Sarah,

Let x = cost of notebook

let y = cost of thumbdrive

For Troy   5x + 5y = 75

For Lisa    2x + 6y = 78

Troy's equation let's divide it by 5 and get

x+ y = 15     multiply by -2

-2x -2y  = -30

2x + 6y = 78    Add equations

      4y = 48

Solve for y.  Then plug it in one of the original equations and solve for x.  Check by plugging into the other original equations

From an airplane at an altitude of 1200m the angle of depression to a building one the ground measures 28 degrees. Find the dist
Inessa05 [86]

Check the picture below.

now, we're assuming "to the building" means "to the ground", since we don't know the building's height, so we're also assuming the 1200m is above the building, as you see in the picture.

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

Find the average rate of change over the interval [-1,2] (from x = -1 to x = 2) for the graph below
Lyrx [107]

Hello!

Find the coordinate where x = -1:

At x = -1, y = 1, so the coordinate is (-1, 1).

Find the coordinate where x = 2:

At x = 2, y = -2, so the coordinate is (2, -2).

Find the rate of change between the points using the slope formula:

slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Plug in the coordinates above:

slope = \frac{-2-1}{2-(-1)}

Simplify:

slope = \frac{-3}{3} = -1

Thus, the rate of change between the points is -1.
