First step is to convert the miles to feet
1 mile = 5280 feet

3 miles x 5280 feet = 15,840 feet.
 now both the height and distance is in feet
 
the angle of elevation is found by calculating the arctan of the height/ distance

arctan(4080 / 15840) = 14.44 degrees

round the answer if needed.

A quadratic function passes through the points ( − 5 , − 8 ) and ( 8 , − 8 ) . Find the equation for the line (axis) of symmetry
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The equation for the axis of symmetry is x=1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a quadratic function passes through the points ( − 5 , − 8 ) and ( 8 , − 8 ) .

In the given points y-coordinates are same, i.e., -8. It means both the points lie on the horizontal line y=-8.

If a quadratic function passes through two points (a,c) and (b,c), then the equation for the axis of symmetry is

x=\frac{a+b}{2}

According to the given points a=-5, b=8 and c=-8. Put these value in the above formula.

x=\frac{-5+8}{2}

x=\frac{3}{2}

x=1.5

Therefore the equation for the axis of symmetry is x=1.5.

The Malcolms are taking a trip. Midville is 214 miles
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

642 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of Midville from their home = 214 miles

Walesburg is 3 times as far.

How far is Walesburg from their home?

Distance of Walesburg from their home = 3 × Distance of Midville from their home

= 3 × 214 miles

= 642 miles

Distance of Walesburg from their home = 642 miles

PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY I WILL MARK BRAINIEST AND 70 POINT
kykrilka [37]

a) You are given the rate as 7.4m/min,

The equation would become d = 7.4t where d is the total distance and t would be the total number of minutes.

b) d would be a positive number because the diver is ascending, which means he is moving up towards the surface.

c) To find how long it took the diver, replace d with 41.36 ( how deep the diver was) and solve for t:

41.36 = 7.4t

To solve for t, divide both sides by 7.4:

t = 41.36 / 7.4

t = 5.59 minutes ( 5 minutes and 35 seconds)
