<span>Part A: What do the x-intercepts and maximum value of the graph represent?

There are two x-intercepts: x = 0 and x = 36

Those values are the points at which the height of the tunnel is 0.

That means that the width of the tunnel at the ground level is 36 - 0 = 36.

The maximum value of the graph is 32, at x= 18. That, represents that at the center, x= 18,  the tunnel has a height of 32.

What are the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing, and what do they represent about the distance and height? (6 points)

The interval where the function is increasing is (0,18) and the interval where teh function is decreasing is (18,36)

That represents that the height starts to increase with the distance (from 0 to 18) reaches a maximum of 32, at x = 18, and starts to decrease with the distance until x = 36.

Part B: What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x = 5 to x = 15, and what does this rate represent? (4 points)

The average rate of change from x = 5 to x = 15 is the change in height divided by the change in distance

=> average rate of change = Δy / Δx

Δy ≈ 31 -14  = 17

Δx = 15 - 5 = 10

=> Δy / Δx ≈ 17 / 10 = 1.7

The reduced row echelon form of a system of linear equations is given. Write the system of equations corresponding to the given
morpeh [17]

Answer:

  a. x +8z = -1

  b. y +5z = 2

  c. 0 = 0

  d. (x, y, z) = (-1-8z, 2-5z, z)

Step-by-step explanation:

As with the original matrix, the first three columns are the coefficients of the respective variables, and the last column is the constant on the right of the equal sign.

a. The first row represents the equation ...

  x + 8z = -1

__

b. The second row represents the equation ...

  y + 5z = 2

__

c. The third row represents the equation ...

  0 = 0

This equation expresses a truth, so indicates the original system of equations was consistent, but dependent. (a third row of 0 0 0 1 would indicate inconsistent, no solution)

__

d. The system is consistent but dependent. The solution can be written as ...

  (x, y, z) = (-1-8z, 2-5z, z) . . . . where z is a free variable

Help me find the answer to this area of a kite problem
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a kite = 1/2 * D1 * D2   were D1 and D2 are the 2 diagonals

D1  = 5 + 2.5 = 7.5 and D2 = 2*44444.5 = 9

So area = 1/2 * 7.5 * 9

= 33.75.
