A plane that carries mail makes a round trip each day from Chicago to New York. It makes 2 intermediate stops on the way to New

York and 1 intermediate stop on the way back to Chicago. Suppose you make a graph of the altitude of the plane for one day, with time on the horizontal axis and altitude on the vertical axis. How many times will the graph touch the horizontal axis?
A. 3
B. 6
C. 5
D. 9

Answer:

Option: C

Step-by-step explanation:

As going from Chicago to New York the plane makes two intermediate stops.

This means that the graph will touch the Horizontal axis

at initial point when the flight is at Chicago

Next at the first intermediate stop

then at the next intermediate stop

finally after reaching New York

After going back from New York to Chicago

This means that the graph will touch the horizontal axis

first initially at New York
Then at the intermediate stop
Finally on reaching Chicago

but the Point on the Horizontal axis at New York and Chicago is counted twice

Hence, the total times the graph will touch the horizontal axis is 5.

Hence, option: C is correct.

What is the value of f(3) in the function f(x)=5/6x+8

natita [175]

For this case we have a function of the form $y = f (x)$ , where $f (x) = \frac {5} {6} x + 8$

We must find the value of the function when $x = 3$ , that is, we must find f (3). So:

$f (3) = \frac {5} {6} (3) + 8\\f (3) = \frac {15} {6} +8\\f (3) = \frac {5} {2} +8\\f (3) = 2.5 + 8\\f (3) = 10.5$

So $f (3) = 10.5$

Answer:

$f (3) = 10.5$

the area of a rectangular field is x^2-x-72m^2. the length of the field is x+8m. what is the width of the field in meters?

olga nikolaevna [1]

So first off, remember the formula for the area of a rectangle. it's length time width right? or, you could think that A= 2 things multiplied together. how can we simplify x^2 - x -72 to equal two things multiplied together? well, we can factor it! We know that one of the factors is x+8 right? so what's the other factor? it would be x-9. so, we know width is x-9. I'm not sure if you need an actual value for width. if so, I could probably go further.

A circle has a radius that is 4 centimeters long. If a central angle has a measure of 3 radians, what is the length of the arc t

kirill115 [55]

The total length of the circle is calculated by the following formula:

Lenght = 2.π.r

As r = 4c

Then,

Lenght = 2.π.4

Lenght = 8π centimetrs

Now use the rule of 3

But we have to know:

...<..> ...

Then,

8π ________ 2π <= 360°

x ________ 3π

2π . x = 8π . 3π

x = (8π . 3π) / 2π

x = (8 . 3π)/ 2

x = 12π centimenters

x ~ 37,69 c

A game costs $39.00. But the new special edition version is going to be $56.94. What is the increased percent?

astraxan [27]

Answer:

46%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Make an expression</u>

<u /> $39.00 * x = 56.94$

$39x = 56.94$

<u>Step 2: Divide both sides by 39</u>

<u /> $39x / 39 = 56.94 / 39$

$x = 1.46$

<u>Step 3: Find the percent</u>

<u /> $1.46 - 1$ -> Gives us the increased percent

$0.46 * 100$

46%

Answer: 46%
