In order to make a safe parachute landing from a mountain top, you must be at least 9,000 feet in the air. At the top of Mount M

ontgomery, the angle of depression is 19 degrees looking diagonally down at a landing zone that is 16000 feet away from the middle of the mountain. Determine if it is safe to use a parachute from the top of this mountain.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

tan19=h/16000

h=16000tan19

h=5509.24ft

So it is less than 9000ft and is unsafe to use the parachute.

Chris shoots an arrow up into the air. The height (in feet) of the arrow is given by the function h(t) = - 16t2 + 64t + 112 wher

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

After 2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is find an equation of velocity:

h(t)=-16t2+64t+112. The velocity function is derivated from position function, so we should do that.

v(t)= h´(t)= -16*2*t+64 ⇒ v(t)= -32t+64.

Now we know the arrow reach the maximun height when this velocity is equal to zero when t>0.

0=-32t+64 ⇒ 32t=64, split each member for 32 ⇒ $\frac{32t}{32}$ = $\frac{64}{32}$

t=2. That means after 2 sec. the arrow reach the maximum height

Please help I am stuck on this

Answer: B. y = 1/2x - 1

Explanation:
I know someone else already answered, but I wanted to explain why the answer is B.

Consider an equation of a line in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Since the line intersects the y-axis at -1, that’s the y intercept, or b. We know the slope of the line is positive because it slopes upward from left to right. From each whole number solution point, the line goes up one and two to the right. Slope, represented by m, is “rise” over “run”, or the change in y over the change in x. This makes the slope 1/2.

I hope this helps.

F(x) = x + 4 and g(x) = 2x + 3, evaluate each expression.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

$15.~f(g(2))=\Large\boxed{11}\\$

$16.~g(f(2.5))=\Large\boxed{16}$

$17.~g(f(-5))=\Large\boxed{1}$

$18.~f(g(-5))=\Large\boxed{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given information</h3>

$f(x)=x+4$

$g(x)=2x+3$

<h3>Question 15. f(g(2))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$g(2)=2(2)+3$

$g(2)=4+3$

$g(2)=7$

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$f(g(2))=f(7)$

$f(7)=(7)+4$

$f(7)=\Large\boxed{11}$

<h3>Question 16. g(f(2.5))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$f(2.5)=(2.5)+4$

$f(2.5)=6.5$

<u />

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$g(f(2.5))=g(6.5)$

$g(6.5)=2(6.5)+3$

$g(6.5)=13+3$

$g(6.5)=\Large\boxed{16}$

<h3>Question 17. g(f(-5))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$f(-5)=(-5)+4$

$f(-5)=-1$

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$g(f(-5))=g(-1)$

$g(-1)=2(-1)+3$

$g(-1)=-2+3$

$g(-1)=\Large\boxed{1}$

<h3>Question 18. f(g(-5))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$g(-5)=2(-5)+3$

$g(-5)=-10+3$

$g(-5)=-7$

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$f(g(-5))=f(-7)$

$f(-7)=(-7)+4$

$f(-7)=\Large\boxed{-3}$

Hope this helps!! :)
