Walter has a paper due on a novel that he has not read. He knows that his teacher will expect detailed references to the novel in his paper. He is thinking that he can listen to it while he is lifting weights and multi-task. What is the BEST response to Walter?

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper.

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.
