The situation will be represented by linear equation, this is given by:
y=ax+b
where:
a=slope=rate
b=y-intercept
from our situation:

a=-1/20
b=5 ft
thus the equation modeling the situation will be:
y=-1/20x+5

Answer: y=-1/20x+5

It’s function one cause if you find the slope on the table it’s 3/1 which is basically just 3. Then the y-intercept is -3.

Function 1 slope is 5 or 5/1 and y-intercept is 4

A jet flies over the Air Force Base at 10:20 a.m. At 10:32 a.m., the plane passes over the Navy Base Station, 120 miles away. Ho
kati45 [8]
So first calculate the time between the plane flied over the Air Force Bases (AFB) and Navy Base Station (NBS):
(time passed Air Force Bases) - (time passed Air Force Bases) = 10:32 - 10:20 = 12 mins
Since we know the distance that plane travel from AFB to NBS is 120 miles and the plane traveled that distance within 12 minutes.
We have
120 miles / 12 minutes = 10 miles / minute
Calculate it into miles per hour (60 minutes):
10 miles/minute x 60 minutes = 600 miles per hour.
ANSWER : 600 mph

arlik [135]
If he uses 1 quarter, he has 40 cent left to make.He can do that in two ways, by using 2 dimes andall four nickels, or all 3 dimes snd 2 nickels.That's 2 ways.
If he uses both quarters, he has 15 cent left to make.He can do that in two ways by using 1 dime and 1 nickel,or no dimes and 3 nickels.That's 2 more ways.    So there are four ways to make 65 cents.

If f(x) = [xl-5, what is f(8.6)?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

  3 or 4, depending on the intended meaning of [x]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you mean ...

  \displaystyle f(x)= \lfloor x\rfloor -5\\\\f(8.6)=\lfloor 8.6\rfloor-5=8-5=3

__

On the other hand, perhaps you mean ...

  \displaystyle f(x)=\lceil x\rceil -5\\\\f(8.6)=\lceil 8.6\rceil-5=9-5=4
