First let's reduce the feet to miles
there are 5280 feet in a mile therefore
26400 feet=5 miles
31680 feet=6 miles
Jet A(the first jet) descends 5 miles in 96 miles
Jet B(the second jet) descends 6 miles in 120 miles
We can compare these as fractions to see which is steeper. This can be viewed as slope and the origin (0,0) is the airport.
slope: 6/120=?=5/96
1/20=?=5/96
Now we know that 5/100 =1/20 so 5/96 must be bigger than 5/100 because you are dividing by a smaller number.
so 1/20<5/96
So Jet B is descending steeper than Jet A.
As for linear model, I don't exactly know what your teacher means but I think I actually used the linear model when I'm thinking of steepness as slope in the coordinate plane, I will include a picture.
In this extremely zoomed out graph, you can see the blue line is just slighly higher than the red line(slope as in explanation is way easier to tell) this could be seen as the linear model) :) Hope it helped!
Here are some factors of 20!
1x20=20
2x10=20
4x5=20
5x4=20
Therefore there are 4 factors of 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the first derivative
Set the derivative equal to 0.
or
For any number less than -1, the derivative function will have a Positve number thus a Positve slope for f(x).
For any number, between -1 and 1, the derivative slope will have a negative , thus a negative slope.
Since we are going to Positve to negative slope, we have a local max at x=-1
Plug in -1 for x into the original function
So the local max is 2 and occurs at x=-1,
For any number greater than 1, we have a Positve number for the derivative function we have a Positve slope.
Since we are going to decreasing to increasing, we have minimum at x=1,
Plug in 1 for x into original function
So the local min occurs at -2, at x=1
Answer:
-1.2 Degree Fahrenheit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since,
The average daily changes, total changes/number of days
Here,
The total changes = - 16.8° F ( - sign shows the decreasing )
And, the number of days = 14
So,
The average daily rate of change in the high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is -1.2° F.
