Alex is practicing his dives at a pool. He dives from the diving board that is 15 feet above the surface of water. His dive take

s him 15 feet below the surface of water. Alex says that the two distances are opposites, so his total dive distance is 15+ -15 equals 0 feet. Are the two distances opposite? Is Alex his total dive distance correct? Explain your reasoning. Show your work. Use models, positive and negative numbers, and words to explain your answer.

Answer:

Alex is wrong in calculating his dive distance.

Actual distance of his Dive is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance from where he dive from = 15 feet

Distance he reached after dive = 15 feet

Also Given:

Alex says that the two distances are opposites,

Also Total distance of dive according to Alex = 15 +-15 =0 feet

Solution:

Now we know that;

The diving board is 15 feet above the water level, and then he reached 15 deep in the water, but here it is important to know that even he is above the surface of the water he is diving in the water and then he reached 15 deep in the water.

So the two distances are in the same direction.

From above scenario we can say that

Total Distance of dive will be = 15 +15 =30 feet.

Hence We can say that Alex is wrong in calculating his dive distance. Actual Dive distance is 30 feet.

Solve for x, find the simplified radical & decimal
Ronch [10]

Answer:

x = 6\sqrt{2} = 8.485

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is \sqrt{2} times the length of a leg.

So, if you are given the hypotenuse, then divide its length by \sqrt{2}

x = 12/\sqrt{2} = 12\sqrt{2}/2 = 6\sqrt{2} = 8.485

Which point do all exponential functions of the form y=a^x pass through
Bezzdna [24]
The answer should be A.

When we see the equation y=a^x we can relate to all the exponential functions, however, when the problem asked what points does all equations in that form pass through. I was instantly reminded by two facts.

One is that any number to the first is equal to itself. In other words, a^1=a

Another is that any number to the zero is equal to 1. a^x=1
if that is true, 1 will always be the x value since y=a^x and 0 will always be the x value because that is how y can be equal to one.
therefore, the answer is A: (0,1)
