Answer:
cos q = 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard position means the vertex (point or corner of the angle) is at (0,0) and one side of the angle is glued to the positive x-axis (facts, but not technical math terms) See image. Special triangles have all three sides nice and clean with whole number lengths, we call these Pythagorean triples. 3-4-5 is your most basic Pythagorean triple. So we don't even have to calculate the hypotenuse, see image. Now the triangle shown is easy to work with, using entry-level trig...cos = ADJ/HYP. So we get 3/5=.6 BUUuuuut, the angle q in the original problem is actually the giant angle, marked in yellow (see image) and we're in the fourth quadrant which means there's negative numbers all over the place. So just to be sure the answer is .6 and not -.6 Check your signs. One trick to remember is the ASTC markings in the quadrants. I use All Students Take Calculus, but what it means is in the first quadrant All the trig functions are positive. Only Sine (and fam) are positive in the 2nd quadrant. Tan (and fam) in the 3rd and Cos and fam in the 4th quadrant. It's a good quick check.
cos q = 3/5 OR cos q = .6
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear model represents the height, f(x), of a water balloon thrown off the roof of a building over time, x, measured in seconds: A linear model with ordered pairs at 0, 60 and 2, 75 and 4, 75 and 6, 40 and 8, 20 and 10, 0 and 12, 0 and 14, 0. The x axis is labeled Time in seconds, and the y axis is labeled Height in feet. Part A: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height increasing? (2 points) Part B: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height staying the same? (2 points) Part C: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height decreasing the fastest? Use complete sentences to support your answer. (3 points) Part D: Use the constraints of the real-world situation to predict the height of the water balloon at 16 seconds.
Answer:
Part A:
Between 0 and 2 seconds, the height of the balloon increases from 60 feet to 75 feet at a rate of 7.5 ft/s
Part B:
Between 2 and 4 seconds, the height stays constant at 75 feet.
Part C:
Between 4 and 6 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 75 feet to 40 feet at a rate of -17.5 ft/s
Between 6 and 8 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 40 feet to 20 feet at a rate of -10 ft/s
Between 8 and 10 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 20 feet to 0 feet at a rate of -10 ft/s
Hence it fastest decreasing rate is -17.5 ft/s which is between 4 to 6 seconds.
Part D:
From 10 seconds, the balloon is at the ground (0 feet), it continues to remain at 0 feet even at 16 seconds.
Based on the characteristics of <em>linear</em> and <em>piecewise</em> functions, the <em>piecewise</em> function 
is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)
<h3>How to determine a piecewise function</h3>
In this question we have a graph formed by two different <em>linear</em> functions. <em>Linear</em> functions are polynomials with grade 1 and which are described by the following formula:
y = m · x + b (1)
Where:
- x - Independent variable.
- y - Dependent variable.
- m - Slope
- b - Intercept
By direct observation and by applying (1) we have the following <em>piecewise</em> function:

Answer:
11 hours she worked at the grocery store
Step-by-step explanation:
assuming,
the number of hours worked at tutoring = x
the number of hours worked at grocery store = y
which means,
the amount she made at tutoring = x* $15
the amount she made at grocery store = y*$9
we have 2 equations
<em>total number of hours</em>
1) x+y= 15
<em>total amount she earned</em>
2) x* $15+ y* $9= $159
From equation 1
x+y= 15
x=15-y
<em>we replace this x value in equation 2</em>
x* $15+ y* $9= $159
(15-y)* $15+ y* $9= $159
(15*15)- 15y+9y=159
225-6y=159
225-159=6y
66=6y
66/6=y
<u>11=y</u> <em>the number of hours she worked at grocery store. </em>
<em>we place y=11 in our derived x equation</em>
x=15-y
x=15-11
<u><em>x=4 </em></u><em>the number of hours she worked at tutoring. </em>
