Which equation is perpendicular to the y axis

1 answer:

6 0

C is the only one that is perpendicular.
The quickest way I can explain it is that the y-axis runs up and down, making the slope undefined. Something perpendicular to an undefined slope is a 0-slope. The only equation of the choices that has a 0-slope is C. Comment if you want a more detailed answer.

What part of an hour passes between 11:24 am and 415 am

Bas_tet [7]

Using proportions, it is found that 1685% of an hour passes between 11:24 am and 415 am.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

One hour is composed by 60 minutes. Between 11:24 am and 4:15 am, there are 16 hours and 51 minutes, hence the number of minutes is given by:

M = 16 x 60 + 51 = 1011 minutes.

As a percentage of one hour = 60 minutes, we have that this measure is:

1011/60 x 100% = 1685%.

Hence 1685% of an hour passes between 11:24 am and 415 am.

A set of four postcards costs $1.00. Single postcards cost $0.50. What is the least amount of money you

shepuryov [24]

Answer: 3 Sets of the 4 post cards and 3 of the single post cart sets.

Step-by-step explanation:

You buy 3 of the 4 post card set becuase that is the most you can get of those to get under 15 post cards.

You would now have 12 postcards now you have to buy 3 of the single set to get to 15 cards

Kendra dives off a diving board into the water and then comes back up to the surface. Her dive can be modeled by the equation: ,

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

1. 6 feet

2. 6.25 feet

3. 1 feet

4. 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is : $h(x)=x^2-7x+6$

1. The diving board is where Kendra dives off. Here, the horizontal distance, x from the diving board is 0.

So, substituting x = 0 in the equation, we get

$h(0)=0^2-7(0)+6$

$=0-0+6$

$=6$

So, the diving board is 6 feet above the surface of the water.

2. From the equation, we known that it is a parabola and the vertex is minimum.

It is the minimum height which represents the depth Kendra dives into the water.

So the $x$ coordinate of the vertex is = $\frac{-b}{2a}$

Here, a and b are the coefficients of linear term and the quadratic terms in the equation. Therefore,

a = 1 and b = -7

∴ x coordinate = $\frac{-(-7)}{2 \times 1}$

$\frac{7}{2}=3.5$

Now substituting to find f(x),

$h(3.5)=(3.5)^2-7(3.5)+6$

= -6.25

Therefore, the diver dives 6.25 feet below the water surface.

3. The horizontal distance from the board the diver enters into the water.

This is the y-intercept and it is the value of x when h(x)=0.

∴ $0=x^2-7x+6$

Factorizing, we get $(x-1)(x-6)=0$

∴ $x=1 \text{ or}\ x=6$

So there are two solutions that are the two x intercepts of the function. Here at x = 1 shows the horizontal distance from the board from where Kendra dives into the water.

4. We know that the equation given has $\text{two}$ x intercepts. These two x intercepts are the points where the parabola crosses the x-axis, which is the height $h(x)=0$ . The height is the water surface level.
