2. A spy uses a telescope to track a rocket launched vertically from a launch pad 6 km away. The rocket travels upwards at a vel

ocity of 21.6 km per minute. Find the rate of change of the distance between the spy and the rocket when the rocket is 8 km in the air. Answer: 17.28 km/mim

Answer:

The rate of change in distance between the spy and the rocket is 10.8 km/min,

or about 180 m/sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

At "Time=0" the rocket is 6km from the spy.

The rocket travels vertically 8km in about 0.37 minutes, calculated by 8km÷21.6km/min.

At that point, the rocket is 10 km from the spy., calculated by 6²+8²=10²

The difference is 4 kiilometers over 0.37minutes, about 22.2 seconds

Divide Distance by Time to get Rate:

4km/0.37min = 10.8 km/min

That is about 180 meters per second.

Turn the written information into a equation (exponential function):
zmey [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

common ratio is usually used for geometric sequences.

every term is created by multiplying the previous term by a certain constant factor (= common ratio).

this factor or common ratio is in our case 4.

such a sequence is a function f(x) for x being whole numbers.

a0 = 1

a1 = a0×4 = 1×4 = 4

a2 = a1×4 = 4×4 = 16

...

an = 4^n

as general function that is then

f(x) = 4^x

a horizontal shift right by 6 units means that now the functional value of x is the same as it was for (x-6) before the shift.

e.g. f_new(6) = f_old(0)

so, the function is

f(x) = 4^(x - 6) or (4^x)/4⁶

What is 51/2 × 21/3? <br><br> A. 132/5<br> B. 131/6<br> C. 127/8<br> D. 125/6
IRINA_888 [86]
In multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators and denominators.
51 / 2 * 21 / 3
can be reduced as

(17 / 2) * (21 / 1)
357 / 2 --> This is the answer based on the given.

Assume that its a mixed fraction:
5 1/2 * 2 1/3
11/2 * 7/3
= 77 /6
