They are essentially asking us to solve:
Solving this equation for x tells us that it will take around 80.1 years for the materials in the vault to reduce to 357 pounds.
Pleaseeeee answer this questionnnn it would mean alot please show work and explain thanks☺
1 answer:
Answer:
Shown in the picture
Step-by-step explanation:
A:
Set the value of x to "5" and "30" to find the corresponding values of y (i.e. the altitudes of the plane at 5 or 30 minutes after beginning descent).
B:
Use the the same method to determine the set of coordinates (/ordered pairs) at each of the values for x given in part B of the question.
C:
The initial value is simply the starting value of y, or in other words, the altitude at which the plane begins to descend in this context;
So it will be 0 mins after the beginning of descent of the plane, i.e. when x = 0, therefore the answer is (0, 28000) as an ordered pair or simply 28000 ft.
D:
Rate of change is a fancy or more technical way of referring to the gradient of a function;
In this case of the context of a plane descending, it refers to the change in altitude over time;
This can be calculated using any two ordered pairs (or coordinates as I call them) using the formula of the difference in the y values divided by the difference in the x values.
