Let's assume

height of plane  in feet =h

time in minutes =t

we are given

A plane is descending into the airport. After 5 minutes it is at a height of 6500 feet

so, we get one point as (5,6500)

After 7 minutes it is at a height of 5900 feet

so, we get another point as (7,5900)

we can use point slope form of line

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

points as

(5,6500)

x1=5, y1=6500

(7,5900)

x2=7 , y2=5900

Calculation of slope(m):

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

now, we can plug values

m=\frac{5900-6500}{7-5}

m=-300

Equation of line:

we can use formula

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

we can plug values

h-6500=-300(t-5)

h=-300t+8000

Time of landing:

we can set h=0

and then we can solve for t

h=-300t+8000=0

t=\frac{80}{3}min..............Answer

So in the thing p=m/v to find m would you times v by p?
EastWind [94]

M = mass

p = density

v = volume

Yes, to find m it would be m = pv.

To find v that would be m/p.

If the height of a triangle
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

75 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a traingle you use the following equation

b*h*.5

We know that the height of the triange is three times the base and that the area is 937.5

This means that

b*3b*.5=937.5

We can combine this and get 1.5b^2=937.5

We can then divide by 1.5 to get b by itself

b^2=625

Then take the square root for our answer and get b=25 (while be also can be -25 it doesn't make sense to have a negative answer in the context of this problem)

So we know that b=25 and that h=3b which means that the height is 75 cm

Divide 24 milliliters into the ratio of 6:2<br><br> What is the larger value?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

18 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rn = 6   Ratio numerator

Rd = 2 Ratio Denominator

Rs = Rn + Rd

Rs = 6 + 2

Rs = 8

Ratio Sum

a = 24 Amount to Divide

M = a ÷ Rs

M = 24 ÷ 8

M = 3 Multiplier Ratio Division Calculation

Rr = Rn × M : Rd × M

Rr = 6 × 3 : 2 × 3

Rr = 18 : 6

The graph below shows the function f(x)=x-3/x2-2x-3. Which statement is true?
BARSIC [14]
1. Domain.

We have x^2-2x-3 in the denominator, so:

x^2-2x-3\neq0\\\\(x^2-2x+1)-4\neq0\\\\(x-1)^2-4\neq0\\\\(x-1)^2-2^2\neq0\qquad\qquad[\text{use }a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)]\\\\(x-1-2)(x-1+2)\neq0\\\\&#10;(x-3)(x+1)\neq0\\\\\boxed{x\neq3\qquad\wedge\qquad x\neq-1}

So there is a hole or an asymptote at x = 3 and x = -1 and we know, that answer B) is wrong.

2. Asymptotes:

f(x)=\dfrac{x-3}{x^2-2x-3}=\dfrac{x-3}{(x-3)(x+1)}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{x+1}}

We have only one asymptote at x = -1 (and hole at x = 3), thus the correct answer is A)
