An Elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 5m/min. If the descend starts from 15m above the ground, how long will it

take to reach 350m deep from the ground?

First of all, assuming that the "ground level" is 0; 

The lift is not starting from 0, so we also need to account for the extra 15 meters above the ground the lift is. 

The total distance the lift would cover in the downward direction: 15+350=365m

Now, you know that the lift covers 5 m/min

Therefore, 5x=365 (ignoring units because they can complicate things) 

x=365/5 
x=73 minutes 

Therefore, they would take 73 minutes to reach 350 m deep into the ground with a starting position 15 m above the ground. 

Hope I helped :)

Determine whether each question is biased. Explain your answer.
Kisachek [45]
Biased because the survey was conducted in a limited field of people aka health club which does not include other people, perhaps an unhealthy club? Or the people who are not a part of the health club? Or people who do not care about their health?

The 8 students in Mrs. Alexander's class were asked how many minutes it takes them to get to school in the morning. Here is what
IrinaK [193]

To find the mean just add all of them then divide the result by 8. To find the median put the numbers in order. So 3, 3, 4, 4, 13, 15, 15, 16 then find the middle number, if there is not middle number (which there isn’t) add the two middle numbers (4 and 13) to get 17 then divide 17 by 2 to get 8.5 which is the median

If the graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis and 6 is an x-intercept, name another x-intercept
givi [52]
-6 because for every value (x,y) there is another value (-x,y) so for the value (6,0) there must also be a value (-6,0). That is what the definition of y-axis symmetry is, it is also known as being an "even" function if it has this type of symmetry. Look at the graph of y=(x^2)-36 to see how this works.
