It is 6 inches if you have 8 3/4 segments lined up togehter
Answer: OPTION C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Observe the triangle ABC attached.
Notice that the angle of depression is represented with
.
Knowing that the top of a lighthouse is 260 feet above water and the ship is 270 feet offshore, you can find the value of
by using arctangent:

In this case you can identify that:

Therefore, substuting values into
, you get that the angle of depression is:

Slope (m) =0
θ =180°
distance (d) =15
ΔX =15
ΔY =0
Answer:
-600
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change of a function f(x) in a certain interval
is the ratio between the change of the function and the change in the value of x:

The rate of change of a function tells how much the value of the function is changing per change in unit of x: therefore, for a linear function it corresponds to the slope of the line.
In this problem, the function f(x) is equal to the value of the business machine in dollars, while the variable x represents the number of years.
Here we are told that the machine was purchased for

while its value decreases by $600 each year, so

This means that the linear function that represents the value of the machine after x years is:

Therefore, the rate of change of the function is -600.
