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

Anastaziya [24]
|2x - 5| - 2 = 3      |add 2 to both sides

|2x - 5| = 5 ⇔ 2x - 5 = 5 or 2x - 5 = -5    |add 5 to both sides

2x = 10 or 2x = 0      |divide both sides by 2

x = 5 or x = 0

research suggests that the probability of a certain fuse malfunctioning increases exponentially as the concentration of an impur
Gennadij [26K]
Given that the probability <span>is modeled by the function
y=3(257,959)^x[tex]  where x is the impurity &#10;concentration and y, given as a percent, is the probability of the fuse &#10;malfunctioning.\\Then, the probability of the fuse malfunctioning for an impurity concentration of 0.17 is given by [tex]y=3(257,959)^{0.17}=3(8.316941)=24.95

Therefore, the <span>probability of the fuse malfunctioning for an impurity concentration of 0.17 is 25% to the nearest percent.</span>
