Answer:
One box of granola bars costs $3.35.
Step-by-step explanation:
36.85/11=3.35
From the astronaut to the horizon is a tangent line to the curvature of the earth. And from that point on the horizon to the center of the earth is at a right angle to the tangent and is equal to the radius of the earth...so we can say
cosα=r/(r+h) where r is the radius of the earth and h is the height above the surface of the earth...
α=arccos(r/(r+h))
now tanα=d/r where d is the distance from the astronaut to the point on the horizon so:
tan(arccos(r/(r+h))=d/r
d=rtan(arccos(r/(r+h))) and using r≈4000 and h=50 we get:
d=4000tan(arccos(4000/(4050)))
d≈634.42mi
d≈634 mi (to nearest mile)
Answer:
The vertex is (-3, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
As the equation is already in 'rectangular form), to work out the vertex, we can just compare this equation to that of the standard parabola y = x^2, and in particular, consider how it has been translated:
the (x+3) part moves the graph the the left 3 (i.e in the negative direction), while the +7 moves the graph up 7.
So as the vertex of the simple parabola y = x^2 is (0,0), the vertex of this graph is just (-3,7).
Note that the -2 at the front doesn't impact this vertex - this -2 just changes the 'scale' of the parabola (i.e makes it more narrow, and also turns it upside down as it's a negative number).
