Answer:
Avis Company is a car rental company that is located three miles from the Los Angeles airport (LAX). Avis is dispatching a bus from its offices to the airport every 2 minutes. The average traveling time (round-trip) is 20 minutes.
a. How many Avis buses are traveling to and from the airport?
b. The branch manager wants to improve the service and suggests dispatching buses every 0.5 minutes. She argues that this will reduce the average traveling time from the airport to Avis offices to 2.5 minutes. Is she correct? If your answer is negative, then what will the average traveling time be?
The answers to the question are
a. 10 buses
b. Yes, increasing the fleet by a factor of 4 will reduce the apparent average travel time from the airport to Avid offices from 10 minutes to 2.5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of buses dispatched every 20 minutes= 20÷2=10
Therefore 10 Avid buses are travelling to and from the Los Angeles airport
b. By dispatching every 0.5 minutes we have 20÷0.5 = 40 buses.
Since with 10 buses it takes 10 minutes to make the journey from the airport to Avid offices, then it would take 40 buses 10÷4 = 2.5 minutes time to deliver what it took 10 buses, 10 minutes to deliver.

Answer:
24°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle between the vertical line AB and the horizontal dashed line at A is 90°. That is, ...
66° + ? = 90°
? = 90° -66° = 24°
The angle of depression is 24°.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The sum of angles in the triangle is 180°, so the angle at C (the angle of elevation) is the same as the angle we just figured:
∠C + 90° +66° = 180°
∠C +66° = 90° . . . . . . . subtracting 90°; shows C is complementary to 66°
∠C = 90° -66° = 24°
As a rule, the angle of elevation and the angle of depression are the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
tangent = opposite / hypothenus
tan C = ED / DC
tan C = 28 / 53

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of pencils at the beginning of the school year is 100. Since the pencils which she allowed the students to borrow is not usually returned. The rate at which she loses the pencils per month would constant. So the slope of the graph if number of pencils is plotted on the y axis and the months on the x axis,
The slope, m would be - 8 pencils per month because it is reducing
The equation for slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
Where
c = intercept
To determine c, we would substitute y = 100, x = 0 and m = 8 into the slope intercept equation. Ut becomes
100 = - 8×0 + c
c = 100
The equation becomes
y = - 8x + 100
