So in 1 hour, the parachutist will fall 12 miles or
12 mi/1hour

convert
1 hour=60 mins
1 min=60 seconds
1 hour=60 times 60 seconds=360 seconds
12 miles per 360 seconds

convert miles to feet
5280 feet per mile
12 miles times 5280=63360 feet

63360/360
do the math and simplify
63360/360=6336/36=176

176 feet per second

2. Rainey graphed a function with exponential growth and an initial value of 15. Which of the following could represent the equa

Mars2501 [29]

Exponential equation are functions defined by $y =ab^x$

The equation that could represent Rainey graph must take the form $y =15b^x$

<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>

An exponential equation is represented as:

$y =ab^x$

Where:

a represents the initial value
b represents the rate

The initial value (a) is 15.

So, the equation becomes

$y =15b^x$

The graph is not given;

So, the equation cannot be determined.

Assume that the rate is 2.

Then the function would be: $y =15(2)^x$

Q7Which statement is incorrect for the graph of thefunction y = -5 cosGcos( 3 (x – 3)) +62The period is 4.The amplitude is 3.The

guajiro [1.7K]

The given function is,

$y=-5\cos (\frac{\pi}{2}(x-3))+6$

The graph can be drawn as,

The period will be distance between two consequetive maximas,

$\text{Period}=1-(-3)=4$

Thus, period is correct.

The amplitude can be determined as,

$\begin{gathered} Amplitude=\frac{\max -\min }{2} \\ =\frac{11-1}{2} \\ =5 \end{gathered}$

Thus, amplitue is incorrect.

The range is,

$y\in\lbrack1,11\rbrack$

Thus, the range is correct.

The midline is,

$\begin{gathered} \text{midline}=\frac{\max +\min }{2} \\ =\frac{1+11}{2} \\ =6 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the midline is correct.

Thus, option (b) is the solution.

Sid and Libby are planning to sell pies at a local fair.
=> $200 to rent a table at the fair.<span>
=> $3.00 per pie </span>costs for ingredients, other supplies, baking, and packaging<span>
They plan to sell the pies for $8 each.
Let's find out how many pies will they be selling inorder to gain profit
=> 200 + 3.00(n) = 8(n), where n is the number of pie.
Let's try 40
=> 200 + 3(40) = 8 (40)
=> 320 = 320
</span>=> 200 + 3(41) = 8 (41)
=> 323 = 328
<span>Thus, in their 41st pie, they will get a profit
