Hello, I'll try to make this as easy to understand as possible, anyways, let's begin:

For this problem, we need a simple multiplication, we know that Olivia can walk 3 1/2 miles per hour, so we just multiply 3 1/2 by the number of hours that it tells us, but first, I like to convert the numbers, like this:

→ 3 1/2 can be turned into 7/2

→ 2 1/4 can be turned into 9/4

Then we multiply, like so:

7/2 * 9/4 = 63/8 = 7 7/8

So that means the answer is...

7 7/8.

Hope this helped! c:

Answer:

x = 8 sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle

sin 45 = opp side/ hypotenuse

sin 45 = 8/x

Multiply each side by x

x sin 45 = 8/x *x

x sin 45 = 8

Divide each side by sin 45

x sin 45 /sin 45 = 8 /sin 45

x = 8 / sin 45

We know sin 45 = 1/ sqrt (2)

x = 8 / 1 / sqrt(2)

x = 8 sqrt(2)

Which of the following is not equal to sin⁡(-230°)?

xenn [34]

From trigonometry we know that:

if $sin(\theta)=sin(\alpha)$

then, $\theta=n\pi+(-1)^n\alpha$ (where $n$ is an integer)

This can be rewritten in degrees as:

$\theta=n(180^{\circ})+(-1)^n\alpha$ .............(Equation 1)

Now, in our case, $\alpha=-230^{\circ}$

Therefore, (Equation 1) can be written as:

$\theta=n(180^{\circ})+(-1)^n(-230^{\circ})$ ..........(Equation 2)

Now, to find the correct options all that we have to do is replace n by relevant integers and find the values of $\theta$ that match.

For n=2, (Equation 2) gives us: $\theta=2\times 180^{\circ}+(-1)^2(-230^{\circ})=360^{\circ}-230^{\circ}=130^{\circ}$ .

Thus, $sin(230^{\circ})=sin(130^{\circ})$

Now, we know that: $-sin(-50^{\circ})=sin(50^{\circ})$

Let n=-1, then:

$\theta=(-1)\times 180^{\circ}+(-1)^{-1}(-230^{\circ})=-180^{\circ}+230^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$

Thus, $sin(-230^{\circ})=-sin(-50^{\circ})$

Likewise, $sin(-230^{\circ})=sin(50^{\circ})$

Only the last option $sin(-50^{\circ})$ will never match $sin(-230^{\circ})$ because no integral value of $n$ will ever give $\theta=-50^{\circ}$

Thus the last option is the correct option.

You notice a hot air balloon descending. The elevation h (in feet) of the balloon is modeled by the function h(x)=−11x+330, wher

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

1) Please find attached, the graph of the function

The domain of the function is 0 ≤ x ≤ 30

The range of the function is 330 ≥ x ≥ 0

2) The slope of the given equation, shows that the elevation decreases, by (-)11 feet for each increase in time by one second

3) The y-intercept gives the initial elevation of the balloon at time t = 0 seconds

The x-intercept gives the final elevation of the balloon when it lands at time t = 30 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The function modelling the height of the balloon is h(x) = -11x + 330

Where;

x = The time of elevation of the balloon

The data for the graphing derived from Microsoft Excel are as follows

x ${}$ h(x)

0 ${}$ 330

5 ${}$ 275

10 ${}$ 220

15 ${}$ 165

20 ${}$ 110

25 ${}$ 55

30 ${}$ 0

Please find attached, the graph of the function

The domain of the function is 0 ≤ x ≤ 30

The range of the function is 330 ≥ x ≥ 0

Comparing the given function to the general equation of a straight line, y = m·x + c, we have that the slope, m = -11

2) The slope of a straight line graph gives the rate of change of the dependent variable, per unit change in the independent variable

Therefore, the slope of the given equation, -11 gives the rate of change of the function per unit increase in the independent variable x

Therefore, the elevation decreases, by (-)11 feet for each increase in time by one second

3) The y-intercept gives the initial elevation of the balloon at time t = 0 seconds

The x-intercept gives the final elevation of the balloon when it lands at time t = 30 seconds
