<span>The problem says that the distance D to the horizon is directly proportional to the square root of the elevation E of the observer, so:
</span>
 The person who is 36 feet above the water ⇒ √36=6 

 A person 49 feet above the water ⇒ √49=7
<span>
 So, by proportions, you have:

 (7/6)x7.4= 8.63 miles

 Therefore, the answer is: </span><span>a person 49 feet above the water can see 8.63 miles</span><span> </span>

The distance between Columbus,Ohio and New York City is about 560 miles how many hours would it take the train to travel between
sergey [27]
Since the distance is 560 miles and the bus goes 268 miles per hour, the answer can be given as:
If 268=1 hour
  560=?
560/268*1 hour =2(rounded to nearest ones)
Therefore it will take the train approximately 2 hours to travel between both cities.

Explain why y^2 = x (X input, y output) is not a function.
sveta [45]

y^2 = x isn't a function because there is at least one value of x that produces multiple values of y. In fact, any x value greater than 0 yields two y values. If x = 0, then y = 0 is the only solution. ... Graphically, the equation fails the vertical line test, which is another way to determine that it is not a function.
