Answer:
<em>The air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rate of Change</u>
The rate of change is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how one variable changes in time.
The hot air balloon was 4,064 feet high and, 28 minutes later, it went to 3,322 feet. We can calculate the rate of descent R by dividing the change of elevation over time:
Thus the air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute
Answer:
<em>The coordinates of P are (-2,0)</em>
<em>The radius of the circle is 5.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Analytic geometry</u>
The diagram shows a circle with center P, and two points A(-6,3) and B(2,-3) that form the diameter of the circle.
a)
The center of the circle lies at the midpoint of A and B. The midpoint (xm,ym) can be calculated by:
Substituting x1=-6, x2=2, y1=3, y2=-3:
Thus, the coordinates of P are (-2,0)
b) The radius of the circle is the distance from the center to any point in its circumference. We can use the distance from P to A or B indistinctly.
Given two points A(x1,y1) and P(x2,y2), the distance between them is:
Substituting x1=-6, x2=-2, y1=3, y2=0:
The radius of the circle is 5.
