻¹(x) increases to give;

[tex]The \ domain \ restriction \ x \geq \dfrac{17}{2} \ results \ in \ m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }}[/tex] to increase m⁻¹(x) above the minimum.

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

edge 2021

Rotating CD 180 degrees around the point D would mean rotating it to the other side of D, in other words, rotating it clockwise. The new line would be D->M->C

Rotating CD 180 degrees around the point E would mean rotating it clockwise till "E" is a point of the line. The new line would be E->M->D.

Rotating CD 180 degrees would keep the line in the same position right now but with CD being in different order. The new line would be D->M->C.

Best of Luck!
