Answer:

2100 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the y-intercept of the function y=-15x+2100  which can be used to model the height, y, of a parachute jumper x seconds after she jumps from an airplane.

To find the y-intercept, you substitute x=0 into the equation.

y=-15(0)+2100

Multiply by zero to get:

y=0+2100

Add zero to obtain:

'y=2100

Therefore the y-intercept, which is the initial height is 2100

Phillipe has 320 pieces of
tankabanditka [31]

The number of candies that will be <u>left over</u> after giving everyone an equal amount is equal to 23.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Total number of candy = 320 pieces
  • Number of classmates = 27 classmates

To calculate the number of candies that will be <u>left over</u> after giving everyone an equal amount:

In this exercise, you're required to determine the number of candies Phillipe would have as <u>left over</u> after giving everyone in his class an equal amount of candies.

<h3>How to solve this word problem.</h3>

Thus, we would find the number of times 27 would divide 320 without any remainder.

\frac{320}{27} = 11 \frac{23}{27}

  • From the mixed fraction, we can deduce that the remainder is 23.

Therefore, the number of candies that will be <u>left over</u> after giving everyone an equal amount is equal to 23.

Vertices A and B of triangle ABC are on one bank of a river, and vertex C is on the opposite bank. The distance between A and B
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The length of side b is 179 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle ABC in which  

∠A = 33°, ∠B = 63°, c=200

we have to find the length of b

In ΔABC, by angle sum property of triangle

∠A+∠B+∠C=180°

33°+63°+∠C=180°

∠C=180°-33°-63°=84°

By sine law,

\frac{\sin \angle A}{a}=\frac{\sin \angle B}{b}=\frac{\sin \angle C}{c}

\frac{\sin \angle B}{b}=\frac{\sin \angle C}{c}

\frac{\sin 63^{\circ}}{b}=\frac{\sin 84^{\circ}}{200}

b=200\times \frac{\sin 63^{\circ}}{\sin 84^{\circ}}=179.182887\sim 179 ft

The length of side b is 179 ft

Option C is correct.

WILL MARK BRILLIANT!!! I need help ASAP
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Charging by the quarter mile is for purpose of making that particular taxi service seem cheaper than the others when they post a per mile charge.  If this taxi company is charging .50 per 1/4 mile, they are charging $2 per mile.  So we will base our equation on the per mile charge, not the per quarter-mile charge.  If x is the number of mile driven (our uknown), and we have a flat fee of $2.50 regardless of how many miles we are driven, the cost function in terms of miles is

C(x) = 2x + 2.50

If we are driven 5 miles, then

C(5) = 2(5) + 2.50 so

C(5) = 10 + 2.50 and

C(5) = $12.50

It would cost $12.50 to be driven 5 miles
