X-1.5=5.25
X=5.25+1.5
X=6.75
The initial elevation of the plane is 6.75 miles
Hope it helps!

The Barnes family has a coupon for 10% off their dinner. If their bill comes to $82.50 and they wish to tip 15%, what will they

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Total cost= $86.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Discount= 10%

Nill= $82.5

Tip= 15%

First, we need to calculate the discounted price:

Discount price= 82.5 / 1.1= $75

Now, the tip:

Tip= 75*0.15= $11.25

Finally, the total cost:

Total cost= 75 + 11.25

Total cost= $86.25

The coordinates of an ordered pair have opposite signs. In which quadrant(s) must the ordered pair lie? Explain.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Alright...so the coordinates of an ordered pair have opposite signs [one sign is positive while the other is negative] so we could have an example of (-x,+y) or (+x,-y) ...that means out of the 4 quadrants these points could be in the 2nd quadrant or the 4th quadrant or corners of the graph

Identify the x-intercepts of the function below f(x)=x^2+12x+24

damaskus [11]

ANSWER:

x-intercepts of $\mathrm{x}^{2}+12 \mathrm{x}+24=0 \text { are }(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})$

SOLUTION:

Given, $f(x)=x^{2}+12 x+24$ -- eqn 1

x-intercepts of the function are the points where function touches the x-axis, which means they are zeroes of the function.

Now, let us find the zeroes using quadratic formula for f(x) = 0.

$X=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Here, for (1) a = 1, b= 12 and c = 24

$X=\frac{-(12) \pm \sqrt{(12)^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 24}}{2 \times 1}$

$\begin{array}{l}{X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{144-96}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{48}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{16 \times 3}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm 4 \sqrt{3}}{2}} \\ {X=\frac{2(-6+2 \sqrt{3})}{2}, \frac{2(-6-2 \sqrt{3})}{2}} \\\\ {X=(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})}\end{array}$

Hence the x-intercepts of $\mathrm{x}^{2}+12 \mathrm{x}+24=0 \text { are }(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})$
