An airplane’s altitude in feet during its descent for landing can be found using the function f(x) = −300x + 30,000, where x represents the horizontal distance in miles from where the plane begins its descent. After new government regulations become law, the airplane’s
descent will be modeled by the function g(x) = −300x + 30,500. Which statement describes this change?


A. The airplane descends 500 feet per horizontal mile slower
B. The airplane starts its descent from an altitude 500 feet higher
C. The airplane descends 500 feet per horizontal mile faster
D. The airplane starts its descent from an altitude 500 feet lower

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The airplane starts its descent from an altitude 500 feet higher

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = −300x + 30,000

the function itself represents the airplane's altitude. the y intercept, 30,000 ft, then represents the initial starting position of the plane.

when it changes

g(x) = −300x + 30,500

only the y intercept changes. it's now 30,500 ft, which is 500 more than before. that means the plane initial position is 500 feet higher.

since the term with x doesn't change, the rate will not be affected. the answers with slower or faster talks about rate, which isn't what changed.

Find the equation of the line through the points (3/5,2) and (6,−1). Write your answer in the form y=mx+b.

Answers

0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the gradient when given points, label one of the x points as X2 and the other x1 ( it could be anyone of them: 3 could be X2 and 6 x1 or vise versa) and do the same with the y points, doesn't matter which one is y2 or y1.

But bare in mind, if you used the first coordinate x as x1 you must used the y coordinate as the y1. you must use the same order. so if you used X2 for second coordinate use y2 for the y point of the second coordinate.

Now set up the formula: x2-x1/y2 -y1

The heights of women aged 20–29 in the United States are approximately Normal with mean 64.1 inches and standard deviation 3.7 inches. Men the same age have mean height 69.4 inches, with standard deviation 3.1 inches.

Answers

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the z-score of the height of a women 5.5 feet tall is 0.51.

What is the missing information?

The problem asks for the z-score of the height of a women 5.5 feet tall.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

Considering that each feet has 12 inches, the parameters are given as follows:

[tex]X = 5.5 \times 12 = 66, \mu = 64.1, \sigma = 3.7[/tex]

Hence the z-score is:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Z = (66 - 64.1)/3.7

Z = 0.51.

The z-score of the height of a women 5.5 feet tall is 0.51.

Answers

The required transformation of graphs are represented and attached below.

Given:

(a) function f(x) = |x| transformed to g(x) = 3 |x ₋ 1 | ₊ 3

To find the transformation, compare the function to the parent function and check to see if there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection about the x-axis or y-axis, and if there is a vertical stretch.

Parent Function : f(x) = |x|

Horizontal Shift: Right 1 Units

Vertical Shift: Up 3 Units

Reflection about the x-axis: None

Vertical Stretch: Stretched

(b) If there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection around the x-axis or y-axis, or vertical stretch, the function has undergone transformation. To identify the transformation, compare the function to the parent function.

Parent Function : f(x) = |x|

Horizontal Shift: Right 1 Units

Vertical Shift: Up 6 Units

Reflection about the x-axis: None

Vertical Stretch: Stretched

Two triangles are drawn in the coordinate plane. The vertices of the first triangle are (5, 4), (-4, 6), (-8, 9). The vertices of the second triangle are (1, 6), (-8, 8), (x, y). Find the value of x and y that allow these two triangles to be congruent.

Answers

The value of x and y that allows these two triangles to be congruent is

(-12, 11)

What are congruent triangles?

The congruence of two or more triangles is determined by the measurements of their sides and angles. The three sides of a triangle determine its size, and the three angles determine its shape.

Two triangles are said to be congruent if the pairs of their corresponding sides and angles are equal. They are the same size and shape. Triangles have numerous congruence conditions.

Here we will use translation to find out units of displacements

If the triangle is congruent then vertices are of same shape too which means coordinate of first triangle will give us coordinate of second triangle

The coordinates of 1st vertices of traingle1 = (5, 4), x = 5, y = 4

The coordinates of 1st vertices of traingle2 = (1, 6), x = 1, y = 6

By subtracting,

translation x = 5 - 1 = 4

translation y = 4 - 6 = -2

Thus the vertices of other triangles are translated 4 units left and 2 units up. Same goes for second vertices

-4 - 4 = 8

6 + 2 = 8

And the same will go for the last vertices (-8, 9) that is

-8 - 4 = -12

9 + 2 = 11

The value of x and y that allow these two triangles to be congruent is (-12, 11)

On the vertical axis of the graph, the number of backpack sales that corresponds to the month of May is between 8,000 and 8,5000

The conjecture about backpack sales is that June sales will be less than 8,000 units.

What is a conjecture?

A conjecture is a mathematical statement without proof. Instead, conjectures survive on some existing patterns.

The existing patterns show that backpack sales peaked in November but deteriorated or decreased steadily every month.

For instance, in November, the backpack sales were 11,000 units but 10,250 in January. It reduced to 8,750 in March.

However, following the end of the Easter holidays, backpack sales may increase from May. But this prediction does not agree with the trend.

Collecting pennies can either be a dependent or an independent events based on the scenario.

Events classified as independent do not depend on other events for their occurrence. For instance, if we toss a coin in the air and it lands on head, we can toss it again and this time it will land on tail.

A coin toss is an illustration of an autonomous occurrence. With each toss of the coin, there is an equal probability (0.5) of either heads or tails occurring, presuming that the coin is fair and can only land on heads or tails. It doesn't matter if the coin came up heads on the prior toss.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is the amount of space a 2-D shape occupies.

Area Formula

As stated above, the area of a triangle is [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]. When solving for area, it doesn't actually matter which side is the base. You just have to remember to take the height perpendicular to the base you use. Since this is a right triangle, the height is the same as one of the legs. For the purpose of this question, I will use 12 as the base and 15 as the height. Because the 12 and 15 sides are perpendicular to each other, we can plug them into the formula for b and h.

Solving For A

Now we can just plug 12 and 15 in and solve.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}*12*15 = 90[/tex]

The area of the triangle is 90 in².

Let the required score be x

Mean = 79 + 69 + 61 + 91 + x/5

⇒ 79 + 69 + 61 + 91 + x/5 > 75

⇒ 300 + x/5 > 75
