In an apartment building, there is only one elevator that residents are allowed to use. The elevator picks up six people in the

main lobby and ascends 4 floors. Next, the elevator ascends another 2 floors and descends 3 floors. The elevator ascends 8 more floors, then descends 2 floors. The elevator finally descends another 2 floors before getting stuck. What floor is the elevator stuck on?

Answer:

It is stucked on the 9th floor

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know the floor on which the elevator is stucked.

The main lobby is the ground floor and has a value of 0 floor

Ascends four floors with 6 people from the lobby

It is now on floor 4

Ascends another two so it is now on floor 4 + 2 = 6

Ascends another 2, then descend descends 3

That will be 6 + 2 -3 = 5th floor

Ascends 8 more , then descend 2

That will be 5 + 8 -2 = 11

Descends another 2, making 11 - 2 = 9

It is stucked on floor 9

Kindly note, when it ascends, that is a positive value, when it descends, that is a negative

The water level in a tank can be modeled by the function h(t)=8cos(pi t /7)+11.5, where t is the number of
denis23 [38]

Answer:

NO amount of hour passed between two consecutive times when the water in the tank is at its maximum height

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the water tank level modelled by the function h(t)=8cos(pi t /7)+11.5. At maximum height, the velocity of the water tank is zero

Velocity is the change in distance with respect to time.

V = {d(h(t)}/dt = -8π/7sin(πt/7)

At maximum height, -8π/7sin(πt/7) = 0

-Sin(πt/7) = 0

sin(πt/7) = 0

Taking the arcsin of both sides

arcsin(sin(πt/7)) = arcsin0

πt/7 = 0

t = 0

This shows that NO hour passed between two consecutive times when the water in the tank is at its maximum height

Distance between 2 airports 1,505 miles. Average speed of airplane 420 mph. Flight time hours
-BARSIC- [3]
For this case we have the following definition:
 d = v * t
 Where,
 d: distance
 v: speed
 t: time
 Clearing the time we have:
 t = d / v
 Substituting values:
 t = 1505/420
 t = 3,583 hours
 Answer:
 
Flight time hours:
 
t = 3,583 hours

Nina knows that the average of the x-intercepts represents the line of symmetry for a quadratic function through the x-axis. Whi
Dafna1 [17]
To get the x-intercepts of the function, f(x) = 4x2 – 24x + 20

It has to be equated to zero and the values of x are the x-intercepts. So,
4x2 – 24x + 20 = 0
The resulting equation is a quadratic equation which can be solved by different methods. The solution is
x = 5, 1
The average therefore is:
(1+5/)2 = 3
