Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) lets use elimination to solve this:

multiply 10x+4y=24 with 3 in order to get "4y" into "12y"

3(10x+4y=24)

30x+12y=72

now subtract both equations to eliminate 'y"

30x+12y=72

6x+12y=48

---------------------

24x=24

x=1

now substitute 1 in the above equation:

6(1)+12y=48

6+12y=48

12y=42

y=7/2

Upon descent, an airplane is 20,000 feet above the ground. The air traffic control tower is 200 feet tall. It is determined that

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Base length of plane from control tower = 73,880 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of plane from ground = 20,000 feet

Height of control tower = 200 feet

Angle of elevation from control tower = 15°

Find:

Base length of plane from control tower

Computation:

Height of plane from control tower = 20,000 - 200

Height of plane from control tower = 19,800 feet

Tan θ = Perpendicular / Base

Tan15 = 19,800 / Base length of plane from control tower

0.268 = 19,800 / Base length of plane from control tower

Base length of plane from control tower = 73,880 feet (Approx.)

How many times does the equation f(x)=2x^2+9x-5 intersect the x-axis

Komok [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^2+9x-5

When we are find how many times it intersects the x axis, we are finding the zero's. Set the equation equal to zero

0=2x^2+9x-5

Factor the equation

0 = (2x+1) (x-5)

2*1

1*-5 = -5

2*-5 +1*1 = -9

This checks for the first last and middle terms so we factored correctly

Then using the zero product property

2x+1 = 0 and x-5 =0

2x = -1 x=5

x = -1/2 and x=5

This function crosses the x axis 2 times
