Answer:
Arnold descended a distance of 5,250 ft after his parachute opened
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we want to know the distance Arnold descended after his parachute opened.
Mathematically, we know that distance = speed * time
In this case;
The speed is the rate at which he descended = 70 ft per second
Now the time is 1 minute and 15 seconds; since 1 minute is 60 seconds, then 1 minute and 15 seconds is 60 + 15 = 75 seconds
So what we are saying is he descended at a rate of 70 ft per second for 75 seconds
Thus, his distance of descent will be 70 ft per second * 75 seconds = 5,250 ft
Answer:
11.2 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
by multiplying 16 by 0.965 (as it is a 4.5% decrease per year) and then multiplying the answer by 0.965 and so on until done a total of 10 times gets you the answer 11.2 gallons. there is a quicker way to do it but I cannot remember sorry
If we take the equation and multiply out the left side, we get....
+ 2xk +
=
+ x +
The x^2 and k^2 cancel out on both sides leaving us with this...
2kx = x
If we divide both sides by 2x to isolate k,
k ends up = 1/2
