Answer:

Part 1) The equation tells us that Terry started at an elevation of 2,600 ft

Part 2) The elevation is decreasing by 50 feet each second

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$E(t)=2,600-50t$

where

E(t) is Terry's elevation in feet

t is the time in seconds

Part 1) Find the E intercept of the equation

The E-intercept is the value of E when the value of t is equal to zero

For t=0

substitute

$E(0)=2,600-50(0)$

$E(0)=2,600\ ft$

therefore

The equation tells us that Terry started at an elevation of 2,600 ft

Part 2) Find the slope of the equation

we have

$E(t)=2,600-50t$

This is the equation of the line into slope intercept form

The slope m is equal to

$m=-50\ ft/sec$

The slope is negative, because is decreasing

therefore

The elevation is decreasing by 50 feet each second

The idea that two line segments can be added together to find the length of the entire segment is called the ________.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Segment addition postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the segment addition postulate, given a line segment defined as AC then a point B is located along AC if and only if the length of the segments on the line satisfy the relation, AC = AB + BC. Therefore, whereby a line which is defined by two end points, is seen to be the sum of points between the two end points.

The length and width of a certain rectangle are both decreased by 50%. If the length and width of the new rectangle are then inc

alina1380 [7]

51% less.

The length is decreased by 50%, which is the same as being multiplied by 0.5, then it's increased by 40% which is another multiplication by 1.4. So the overall change is 0.5 * 1.4 = 0.7, or the newest rectangle is 70% of the size of the original rectangle. And since the area increases by the square, the newest rectangle has 0.7 * 0.7 = 0.49 of the area as the original rectangle. So it has 51% less area than the original rectangle.

Which points lie on the line that passes through point P and is parallel to the given line? Check all that apply.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

(-1, 3), (-2, 2) and (-5, -1) lie on the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line which is parallel to the given line is y = mx + c

Here m is the slope of line similar to the line given = (y - y')/(x - x')

Here (x, y) and (x', y') are (4, 2) and (-2, -4)

then m = (2+4)/(4+2) = 6/6 = 1

Now the equation of the line will be y = x + c

This line passes through point P(0, 4)

4 = 1×0 + c

c = 4

Therefore equation of the line will be

y = x + 4

Now we check for each point given in the question whether it lies on the line or not.

For (-4, 2)

y = (-4) + 4 = 0

Hence not lies on the line.

For (-1, 3)

y = (-1) + 4 = -1 +4 = 3

Hence (-1,3) lies on the line.

For (-2, 2)

y = (-2) + 4 = -2 + 4 = 2

Hence (-2, 2) lies on the line.

For (4, 2)

y = 4 + 4 = 8

Hence (4, 2) lies on the line.

For (-5, -1)

y = -5 + 4 = -1

Hence (-5, -1) lies on the line.

Therefore (-1, 3),(-2, 2) and (-5, -1) lie on the line.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

2^5/2^3

Hint: | For all exponents, a^n/a^m = a^(n - m). Apply this to 2^5/2^3.
