Answer:

Height of shuttle at that instant  = 1.17 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the given figure.

C is the position of rocket and B is the position of observer.

Here we need to find AC, that is the height of shuttle at that instant.

Using trigonometric rules on ΔABC, we have

      tan25=\frac{AC}{AB} \\\\tan25=\frac{AC}{2.5}\\\\AC=2.5\times tan25\\\\AC=1.17miles

Height of shuttle at that instant = AC = 1.17 miles

The set of ordered pairs represented by the graph below can be described as which of the following
Aneli [31]

ANSWER

a relation only

EXPLANATION

The given graph shown in the attachment represents only a relation and not a function.

The reason is that, a vertical line drawn across this graph will intersect this graph at more than one point.

Since the graph fails to pass the vertical line test, the ordered pair represented by this graph represents a relation only.
