Convert 5C° to F°.
41
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)
\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
Inductance is a factor in which of the following?
an AC circuit
Inductance is a property of an AC circuit (or a component in an AC circuit) that quantifies resistance to changes in current. The current in an AC circuit is continuously changing and inductive reactance (the opposition to change) depends both on the inductance of the circuit or component and the rate at which the current is changing.
What is (z5)4?
To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:
(z5)4What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)
where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:
a6 = a5 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31
What is a framing square used for?
marking lines at a right angle
Rulers are used to both measure distance and to draw straight lines. Tape measures are flexible rulers made from cloth or metal and are useful for measuring longer distances and in tighter spaces. Both rulers and tape measures provide similar accuracy, commonly down to \({1 \over 16}\) or \({1 \over 32}\) inch. A steel framing square is made up of a shorter ruler (tongue) and a longer ruler (blade) that meet at a 90° (right) angle. A framing square is often used by carpenters when framing stairs and roofs.
In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?
all of these
Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.
Which of the following is not a type of simple machine?
gear
The six types of simple machines are the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and screw.
