Polina the Polar Bear sat on an ice floe in the Arctic Ocean, north of Alaska. Polina was waiting for her mother, Bearnice, to return hwith some tasty seal blubber for lunch. Bearnice was hunting, waiting for seals to come up for air through holes in the ice, the same way Polar Bears have hunted in the winter for centuries. Except this year there was one big difference.
A lot more of the ice had melted last summer, and this winter it hadn’t refrozen as usual. A combination of warmer weather and changes in water and air currents was making the ocean warmer than anyone could remember, and Bearnice had to swim farther every day to find a good hunting spot.
As Polina waited for her mother to bring food back to her floe, the ice shrank bit by bit until she was sitting on very thin ice. As Polina waited helplessly, the furry white cub heard a deep voice coming from the direction of the sea.
“Hellooo little bear,” it said. Polina had never heard such a deep voice. She lifted her tired head to look out over the water, and was surprised that the voice seemed to come from a dark ice floe just offshore.
"No, wait!" It had a huge eyeball that was looking directly at her. It wasn’t an ice floe — it was the largest whale Polina had ever seen. It was also the first whale that had ever spoken to her.
“They call me Farswimmer,”said the whale, “because I travel all over the world, having adventures and learning new things. What brings you here alone, Polar Bear?” Farswimmer was very old, and he had seen many changes in his years of exploring the oceans. He certainly knew more about the world than most polar bears.
Farswimmer seemed like a nice whale, but Polina remembered Bearnice, her mother, and how she hadn’t come back from hunting.
Farswimmer blew a tall spout to distract Polina and stop her from crying.
When Polina told the whale her own story, he said, “I’m headed north anyway. You could ride on my back, and we can look for your mother. Are you ready for an adventure?” The next morning, Farswimmer and Polina charted their course and took off. Polina rode Farswimmer’s back and sometimes floated behind him, holding his tail. She also stood on his back and pretended she was surfing. It was a blast.
They took a break on an ice floe. Soon, they saw something in the distance that looked like another ice floe, but just to be sure, Farswimmer left Polina on the ice and swam to the floating object.
It wasn’t an object. It was an animal. Farswimmer used his fat nose to push the animal to Polina’s icy raft. When they got closer, Polina saw a familiar face.
“Mommy,” she yelped. Bearnice was very tired, but the sound of her cub’s voice made her happy. She opened her arms and the two embraced each other in a big bear hug.

Which inequality represents all values of x for which the product below is
defined?
please help very confused
Answer:
C. x ≥ 5
Step-by-step explanation:
You must meet both conditions:
(x -5) ≥ 0 and (x +2) ≥ 0
For the first condition, ...
x ≥ 5 . . . . add 5 to both sides
For the second condition ...
x ≥ -2 . . . . subtract 2 from both sides.
Since both conditions must be met, we must have ...
x ≥ 5

• change division to multiplication
• turn the second fraction upside down

Mr. Hudson's bill when taking his family to a restaurant for dinner was $65. He used a discount card for 15% off and left a 20% tip on the original amount of the bill. Complete the statements to determine how much Mr. Hudson spent at the restaurant. The amount of Mr. Hudson's bill after the 15% discount was $ . Mr. Hudson left $ for a tip. Mr. Hudson spent $ at the restaurant.
Answer:
Amount of bill after discount = $55.25
Amount of tip left = $13
Total money spent at the restaurant = $68.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Original bill amount of Mr. Hudson = $65
Discount card value = 15% of the bill
Tip offered = 20% of the original amount
To find:
Amount of bill after the discount of 15%.
Amount of tip left.
Total amount spent in the restaurant.
Solution:
Let us apply the percentage here to find the values of total discount, total tip offered.
Discount = 15% of $65
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{15}{100} \times 65 = \$9.75[/tex]
Amount of bill after discount = $65 - $9.75 = $55.25
Amount of tip left = 20% of $65
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{20}{100} \times 65 = \$13[/tex]
Total money spent at the restaurant = Amount of bill after discount + tip offered = $55.25 + $13 = $68.25
The answers are:
Amount of bill after discount = $55.25
Amount of tip left = $13
Total money spent at the restaurant = $68.25

D(5,-2).
Answer:
D(-6, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the solution we can start by calculating the slope of AB;
A(-1, 4), B(2, -5)
m = -5 - 4 / 2 - (-1) = -9 / 3 = -3
Then CD, if to be perpendicular, should have the 'negative reciprocal' of the slope of AB. In other words it should have a slope of 1/3. We are given point C as (3, 4) so let's take each of the given options for point D, and find the slope using the two points. If the slope is 1/3rd then that is the correct option.
Now I already know the answer, so instead of going through all the options I will just check the slope with the correct answer choice. You will find the slope to be 1/3rd;
C(3, 4), D(-6, 1)
m = 1 - 4/- 6 - 3 = -3/-9 = 1/3rd
Correct, as you can see
So your solution is option c

where a = 8
b = 15
c = s (which is unknown)
plugin values into the formula:
a² + b² = c²
8² + 15² = s²
s = √(64 + 225)

Factor 72x−18xy
Find the Factor of 72x-18xy
Answer:
4x and (1-y)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x(1-y)
this is my answer
The factors of the expression are 18x and 4-y
Given the expression 72x - 18xy
Find the factor of each term:
72x = 18 * 4 * x
18xy = 18 * x * y
Since 18x is common to both terms, hence the factored form is expressed as:
72x - 18xy = 18x (4 - y)
The factors of the expression are 18x and 4-y
