Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When car

rying gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs pounds. When carrying gallons of fuel, it weighs pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying gallons of fuel?

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When carrying 15 gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs 2187 pounds. When carrying 35 gallons of fuel, it weighs 2303 pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying 50 gallons of fuel?

----

You have two points relating fuel and weight.

(15,2187) and (35,2303)

------------

slope = (2303-2187)/(35-15) = 5.8

----

intercept = ?

2187 = 5.8*15 + b

b = 2100

-------

Equation:

f(x) = 5.8x + 2100

---

f(50) = 2390 lbs.

Does the absolute value graph below flips or not flips? F(x)=2|x-9|+3
True [87]

Answer:

The absolute value graph below does not flip.

Step-by-step explanation:

New graphs are made when transformed from their parents graphs. The parent graph for an absolute value graph is f(x) = |x|.

The equation used for a new graph transformed from the parent graph is in the form f(x) = a |k(x - d)| + c.

"a" shows vertical stretch (a>1) or vertical compression (0<a<1), and <u>flip across the x-axis if "a" is negative</u>.

"k" shows horizontal stretch (0<k<1) or horizontal compression (k>1), and <u>flip across the y-axis if "k" is negative</u>.

"d" shows horizontal shifts left (positive number) or right (negative number).

"c" shows vertical shifts up (positive) or down (negative).

The function f(x)=2|x-9|+3 has these transformations from the parent graph:

a = 2; Vertical stretch by a factor of 2

k = 1; No change

d = 9; Horizontal shift right 9 units

c = 3; Vertical shift up 3 units

Since neither "a" nor "k" was negative, there were no flips, <u>also known as reflections</u>.

How do you find the height of a triangle?
Dmitrij [34]
Answers:  height, "h", of a triangle:    <span> h = 2A /  (b₁ + b₂) .
___________________________________________________ </span>
Explanation:
__________________________________________________
The area of a triangle, "A", is equal to (1/2) * (b₁ + b₂) * h ; 
                                    or:  A = (1/2) * (b₁ + b₂) * h
                                    or: write as:  A =  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 ;
          ___________________________________________
                                     in which:  A = area of the triangle; 
                                                       b₁ = length of one of the bases
                                                                 of the triangle ("base 1");
                                                       b₂ = length of the other base
                                                                 of the triangle ("base 2");
                                                       h = height of the triangle;
____________________________________________________
To find the height of the triangle, we rearrange the formula to solve for "h" (height); assuming that all the units are the same (e.g. feet, centimeters); if no "units" are given, then the assumption is that the units are all the same.
We can use the term "units" if desired, in such cases; in which the area, "A" is measured in "square units"; or "units²",
_________________________________
So, given our formula for the "Area, "A"; of a triangle:
_________________________________________________
 A =  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 ; we solve for "h" in terms of the other values; by isolating "h" (height) on one side of the equation.
     If we knew the other values; we plug in the those other values.
______________________________________________
  Given:   A =  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 ;

Multiply EACH side of the equation by "2" ;
_________________________________________
            2*A = {  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 } * 2 ;
_________________________________________
to get:
_________________________________________
           2A = (b₁ + b₂) * h ;
_____________________________________________________
           Now, divide EACH side of the equation by:  "(b₁ + b₂)" ;  to isolate "h"
on one side of the equation; and solve for "h" (height) in terms of the other values;
_____________________________________
            2A /  (b₁ + b₂) = [ (b₁ + b₂) * h ] / (b₁ + b₂);
______________________________________
to get:
_______________________________________________
           2A /  (b₁ + b₂)  =  h ;  ↔<span>  h = 2A /  (b₁ + b₂)  .

In a kite ABCD, AB=AD, BC=CD; CAD=40° and
notka56 [123]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached below,

We know that by the SSS property, the two triangles are congruent

$$Since,$$\begin{aligned}&A D=A B(\text {Given}) \\&C D=B C(\text {Given}) \\&A C=A C \text { (Common side})\end{aligned}$$Hence,$$\triangle A B C \cong \triangle A C D$$By the properties of congruence,$$\angle O A D=\angle O A B=40^{\circ}$$$$\angle B=\angle D$$

Using the property of congruence to find the measure of all these angles:

Therefore, the measure of the angles are:

&a) \ B\widehat{ A} C=40^{\circ} \\ b) \ &B\widehat{C}A=180^{\circ}-\left(90^{\circ}+60^{\circ}\right)=30^{\circ} \\c) \ &A \widehat{D} C=60^{\circ}+50^{\circ}=110^{\circ}
