You are driving up a mountain. At the base of the mountain you see a sign that states the elevation above sea level is 3,720 fee

t at this point. You then travel a horizontal distance of 5 miles to the top of the mountain, and see another sign that states the elevation is 4,215 feet above sea level. What was the average slope of the mountain you just climbed in feet/mile?
A) 843 ft/mi
B) 744 ft/mi
C) 99 ft/mi
D) 0.0188 ft/mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the mountain

= Rise in height / Run in distance

= (4215ft - 3720ft) / 5 mi

= 495ft / 5mi

= 99ft/mi. (C)

Find the equation of a line that passes through the points (-1,-5) and (-3,-4). Leave your answer in the form y=mx+c
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

y = -1/2x - 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

-4 - (-5) / -3 - (-1)

1/ -2

= -1/2

y = -1/2x + b

-5 = -1/2(-1) + b

-5 = 1/2 + b

-11/2 = b

X + 2y = 10<br> 3x + 4y = 8<br><br> Which point is the solution to the system of equations?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

x = -12

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

i used substitution and let 'x' = 10 - 2y

3(10 - 2y) + 4y = 8

30 - 6y + 4y = 8

30 -2y = 8

-2y = -22

y = 11

x + 2(11) = 10

x + 22 = 10

x = -12

A group of engineers is building a parabolic satellite dish whose shape will be formed by rotating the curve y=ax 2 about the y-
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a = \frac{1}{2}. Surface Area = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}. and area of the Dish = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+pi4^{2} = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+50.27=51.6ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Constant. y(x) = ax^{2} that is the curve that we need to rotate around the y axis to get the parabola with diameter of 8 feet and 2 meter depth that statement is translated in mathematics as x = -4 to 4 and y = 0 to 2.

y max = 2, x max = 4 setting up a equation with a unknown gives

2=a4 and  a = \frac{1}{2}.

so we have now.

y(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} (Done with solving for a Constant).

(2) Surface Area.

Setting Up surface integral.

(i) range in x = 0 to 4.

(ii) range in y = 0 to 2.

integral is.

Integral(0-2)[{integral[(0-4)\frac{1}{32}x^{2}]}]dy

Evaluating this integral gives. \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}.

and area is surface area + area of the circle with 8ft diameter.

= \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+pi4^{2} = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+50.27=51.6ft^{2}...

Note the Difference between area and aurface area.!
