Answer: The initial elevation of the plane was 8.75 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that the initial elevation of the plane is E.

Then the plane descends 3.5 miles.

Then the new elevation of the plane will be:

E - 3.5 miles.

Now, we know that the new elevation of the plane is 5.25 miles, then:

E - 3.5 miles = 5.25 miles.

Now we need to solve this for E.

To solve this, we can add the same number to both sides of the equation, so we can add 3.5 miles to both sides to get:

(E - 3.5 miles) + 3.5 miles = 5.25 miles + 3.5 miles

E + (3.5 miles - 3.5 miles) = 5.25 miles + 3.5 miles

E = 8.75 miles.

The initial elevation of the plane was 8.75 miles.

Problem 1

For functions like f(x), the input is x and the output is f(x).

If x = 7, then f(7) = 12 has the input 7 and output 12.

Therefore the ordered pair is (7, 12) which is the answer

=====================================================

Problem 2

Replace every x with 3 and simplify

f(x) = 3*x

f(3) = 3*3

f(3) = 9

The input x = 3 leads to the output y = 9. Recall that y = f(x).

So (3,9) is the answer here.

find the area of triangle qpm. round the answer to the nearest tenth. a. 5.2 square units b. 6.3 square units c. 6.5 square unit
viva [34]
Pls. see attachment. 

We need to solve for the angles of the smaller triangle in order to solve for the angle of the larger triangle which would help us solve the missing measurement of a side.

Given:

51 degrees.

Cut the triangle into two equal sides and it forms a right triangle. All interior angles of a triangle sums up to 180 degrees.

180 – 51 – 90 = 39 degrees

39 degrees * 2 = 78 degrees.

Angle Q is 78 degrees.

In the bigger triangle, 4.3 is the hypotenuse. We need to solve for the measurement of the long leg which is the opposite of the 78 degree angle.

We will use the formula:

Sine theta = opposite / hypotenuse

Sin(78 deg) = opposite / 4.3

Sin(78 deg) * 4.3 = opposite

4.21 = opposite. This is also the height of the triangle.

 

Area of a triangle = ½ * base * height

A = ½ * 3units * 4.21units

A = 6.315 square units.

In a simple regression analysis (where y is a dependent and x an independent variable), if the slope is positive, then it must b
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

c. there is a positive correlation in-between x and y

Step-by-step explanation:

A regression line is a line that suggests that all the points in a scatter diagram lie on or near one particular line. In a simple regression analysis in which y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable. If the slope is positive, the bivariate data is also said to have a positive correlation. The positive correlation in-between two variables x and y implies that in general, an increase in x goes hand in hand with an increase in y.
