The rise or an increase in altitude is represented by positive sign and a decend or decrease in altitude is represented by negative sign.
First the helicopter descended 1200 feet. So the change in altitude will be -1200 feet.
Then the helicopter rose by 800 feet. So the change in altitude will be 800 feet.
Finally the helicopter descended by 450 feet. So the change in altitude will be -450 feet.
The net change in altitude will be the sum of all the above 3 changes.
Change in altitude = -1200 + 800 - 450 = -850 feet
The negative sign indicates a descend i.e. loss in altitude. So the net change in altitude was a loss of 850 feet.
Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(t) = -2t + 3
f(-2) = -2 x -2 + 3 [ substituting the value]
f(-2) = -4 + 3
f(-2) = -1
Answer: It will take 3.33 hours to complete it's entire route 10 times.
Step-by-step explanation: Time taken to complete it's entire route 3 times= 1 hour
∴Time taken to complete it's entire route 10times = 10/3
= 3.33 hours
Answer:
3127 mm3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 
b) 334,858 bacteria
c) 4.67 hours
d) 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Initial number of bacteria is the coefficient, that is, 250. And the growth rate is the coefficient besides “t”: 0.15. It’s rate of growth because of its positive sign; when it’s negative, it’s taken as rate of decay.
Another way to see that is the following:
Initial number of bacteria is N(0), which implies 
. And 
. The process is:
b) After 2 days means 
. So, we just replace and operate:
c) 
d)
