Mr. mole left his burrow that lies 7 meters below the ground and started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending at a

constant rate. After 6 minutes, he was 16 meters below the ground.
Let A(t)A(t)A, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis denote Mr. Mole's altitude relative to the ground AAA (measured in meters) as a function of time ttt (measured in minutes).
What's the functions formula?

Answer:

f(t)=-\frac{3}{2}t-7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

  • The initial conditions are -7 meters at 0 minutes.
  • Then, after 6 minutes, he was 16 meters below the ground.

According to these two simple facts we can found the linear function that describes this problem. First, the problem says that Mr. Mole is descending at a constant rate, which is the slope of the function. Now, to calculate the slope we need to points, which are (0;-7) and (6;-16), where <em>t-values </em>are minutes, and <em>y-values </em>are meters. You can see, that the first point is the initial condition and the second point is 6 minutes later.

So, we calculate the slope:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}} \\m=\frac{-16-(-7)}{6-0}=\frac{-16+7}{6}=\frac{-9}{6}=\frac{-3}{2}

From the slope we can see that Mr. Mole is descending, because it has a negative sign. Also, the point (0;-7) is on the <em>y-axis</em>, because <em>t</em> is null, so -7 is part of the function. Therefore the function that describes this problem is:

f(t)=-\frac{3}{2}t-7

Answer:

A(t)=-1.5t-7

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Mr. Mole left his burrow that lies 7 meters below the ground and after 6 minutes, he was 16 meters below the ground.

It means the line passing thought the points (0,-7) and (6,-16). It means the initial value is -7.

He started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending at a constant rate. The rate of change is

The rate of change is -1.5.

A(t) denote Mr. Mole's altitude relative to the ground A (measured in meters) as a function of time t (measured in minutes).

Therefore the function's formula is , here negative sign shows the Mr. Mole's altitude relative to below the ground A

because first you times z and x to get the area and then you multiply that by two added to
h times y divided by two (area of a triangle) times again by two cuz theres two sides
finally add z times y cuz thats the area of the base
and you get 896

two sides of a triangle measures 25 cm + 35 CM which of the following would be the measure of the third side
Oxana [17]
Assuming those are the legs of the triangle and that you need to find the hypotenuse... I would use the formula: a^2+b^2=c^2
It doesn't matter what a and b are, just fill it in.
25^2+35^2=c^2
625+1225=c^2
1850=c^2
Take the square root of 1850, it isn't a perfect square so I got: 43.01.
If you want, just round it to 43, idc. 
So, if I were to check my work, I would need to remember that the hypotenuse is the longest side.
Since 43 is the hypotenuse, it is the longest side.
