An airplane has begun its descent for a landing. When the airplane is 150 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 25,000

feet. When the airplane is 90 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 19,000 feet. If the airplane's descent is modeled by a linear function, where will the airplane be in relation to the runway when it hits ground level?

Answer:

airplane will over shoot the runway by 100 miles (for USA Test Prep people)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope =

25,000 - 19,000

150 - 90

= 100

y = mx + b

25,000 = 100(150) + b

25,000 - 15,000 = b

b = 10,000

thus,

y = mx + b

0 = 100x + 10,000

-10,000 = 100x

x = -100

When the plane is at ground level (y = 0), it will be 100 miles past the end of the runway.

The airplane has descended (25,000 - 19,000) = 6,000 feet
while flying (150 - 90) = 60 miles.

If the descent is modeled by a linear function, then the slope
of the function is

             (-6000 ft) / (60 miles)  =  - 100 ft/mile .

Since it still has 19,000 ft left to descend, at the rate of 100 ft/mi,
it still needs to fly

           (19,000 ft) / (100 ft/mile) =  190 miles

to reach the ground.

It's located 90 miles west of the runway now.  So if it continues
on the same slope, it'll be 100 miles past the runway (east of it)
when it touches down.

I sure hope there's another airport there.

If h(x) = 6 - X, what is the value of (non (10)?<br> Oo oo<br> O-4<br> -2
zzz [600]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) × h(x) = (6 - x)²

(h × h)(10) = (6 - 10)² = (- 4)² = 16

A set of city temperatures in April are normally distributed with a mean of 19.7 degrees Celsius and a standard deviation of 2 d
Sati [7]

Answer:

19.77% of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 19.7, \sigma = 2

What percentage of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 21.4.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{21.4 - 19.7}{2}

Z = 0.85

Z = 0.85 has a pvalue of 0.8023

1 - 0.8023 = 0.1977

19.77% of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo
