Answer:symptotes are invisible lines which are graphed function will approach very closely but not ever touch. This lesson covers vertical and horizontal
Step-by-step explanation: :)
A)
well, we know the elevator's rate is -20 f/s, ok, so every second, is dropping 20 feet, therefore, "y" is "distance from the ground floor", so when y = 0, meaning the distance to the ground floor is 0, so you ARE at the ground floor then.
and "x" is how many seconds you've been in the elevator.
now, she got in the elevator for 6 seconds, so, the elevator went down by 20 * 6, or 120 feet down, reason why the slope is negative, when she stopped, she was 350 feet away from the ground floor still though.
if the elevator went down 120 feet, and she's still 350 feet from the ground floor, that means she boarded the elevator at 120 + 350 feet, or 470 feet.
b)
Answer:
The area of the triangle is 18 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we determine the lengths of segments AB, BC and AC by Pythagorean Theorem:
AB
![AB = \sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+[6-(-1)]^{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=AB%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B%285-2%29%5E%7B2%7D%2B%5B6-%28-1%29%5D%5E%7B2%7D%7D)

BC


AC
![AC = \sqrt{(-1-2)^{2}+[4-(-1)]^{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=AC%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B%28-1-2%29%5E%7B2%7D%2B%5B4-%28-1%29%5D%5E%7B2%7D%7D)

Now we determine the area of the triangle by Heron's formula:
(1)
(2)
Where:
- Area of the triangle.
- Semiparameter.
If we know that
,
and
, then the area of the triangle is:


The area of the triangle is 18 square units.
The answer is 6.875 ish. not exact
