Answer:

Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Horizontal distance (base distance) = 17 feet

Angle of elevation = 24°

Find:

Length of the ramp

Computation:

Cosθ = Length of base / Length of hypotenuse

Cos 24 = Horizontal distance (base distance) / Length of the ramp

Cos 24 = 17 / Length of the ramp

0.9135 = 17 / Length of the ramp

Length of the ramp = 17 / 0.9135

Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)

What is the rate of change of the water level , in feet per hour
miskamm [114]
A; rate of change is the same as slope, so, using the slope formula, m= \frac{y_{2} - y\1_{1}   }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }, where m is the slope and x_{1}, x_{2}, y_{1}, and y_{2} are the x and y values.

Plug in 2 points for x and y, water level being the y and time being the x since we're looking for the answer in ft/hr-- you can choose any two, but from the same row.

m= \frac{ 30-50}{4-0}
m= \frac{-20}{4}
m= \frac{-5}{1}
m= -5 ft/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Axis of symmetry for quadratic ax² + bx² + c:

x = -b/2a.

Therefore for y = x² - 4x + 2,

-b/2a = -(-4)/2(1) = 2

The axis of symmetry is x = 2.
