Explanation:
x = number of seconds that elapse
y = altitude (aka height) of the plane
The equation for plane A is
y = 20.25x+2652
because it starts off at 2652 ft in the air, and then adds on 20.25 feet per second which is what the 20.25x describes
The equation for plane B is
y = 75.5x
The y intercept is zero because plane B starts on the ground, aka height 0.
------------------
The system of equations is
If we want to know when they'll reach the same height (y), then we can set the two right hand sides equal to each other and solve for x.
75.5x = 20.25x+2652
75.5x-20.25x = 2652
55.25x = 2652
x = (2652)/(55.25)
x = 48
The two planes reach the same altitude at exactly <u>48 seconds</u>
That altitude is <u>3624 feet</u> because
- y = 20.25*x + 2652 = 20.25*48+2652 = 3624
- y = 75.5*x = 75.5*48 = 3624
Notice I plugged x = 48 into each equation and I got the same y value of y = 3624. This helps confirm the answers.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Choice D, x-2
Discussion:
Observe the the highest order term in the numerator is x^4 and the highest order term in the denominator is x^3. So the highest order term in their quotient is x^4/x^3 = x. Choice D is the only possible answer as all other choices start with x^2

Answer:
15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem involves using the Pythagorean theorem, since the figure made with the ladder, building, and ground would make a right triangle. You are given the values 17ft and 8ft, which is enough to plug into the Pythagorean theorem.
The ladder, 17ft, would be the longest side (hypotenuse). The 8ft building would be one of the legs of the right triangle.
1. Plug your given values correctly into the Pythagorean Theorem.
2. Now solve for b, which is your unknown distance (the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the bottom of the building).
--> Square 8 and 17
--> Subtract 64 from both sides
--> Square root both sides to get b by itself
b = 15
3. The distance is 15 feet
*Note: to make solving this problem easier, try drawing out the given situation, namely the building and the ladder
