Answer:
D.) (14, 0); the time it takes for the bird to reach the ground
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached graph shows a plot of the table values and the two offered solution options.
The dependent variable in this scenario is the bird's height above the ground. When that is zero, the bird is on the ground. This fact makes choices B and C seem ridiculous.
We note from the table and graph that the bird is on a path that decreases in height by 3 feet every 2 seconds. If the bird continues that rate of descent, it will reach the ground after 14 seconds.
That is, its (time, height) pair will be (14, 0), matching choice D.
_____
Choosing any answer to this question requires making assumptions that are inconsistent with real-world bird behavior. At least, the problem statement should say what assumptions are applicable.
Answer:
P = 33
A = 3900
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The point is (2,-2)
Explanation:
Answer:
The angles are 79.45, 59.02 and 41.53 degrees to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a triangle with sides of length 8.6, 5.8 and 7.5 feet.
Using the Cosine Rule to find the measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8.6 feet:
cos X = (8.6^2 - 5.8^2 - 7.5^2) / ( -2*5.8*7.5)
= 0.18310
X = 79.45 degrees.
We can now find another angle using the sine rule:
8.6 / sin 79.45 = 7.5/ sin Y
sin Y = (7.5 * sin 79.45) / 8.6
Y = 59.02 degrees
So the third angle = 180 - 79.45 - 59.02
= 41.53 degrees.
