Would it still be one thousand feet?
Because the 500 shouldn't matter

Answer:

Distance between balloon and point of liftoff is 1118 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hot air balloon rises straight up 500 feet. It catches a breeze and is blown west 1000 feet.

Since this phenomenon is three dimensional but I have drawn it in 2 dimensions.

So distance between balloon and the liftoff point will be

x² = 1000² + 500²

x^{2}=10^{6}+0.25(10)^{6}

             = 1.25(10)^{6}

x = \sqrt{1.25(10)^{6} }

  = 1.118×1000

  = 1118 feet

Therefore, distance between balloon from the point of liftoff is 1118 feet

the function F(x) represents the monthly earnings of sales executive, which consists of a base salary and a comission earned on
Rasek [7]

Since, the function F(x) represents the monthly earnings of sales executive, which consists of a base salary and a commission earned on each scale, where 'x' is the number of sales.

So, the function F(x) can be expressed as:

F(x)= base salary+ commission earned on each sale (x) where 'x' represents the number of sales  done.

So, F(0)= base salary + 0 ( As x=0 implies there was no sale)

And the executive earned only his base salary and no commission as he did not make any sale, and the commission was dependent upon the number of sales (x).

Hence, F(0) represents the base salary.

So, Option J is the correct answer.

Y raise to power 1/2 =3​
marta [7]

Answer:

y = root 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 is equivalent to the root of something.

The root of y equals 3.

Therefore, y would be equal to root 9, as root 9 is equivalent to 3.

Hope this helps :)
