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

A runner compared how long it took him to run 200 meters to the record time held by a friend. In his first heat, his time was 2.
Rasek [7]

Answer: it took him 0.075 seconds lesser

Step-by-step explanation:

In his first heat, his time was 2.45 seconds greater than his friend's record time. In his second heat, his time was 2 3/8 seconds greater than his friend's record time. Converting 2 3/8 seconds to decimal, it becomes 2.375 seconds

Therefore, he was fastest in the second heat.

The difference between the time he used to run in the second heat than in the first heat is

2.45 - 2.375 = 0.075 seconds

Explain the process for determining sales tax and total purchase price.
rewona [7]

Answer:

Multiply the decimal for the percent of tax by the purchase price, then add the amount of tax to the price to find the total price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales tax is an amount added to a price to get the total.

We multiply by the decimal for the percent; this means we divide the percent by 100 before we multiply.

Once we multiply, this gives us the amount of sales tax.  We add this to the price of the item to get the total purchase price.
