<u>Answer</u>


1.6 miles


<u>Explanation.</u>

Am trying to interpret this question and am finding that you want to find the vertical change in elevation which you are calling S.

Hoping my interpretation is correct, this is how you solve it.


You are going to use the trigonometric ratio, tangent.

TanФ = opposite/adjacent


tan 15° = S/6


S = 6×tan15°

= 6 × 0.267949192

= 1.607695155


Answer

S = 1.6 miles

3x=6y. i need help to turn that into y-intercept form and find tge y intercept. Help please
evablogger [386]
3x = 6y

to get this into slope-intercept form, you simply need to solve for y. remember that slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is your slope and b is your y-intercept.

3x = 6y ... divide both sides by 6
1/2x = y
y = 1/2x is your equation in slope-intercept form. because no "b" value is present, your intercept will simply be 0.

An average person in the United States throws away 4.5 × 10² grams of trash per day. In 2013, there were about 3.2×106 people in
enyata [817]

Answer:

Since there are 4.5*10^2 grams of trash per day per person, we multiply that by 3.2*10^6 for everyone in the US and then multiply that by 365 to get how much in a year, which is 525600000000 or 5.256*10^11 (I think it's 11)

What is dy/dx if y = (x2 + 2)3(x3 + 3)2? A. 3(x2 + 2)2(x3 + 3)2 + 2(x2 + 2)2(x3 + 3) B. 2x(x3 + 3)2 + 3x2(x2 + 2)3 C. 6x(x2 + 2)
Vlada [557]
We want to find \displaystyle{  \frac{dy}{dx}, for

            \displaystyle{ y=(x^2+2)^3(x^3+3)^2.

Recall the product rule: for 2 differentiable functions f and g, the derivative of their product is as follows:

                                  (fg)'=f'g+g'f.

Thus,

 y'=[(x^2+2)^3]'[(x^3+3)^2]+[(x^3+3)^2]'[(x^2+2)^3]\\\\ =3(x^2+2)^2(x^3+3)^2+2(x^3+3)(x^2+2)^3

Answer: A)      3(x^2+2)^2(x^3+3)^2+2(x^3+3)(x^2+2)^3.
