Answer:

13,200 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the rocket starts descending at a given rate and time, so we first need to find the length it passed during that descent.

Length equals to speed multiplied with time:

s = v • t

since speed is given in feet per second, we need to convert minutes to seconds; if one minute has 60 seconds, then two minutes have 120 seconds.

s = 15 feet/s • 120 s

s = 1800 feet

So, the rocket descended 1800 feet, but it still has 11,400 feet to the Moon's surface. That means that the rocket was on 11,400 + 1,800 = 13,200 feet elevation when it started to drop.

X and y are positive integers. explain why incorrect to claim that
dedylja [7]

You can find counterexamples to disprove this claim. We have positive integers that are perfect square numbers; when we take the square root of those numbers, we get an integer.

For example, the square root of 1 is 1, which is an integer. So if y = 1, then the denominator becomes an integer and thus we get a quotient of two integers (since x is also defined to be an integer), the definition of a rational number.

Example: x = 2, y = 1 ends up with \frac{2}{\sqrt{1}} = \frac{2}{1} which is rational. This goes against the claim that x/\sqrt{y} is always irrational for positive integers x and y.

Any integer y that is a perfect square will work to disprove this claim, e.g. y = 1, y = 4, y= 9, y = 16. So it is not always irrational.
