Kari and Samantha have determined that their water-balloon launcher works best when they launch the balloon at an angle within 3

degrees of 45 degrees. Which equation can be used to determine the minimum and maximum optimal angles of launch, and what is the minimum angle that is still optimal? a. |x – 3| = 45; minimum angle: 42 degrees b. |x – 3| = 45; minimum angle: 45 degrees c. |x – 45| = 3; minimum angle: 42 degrees d. |x – 45| = 3; minimum angle: 45 degrees

ANSWER

<span>|x – 45| = 3; minimum angle: 42 

======

EXPLANATION

In general, the distance between two real numbers x and y is given by |x - y|.

Therefore, the distance between the launch angle, x, and 45 degrees is

   |x - 45|

"Within three degrees" means the maximum and minimum angles are when the distance between x and 45 is 3 degrees. We set the distance to equal 3:

   |x - 45| = 3

The minimum angle can be found using subtraction. 45 less than 3 is 42 degrees, so the minimum angle is 42 degrees.

42 degrees is within 3 degrees of 45 degrees. If we added 45, that would get us the maximum angle.</span>

We are given the data that says that the launch angle the two girls use is <span>within 3 degrees of 45 degrees. This means, the mean is 45 degrees and there is a 3-degree separation between the mean and the maximum degree and the mean and the minimum angle. The answer then is </span><span>c. |x – 45| = 3; minimum angle: 42 degrees </span>

Sketch the asymptotes and graph the function y=6/(x-2)+4
lana [24]
There will be a vertical asymptote when the denominator approaches zero. So the vertical asymptote is about the line x=2.

There will be a horizontal asymptote as x approaches ±oo where the y value will approach 4.  So the horizontal asymptote is about the line y=4

HELP ME FIND X AND Y: 2x = 4y + 6 and 3x - y = -1
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

x = -1

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To get y by itself:

3x - y = -1

-y = -1 - 3x

y = 1 + 3x

Solve for x with substitution:

2x = 4(1 + 3x) + 6

2x = 4 + 12x + 6

2x = 10 + 12x

-10x = 10

x = -1

Plug the x value into 3x - y = -1

3(-1) - y = -1

-3 - y = -1

-y = 2

y = -2
