A glider flies 13 miles north from the airport and then 24 miles diagonally southeast. Approximately how far west does the glide

r have to fly to return to the airport?
Mathematics

NISA [10]3 years ago

Answer:

20.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be described by the three sides of a right angled triangle. Let the distance of the glider to the airport be represented by x, applying the Pythagoras theorem:

/hyp/^{2} = /adj1/^{2} + /adj2/^{2}

/24/^{2} = /x/^{2} + /13/^{2}

576 = x^{2} + 169

x^{2} = 576 - 169

   = 407

x = \sqrt{407}

  = 20.1742

x = 20.2 miles

The glider has to fly 20.2 miles to return to the airport.

Part A: Marguerite rented a truck at $125 for 2 days. If she rents the same truck for 5 days, she has to pay a total rent of $27
SOVA2 [1]
Part A: To get an equation into standard form to represent the total amount  rented (y) that Marguerite has to pay for renting the truck for x amount of days, we use the formula for the equation of a straight line.

Remember that the equation of a straight line passing through points is ( x_{1} , y_{1} ) and the points ( x_{2} , y_{2} ) is given by
y - y_{1} / x - x_{1} = y - y_{2} / x - x_{2}

Knowing that Marguerite rented a truck at $125 for 2 days, we know if she rents the exact same truck for 5 days, she has to pay a total of $275 for the rent.
<span>
This means that the line modeling this situation crosses points at (2, 125) and (5, 275).
</span>
The equation modeling <span>the total rent (y) that Marguerite has to pay for renting the truck for x days is given by
</span><span>
y - 125 / x - 2 = 275 - 125 / 5 - 2 = 150 / 3 = 50
</span>
But if you are writing the equation in standard form it would be <span>
</span><span>
50x - y = -25


Part B:
When writing the function using function notation it means you are making y the subject of the formula and then replacing the y with f(x).
</span>
If you remember that from part A, we have that the equation for the total rent which is y that Marguerite has to pay for renting the truck for x amount of days is given by
y = 50x + 25.<span>
</span><span>
Writing the equation using the function notation would give us this
f(x) = 50x + 25


Part C:
To graph the function, we name the x-axis the number of days and name the y-axis total rent. The x-axis is numbered using the intervals of 1 while the y-axis is numbered using the intervals of 50.
The points of </span>(2,125) and of (5,275) are marked on the coordinate axis and a straight line is drawn to pass through these two points.
