The rate of change is constant with the object dropping 1 foot every second. The rate of change is constant with the object dropping 144 feet every second. The rate of change decreases over time. The object is 128 feet above ground after one second, but 80 feet after two seconds. The rate of change increases over time. The object drops 16 feet in the first second, but 80 feet in the last second.

Answer:

The rate of change increases over time.

The object drops 16 feet in the first second, but 80 feet in the last second.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the table,

Time (seconds)  (x)                         Height (feet) (y)

        0                                                144    

        1                                                 128

        2                                                 80

        3                                                  0

Now, Rate of change is equal to the ratio of change in height and change in time.

That is, Rate of change = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}.

So, we find the rate for the different time intervals.

A.. Rate in [0,1] = \frac{128-144}{1-0} = -16 feet per second

B. Rate in [1,2] = \frac{80-128}{2-1} = -48 feet per second

C. Rate in [2,3] = \frac{0-80}{3-2} = -80 feet per second

So, we see that,

<em>The rate is increasing in magnitude over time and in the 1st second, the rate is 16 feet and in the last second, the rate is 80 feet.</em>

Hence, the statements describing rate of change are,

The rate of change increases over time.

The object drops 16 feet in the first second, but 80 feet in the last second.

Please Help!! The line plot shows the length of insects in inches that were collected, how much longer is the longest insect tha
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we have a line plot that shows lengths of insects and the quantity of insects that fits the description.

For instance, there are 4 Xs for 1/8. This means that there are four insects that are 1/8 inches long. Likewise, there is only 1 X for 7/8. This means that are is only one insect that is 7/8 inches long.

To find out how much longer is the longest insect than the shortest insect, we simply need to subtract the shortest into the longest.

The longest insect we have is the lone insect who is 7/8 inches long.

And the shortest insects we have are the four insects who each measure 1/8. However, we only need 1.

So, subtract:

\frac{7}{8} -\frac{1}{8}

Combine fractions with common denominators:

=\frac{7-1}{8}\\

Subtract:

=\frac{6}{8}

The answer is D.

If sin Θ = negative square root 3 over 2 and π &lt; Θ &lt; 3 pi over 2, what are the values of cos Θ and tan Θ? cos Θ = negative
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is the option with:

cos Θ = 1/2

tan Θ = -√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

sin Θ = -√3/2

We want to find the values of

cos Θ and tan Θ

First of all,

arcsin (-60) = -√3/2

=> Θ = 60

tan Θ = (sin Θ)/(cos Θ)

tan Θ = (-√3/2)/(cos Θ)

cos Θ tan Θ = (1/2)(-√3)

Knowing that Θ = -60,

and cos Θ = cos(-Θ), comparing the last equation, we have

cos Θ = 1/2

tan Θ = -√3

What is the answer to this inequality question 2(4x+1)&lt;3(2x-3)
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

x < -7

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x + 1) < 3(2x - 3)

Distributive Property:

8x + 8 < 6x - 6

Subtract on Both Sides:

8x + 8 < 6x - 6

- 6x       -6x

--------------------

2x + 8 < - 6

      -8    -8

---------------

2x < -14

Divide on Both Sides:

2x < -14

---     ---

2        2

x < -7
