First let's reduce the feet to miles

there are 5280 feet in a mile therefore

26400 feet=5 miles

31680 feet=6 miles

Jet A(the first jet) descends 5 miles in 96 miles

Jet B(the second jet) descends 6 miles in 120 miles

We can compare these as fractions to see which is steeper. This can be viewed as slope and the origin (0,0) is the airport.

slope: 6/120=?=5/96

1/20=?=5/96

Now we know that 5/100 =1/20 so 5/96 must be bigger than 5/100 because you are dividing by a smaller number.

so 1/20<5/96

So Jet B is descending steeper than Jet A.

As for linear model, I don't exactly know what your teacher means but I think I actually used the linear model when I'm thinking of steepness as slope in the coordinate plane, I will include a picture.

In this extremely zoomed out graph, you can see the blue line is just slighly higher than the red line(slope as in explanation is way easier to tell) this could be seen as the linear model) :) Hope it helped!

.In a group of 40 people, 15 people are wearing

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

It should be 5:10 or 5 people not wearing sneakers and 10 not wearing a blue shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

Well it quite simple 1st you have the total which is 40

next you look at the rest, 15 people wearing sneakers plus the 5 waering sneakers and blue shirt. now you have 15.

next you have 10 people wearing but shirts. if you add the numbers you have now you get this: 15+10=25.

Now that you have 25 you can just add numbers to get 25(in that case 10 and 5). whats how you get 5:10

Where does the normal line to the parabola y = x − x2 at the point (1, 0) intersect the parabola a second time?

Ksivusya [100]

Find the line that is normal to the parabola at the given point
remember that normal means perpendicular
perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
we can use point slope form to write the equation of the line since we are given the point (1,0)

we just need the slope

take derivitive
y'=1-2x
at x=1
y'=1-2(1)
y'=1-2
y'=-1

the slope is -1
the perpendicular of that slope is what number we can multiply to get -1
-1 times what=-1?
what=1
duh
so
point (1,0) and slope 1
y-0=1(x-1)
y=x-1 is da equation

solve for where y=x-1 and y=x-x² intersect

set equatl to each other since equal y
x-1=x-x²
x²-1=0
factor difference of 2 perfect squares
(x-1)(x+1)=0
set to zero

x-1=0
x=1
we got this point already

x+1=0
x=-1
sub back
y=-1-(-1)²
y=-1-(1)
y=-1-1
y=-2

it intersects at (-1,-2)

The answer is C, but I don't understand why- can anyone tell me?

finlep [7]

Answer:

It's C because we are adding a number on the x but here we skip 5 so it's 6, and on y we add 4 up but since we skipped 5 we add 8 and we get 24. 6, 24. You may say "but SpiritBear, 17 plus eight is 25" and that is true, but if you notice the lowest dot actually starts on 5, not 4 making C right.

Hope this helped and wasn't too confusing

arlik [135]

$P(t)=1.39.(1.005)^t \ \ \ \ where t \ is \ time \ in \ months\\
\\
P(1)=1.39.(1.005)^1\\
\\
P(1)=1.39*1.005\\
