Answer:

27 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw this out. Since the altitude is 8000, we can make that the height, and it goes 16000 feet through the air, that can be the length. I have drawn this out, as shown in the image. Note that when drawing, because the airplane is going up and forward, that path should represent the hypotenuse. The angle of elevation is the angle connecting the length and the path, as shown by the angle x in the picture.

We know than tan(x) = opposite/adjacent, so tan(x) here = 8000/16000 = 1/2. Then, arctan(1/2) =x = 27 degrees

write the slope - intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (6, "-1)" and has a slope of "-1/3"
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

-1 = 1/3 * 6 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

So if it goes through point (6, -1) and has a slope of -1/3, all of this is parts of the slope intercept equal, Y = mx - B. You have the slope, which is m in the equation, y = -1/3 x - b. you already have a y and x which are the points passed, -1 = -1/3 * 6 - b, but this can't equal y, so you must have did it wrong, the only way this could equal y is if the slope wasn't negative, and in that case it would be -1 = 1/3 * 6 - 3. Because 1/3 * 6 is 2 and then subract 3 and you get -1.

(8w)^2 without parentheses
Nataly [62]

Answer:

I believe the answer would be 64w2.

Step-by-step explanation:

8 squared is 8 x 8, which equals 64, and then w squared is just w2, since we don't know what it is. Put them together, and the answer is 64w2.
