An airplane 30,000 feet above the ground begins descending at the rate of 2000 feet per minute. Assume the plane continues at th

e same rate of descent.
A) Write an equation to represent the height of an airplane (H) as it descends for (m) minutes.
B) Graph the situation.
C) What does the slope represent?
D) What does the y-intercept represent?
E) How long will it take for the airplane to reach 13,000 feet?

Answer:

a) h = 30000 - 2000m

b) the graph is attached

c) the slope = -2000

d) 30000ft

e) 8.5 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the plane.

Let r be the rate of descending

Let the be the time taken to descend

Height of plane = 30000ft

Rate of descension = 2000ft/min

a) h = 30000 - r(m)

h = 30000 - 2000m

b) when the plane flies at 2000ft/min, it will take

30000/2000

= 15mins

The graph has been attached

c) The slope is said to be the rise/run. It is a negative rise

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope.

Comparing y = mx + c to h = 30000 - 2000m

h = -2000m + 30000

The slope is -2000

d) y intercept represent 30000ft when the plane starts to descend. m = 0

h = -2000(0) + 30000

h = 30000ft

e) To reach 13000 ft, it will take

13000 = 30000 - 2000m

13000 - 30000 = -2000m

-17000 = -2000m

m = -17000/-2000

m = 8.5mins

50 points question!!!

Annette [7]

Answer:

The graph of f(x) has exactly two x-intercepts not true.

A straight line cannot intersect the x axis twice, so a graph should never have two x-intercepts.

Hope this helps!

Taye recruits two people to be election campaign volunteers. The next week he ask each of those volunteers to recruit two more c

jeka94

Using a geometric sequence, it is found that:

a) For the first 5 weeks, the numbers are: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

b) Hence some of the volunteers can stop recruiting new volunteers during the 7th week.

<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1q^{n-1}$

In which $a_1$ is the first term.

For this problem, on the first week there are 2 people, and since each new people involve two more, the common ratio is of 2, hence the parameters for the geometric sequence are:

$a_1 = 2, q = 2$

Hence the number of people after n weeks is:

$a_n = 2 \times 2^{n - 1}$

For the first 5 weeks, the numbers are:

$a_1 = 2 \times 2^{1 - 1} = 2$

$a_2 = 2 \times 2^{2 - 1} = 4$

$a_3 = 2 \times 2^{3 - 1} = 8$

$a_4 = 2 \times 2^{4 - 1} = 16$

$a_5 = 2 \times 2^{5 - 1} = 32$

There will be 150 volunteers when $a_n = 150$ , hence:

$2 \times 2^{n - 1} = 150$

$2^{n-1} = 75$

$\frac{2^n}{2} = 75$

$2^n = 150$

$n = 7...$

The above is because 2^7 = 128 and 2^8 = 256, and 128 < 150 < 256.

Hence some of the volunteers can stop recruiting new volunteers during the 7th week.

Mary bowled six games this week. Her scores were 138,151,198,147,156, and 173. What was her average for those

erica [24]

The average of scores is 160.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values.

Given scores are:

138,151,198,147,156, and 173

The formula for average score is given by:

$Avg = \frac{Sum}{items}$

Putting values

$Avg = \frac{138+151+198+147+156+173}{6}\\Avg = \frac{963}{6}\\= 160.5$

The average of scores is 160.5
