A gold mine has two​ elevators, one for equipment and another for the miners. The equipment elevator descends 4 feet per second.

The elevator for the miners descends 15 feet per second. One​ day, the equipment elevator begins to descend. After 30 ​seconds, the elevator for the miners begins to descend. What is the position of each elevator relative to the surface after another 14 seconds? At that​ time, which elevator is​ deeper?

Let d_m,\ d_e represent the depth of the miner and equipments elevator, respectively. We know that equipment elevator descends with a velocity of v_e = 4 feet per second, and the miners one descends with a velocity of v_m = 15 feet per second.

If we start counting time (t=0) when the equipment elevator begins to descend, after t seconds its depth will be

d_e(t) = v_et = 4t

On the other hand, the miner elevator follows the same rule, but we have to use its velocity, and remember that it starts with a delay of thirty seconds:

d_m(t) = v_m(t-30) = 15(t - 30)

Now, we have to wait the 30 seconds of delay, and then another 14 seconds. This means that we want to know the positions of both elevators when t = 44. Let's plug this value into the two equations:

d_e(44) = 4\cdot 44 = 176

d_m(44) = 15(44-30) = 15\cdot 14 = 210

So, the equipment elevator is 176 feet deep, and the miner elevator is 210 feet deep, and thus this is the deeper one.

Answer:

exponent of x is 33

exponent of y is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to combine all powers (exponents) of x, and all exponents of y separately.

remember : x to the power of a divided by x to the power of b is x to the power of (a-b).

when multiplying, the "-" turns into a "+".

so, we have actually for x the exponent calculation :

8 - 14 -(-39) = 8 - 14 + 39 = 33

so, x³³ remains.

and for the y exponents

-26 -(-5) -(-21) = -26 + 5 + 21 = 0

so, all the y expressions eliminate each other and y⁰ remains.

Answer:

  122°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the central angle is twice the measure of the inscribed angle that subtends the same arc.

  ∠ABC = 2×∠ADC = 2×61°

  ∠ABC = 122°
