Using the slope concept, it is found that the change in elevation was of -699 feet.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

In this problem, we have that:

  • The vertical change is of h.
  • The horizontal change is of 10,000 feet.
  • The angle is of -4º.

Hence:

tan(-4º) = h/10000

h = 10000 x tan(-4º)

h = -699.

10+8*a=b

10+8a=b.

This is writing a function rule. It says this at the top.

Year 2: 500*[ 1 + 0.25] * [1 + 0.25] = 500 [1 + 0.25]^2

Year x: 500 [1 + 0.25]^x

Option d: A(x) = 500[1 + .25]^x, where .25 is the interest rate

Jesse uses this expression to determine how much to pay, including tax and tip, when he goes out to a restaurant:
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

x is the price of the meal

(1+0.0825 + 0.18) is the total percentage on top of the price he pays with sales tax and tip.

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor x is the price of the meal. The factor (1 + 0.0825 + 0.18) is the 100% of the price, the sales tax on that price and the tip on the total. 1 + 0.0825 + 0.18 = 1.2625 is the total percentage he pays on the price. He pays 26.25% in addition of the price of the meal to cover tax and tip.
