Answer:

-38 - 12x < 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original elevation = -38 feet,

Also, the explorer starts moving at a rate of negative 12 feet per minute.

So, the distance covered by explorer after x minutes = -12x feet,

Thus, the final elevation = original elevation +  distance covered by explorer

= -38 - 12x

According to the question,

final elevation < -200 feet

⇒ -38 - 12x < 200

Which is the required inequality.

Answer:

-38 - 12x < 200

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

The original elevation = -38 feet,

Also, the explorer starts moving at a rate of negative 12 feet per minute.

So, the distance covered by explorer after x minutes = -12x feet,

Thus, the final elevation = original elevation +  distance covered by explorer

= -38 - 12x

According to the question,

final elevation < -200 feet

⇒ -38 - 12x < 200

Which is the required inequality.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 5) and (-1, -4)? show your work
Sati [7]

Answer:

We can solve this question using the slope equation which is y2-y1/x2-x1

If you use that formula and sub in the coordinates

-4 - 5 / -1-2

-9/-3

= 3

The slope should be 3/1

Help me out the number inside the triangle is really throwing me off tbh
prisoha [69]

We are given an angle of 60° and a side of 15 cm.

We are given the opposite and is looking for the hypotenuse so we will use the sine ratio to find x.

sin = opp/hyp

hyp = 15 / sin 60

hyp = 17.32...

//

We can also use the tangent ratio to find the adjecent and then use pythagorean to find x.

tan = opp/adj

adj = 15 / tan 60

adj = 8.660.....

8.660....² + 15² = 300²

since the square root of 300 is an irrational number, we have to turn it into a mixed radical.

The answer would be the top one.

Can someone explain what's n+1-3n=-5+n+1-2
son4ous [18]
N+1-3n=5+n+1-2

Simplify it

-2n+1 = n+4

Add 2n to both sides

1 = 3n+4

Subtract 4 from both sides

-3 = 3n

Divide by 3

n = -1
