To solve this question, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Since 1 yard equals 36 inches, to convert 50 yards to inches involves:

(50)(36)=1800in

2. If he is standing 50 yards away from the school, and the map indicates that the school is 34 inches away from him, when it shows 3 inches the actual distance is:

\frac{(1800in)(3in)}{34in}=158.82in

3. If you express this back in yards:

\frac{158.82}{36} =4.41 yd

Consequently, the answer is: 158.82 inches or 4.41 yards.

The real distance from Harper to the school is 50 yards.

As per the map, the distance from the school is represented as 34 inches.

This indicates that 34 inches equates to 50 yards.

Hence, 1 inch equals 50/34 = 25/17 yards.

To calculate the actual distance of 3 inches in yards, we multiply the yard value of 1 inch by 3.

Thus, 3 inches results in 3* 25/17 = 75/17 = 4 7/17 yards, which is approximately 4.412 yards in decimal form.

Consequently, the distance from Harper's home is 4 7/17 yards or approximately 4.412 yards if the map indicates 3 inches.

Which is true regarding the graphed function f(x)?
AnnZ [12381]

Explanation:

Hello! Please remember to formulate complete questions to receive accurate answers. I will assume that the depicted function derives from:

f(x)=\left(x-4\right)^{2}+5

This describes the equation of a parabola that opens upwards, with its vertex positioned at:

V(4,5)

The graph below illustrates this function. What is true about the graphed function f(x)?

  • It is accurate that the domain consists of all real numbers, as this is a polynomial function.

  • It is also correct that the range includes all real numbers where y ≥ 5

  • It is indeed true that this parabola opens upwards

  • It is valid to say it does not intersect the x-axis

Do the political leanings of a network affect the news they report? During the the 2018-2019 Government shutdown, a left-leaning
PIT_PIT [12445]
Answer: 504 Step-by-step explanation: To find the result for the left-leaning poll, Total voters = 900 + 1100 = 2000. Voters who say Trump was responsible = 56% of 2000, which equals 1120. Voters who say otherwise = 44% of 2000, which amounts to 880. For this network, those who say Trump is responsible = 1120 × (900/2000) = 1008000/2000, resulting in 504 registered voters.

A circle is centered at the point (-7, -1) and passes through the point (8, 7).The radius of the circle is____ units. The point
AnnZ [12381]
Part 1) The radius of the circle is r=17 units. Part 2) The points (-15,14) and (-15,-16) are situated on this circle. Step-by-step explanation: Step 1 Find the radius of the circle. We know that the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference equals the radius of the circle. The formula to determine the distance between two points is equal to......we have (-7, -1) and (8, 7) substitute... Step 2 Determine the y-coordinate of point (-15,y). The standard form of the circle's equation is given by... where (h,k) represents the center, and r is the radius. Replace the values, substituting x=-15 in the equation... square root both sides... ultimately, we find two solutions: point (-15,14) and point (-15,-16) refer to the attached figure for a clearer understanding of the problem.
