Suppose the graph of the parent function y=cot(X) is vertically compressed to produce the graph of the function y=a cot(X), but there are no reflections. Which describes the value of a? a<-1

i believe that the slope of the line is -5

step-by-step explanation:

add a pic of the graph, then ill edit this "answer" and solve it for you : 3

step-by-step explanation:

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
