After traveling for 4 hours and 1800 miles, an airplane begins a steady descent. When it begins descending, its altitude (height

) is 33,000 feet. After 8 minutes, it is at 17,000 feet. Answer the questions to write a function that models the plane's altitude.

Answer:

<h2>S=33000-2000t</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Let A be the altitude of the plane

Hence we can define a function that represents this scenario.

the rate at which the plane's altitude decreases is

=33000-17000/8

= 16000/8

=2000

The rate of decrease is 2000 ft per minute.

Thus for anytime "t" the expression for the altitude is

S=33000-2000t-------where t is the time in minute.

say we want to find altitude after 12 minutes

then t=12

substitute  in the expression we have

S=33000-2000(12)

S=33000-24000

S=9000ft

Answer:

Part 1)  Descending Rate = -2,000 ft/min

Part 2)  Starting altitude value is 33,000 ft

Part 3)  The linear equation for the plane's altitude (y) as a function of time (x) is:  

Part 4)  The information not used for the equation is that the plane was travelling for 4 hours to cover 1800 miles before starting the descent

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

The rate at which the airplane descends is given by the difference between final and initial altitude (17,000 ft-33,000 ft) divided the elapsed time (8 minutes):

Part 2)

When graphing the descent (that is the plane's altitude as a function of time), the starting value for the altitude should be 33,000 ft

Part 3)

We can build the equation of the plane's altitude as a function of time in slope y-intercept form y = m x + b

by noticing that the slope "m" stands for the rate of descent that we found in part 1), and then using the information that at time zero (when the plane starts its descent), its altitude is 33000 ft:

with this information about the intercept "b", we can write the final expression for the plane's altitude as a function of time during its descent as:

Part 4)

The information that was not used to write the descent equation was the initial details about how long the plane traveled (4 hours) and for 1800 miles.

Answer:

X = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+4=-2x+10 \\4 - 10 =  - 2x - 4x \\  - 6 =  - 6x \\  - 6x =  - 6 \\ x =  \frac{ - 6}{ - 6}  \\ x = 1

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST A bicycle manufacturing company makes a particular type of bike. Each child bike requires 4 hours to buil
Alona [7]

Using a system of equations, it is found that since 20 child bikes and 6 adult bikes would require more testing than the allocated time, it is not possible to build this amount.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable c: number of child bikes.
  • Variable a: number of adult bikes.

Each child bike requires 4 hours to build, as do each adult bike. The company has 100 hours of testing, hence:

4c + 4a = 100.

c + a = 25.

With 20 child bikes and 6 adult bikes in a week, we have that c = 20, a = 26, hence:

c + a = 26

20 child bikes and 6 adult bikes would require more testing than the allocated time, it is not possible to build this amount.
