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.

Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between a line and a point in a plane? exactly one plane conta
Alexandra [31]

Answer: (b) exactly one plane contains a given line and a point not on the line.


Step-by-step explanation: The basic postulates of geometry are very-well known to all of us. For example-

(i) The intersection of two lines determines a point,

(ii) Two parallel lines give result to a plane,

(iii) A line and a point not on the line determines a plane, etc...

Thus, with the help of the third point, we can easily arrive at the conclusion that a given line and a point not lying on the line is contained in a plane. For example- see the attached figure, AB is a line and P is any point not on the line. They both contained in the plane ABC.

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Which of the following equations matches the function shown above?
Ksenya-84 [330]

So, the function is obviously shifted up by 1 so it rules out A and B, and we also see that the period is 4pi rather than 2pi, and using the fact that:

\frac{2\pi}{b}=4\pi \implies \frac{b}{2\pi}=\frac{1}{4\pi}\implies b=\frac{1}{2}

Now that we know our b value, we see that the correct answer would be C.
