Hey there! :D

Think of this like a triangle. The dock is 15 feet above ground. It is the side of the triangle. The line connecting the bottom of the dock to the base of the conveyor belt is 40 feet. This is like the base. 

The conveyor belt itself is at a diagonal, and should be the hypotenuse. 

Use the Pythagorean theorem. 

a^2+b^2=c^2

15^2+40^2= c^2 

225+1,600= c^2

Add the values together. 

1,825= c^2

Find the square root of 1,825. 

c= 42.7 (rounded to the nearest tenth) 

The conveyor belt is 42.7 feet long.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Unfortunately, your answer is not right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions whose graphs do not have asymptotes are the power and the root.

The power function has no asymptote, its domain and rank are all the real.

To verify that the power function does not have an asymptote, let us make the following analysis:

The function y = x ^ n , when x approaches infinity, where does y tend? Of course it tends to infinity as well, therefore it has no horizontal asymptotes (and neither vertical nor oblique)

With respect to the function y= \frac{1}{x} we ​​can verify that if it has asymptote horizontal in y = 0. Since when x approaches infinity the function is closer to the value 0.

For example: 1/2 = 0.5;   1/1000 = 0.001;    1/100000 = 0.00001 and so on. As "x" grows "y" approaches zero

Also, when x approaches 0, the function approaches infinity, in other words, when x tends to 0 y tends to infinity. For example: 1 / 0.5 = 2; 1 / 0.1 = 10; 1 / 0.01 = 100 and so on. This means that the function also has an asymptote at x = 0

She is not correct, because $3.00 divided by 6 is 50 cents, so by using that equation she could evaluate that she is wrong and find the correct answer.
