An airplane is flying at 35000 feet above sea level. The airplane starts to descend at a rate of 2500 feet per minute. Let m be

the number of minutes. Which of the following expression describe the height of the airplane after any given number of minutes?

Answer:

In this case, the airplane is flying at 35000 feet and descend 2500 feet every minute. That means the airplane descend rate is 2500 feet/min. Since the duration is m minute then you need to multiply it by the descending rate. Then the formula that can count the airplane height would be:

Airplane height:
35000feet - (2500feet/min x m min)
35000feet - 2500m feet

<u>QUESTION 1</u>

The given system of equation is

$y=x-6...eqn1$

and

$3x+2y=8...eqn2$

Let us substitute equation (1) into equation (2) to get,

$3x+2(x-6)=8$

We expand the bracket to get,

$3x+2x-12=8$

We simplify to get.

$5x-12=8$

We group like terms to get

$5x=8+12$

$\Rightarrow 5x=20$

$\Rightarrow x=4$

We now substitute $x=4$ in to equation (1) to obtain,

$y=4-6=-2$

The correct answer is option A.

<u>QUESTION 2</u>

The given system of equations is

$y-x=9...eqn1$

and

$10+2x=-2y...eqn2$

We make y the subject in equation (2) to get,

$y=-x-5..eqn3$

We put equation (3) into equation (1) to obtain,

$-x-5-x=9$

We group like terms to get,

$-x-x=9+5$

This implies that,

$-2x=14$

We divide through by $-2$ to get,

$x=-7$

Hence the x-coordinate is $-7$

<u>QUESTION 3</u>

The given system is

$y=3x-1..eqn1$

and

$x-y=-9...eqn2$

We make $x$ the subject in equation (2) to get,

$x=y-9...eqn3$

We put equation (3) into equation (1) to obtain,

$y=3(y-9)-1$

We expand the bracket to get,

$y=3y-27-1$

Group like terms to get,

$y-3y=-27-1$

We simplify to get;

$-2y=-28$

This implies that,

$y=14$

Therefore the y-coordinate is 14.

1/4 to 1/2 find the percent of change-increase or decrease

Vika [28.1K]

The percent of change would be -33.3% which would then equal a 33.3% decrease (when decimal is rounded)

what I did was turn 1/4 and 1/2 into decimals to make it easier to solve

Who’s right? And why?

Answer: Raymond is correct

The DJ charges $75 an hour.

=================================================

Explanation:

x = number of hours

y = total cost

The DJ does a 3-hour event for $275. This means one point is (x,y) = (3,275)

Another point is (5,425) because a 5-hour event costs $425.

Let's find the slope of the line through these two points.

$(x_1,y_1) = (3,275) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (5,425)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{425 - 275}{5 - 3}\\\\m = \frac{150}{2}\\\\m = 75\\\\$

The slope is 75, meaning that each time y goes up by 75, x goes up by 1.

Flipped around it means each time x goes up by 1, y goes up by 75.

This means each time we add on an extra hour, the cost goes up by $75.

The DJ charges $75 an hour. Raymond is correct.
