We are given the relation between the height (in feet) and the distance (in miles) as follows:
y = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2).
We want to know the height (x) that makes the distance (y) = 10 miles
So, we will simply substitute in the above equation with y = 10 and calculate x as follows:
10 = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2)
we will square both sides to get rid of the root:
100 = 1.5x + (x/5280)^2
1.5x + (x/5280)^2 - 100 = 0
(x-66.11475)(x+7986.1147) = zero
either x = 66.11475 feet (accepted solution)
or x = -7986.1147 feet (rejected solution as no height is in negative)
Answer:
$3474.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the compound amount formula A = P(1 + r)^t. Here r is the rate as a decimal fraction and is -0.15. t represents the number of y ears. P is the initial value of the car.
Then: A = ($15,000)(1 - 0.15)^9, or
A = ($15,000)(0.85)^9 = $3474.25
It is negatively skewed to the right
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 is closer to zero than -2.25, which means -2 is greater than -2.25
