From SOH CAH TOA, you know that
.. Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
.. sin(π/3) = (5 miles)/Hypotenuse
.. Hypotenuse = (5 miles)/sin(π/3) = 5/(√3/2) miles ≈ 5.774 miles

The straight-line distance from Katie to the helicopter is about 5.77 miles.

Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay, and determine the percentage r
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

  • Decay
  • Decrease rate is 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function:</u>

  • y = 490(0.92)^x

The base of the exponent is 0.92. This represents a decay as 0.92 is less than 1. It would be a growth function is the base was greater than 1.

<u>The rate of decrease is </u>

  • 0.92 times

<u>Percent decrease is </u>

  • (1 - 0.92)*100% = 8%

5. Katie makes and sells scarves. Her monthly profit is given by P(s) = -s2 + 25s - 100, where "s" is the selling price. For wha
Marat540 [252]

Answer: s > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-s² + 25s - 100 > 0

Coefficient of s² is -1, multiply the equation through by -1.

-1 × (-s² + 25s - 100)

s² — 25s + 100

ax² + bx + c

Then you get the factors x and y that gives x + y = b and xy = c

b = -25 and c = 100, x = -20 and y = -5

-20 × -5 = 100 and -20 + -5 = -25

Then

s² — 20s — 5s + 100 > 0

Factorising,

s (s — 20) — 5(s — 20) > 0

(s — 5)(s — 20) > 0

(s — 5) > 0 and (s — 20) > 0

s>5 and s>20

s > 5

Hope this Helps?
