A rock is dropped from the top of a 2000-foot building. After 1 second, the rock is traveling 32 feet per second. After 2 second

s, the rock
is traveling 64 feet per second. Let y be the rate of descent and be the number of seconds since the rock was dropped.
a. Write a linear equation that relates time x to rate y. (Hint: Use the ordered pairs (1,32) and (2,64).]
b. Use this equation to determine the rate of travel of the rock 15 seconds after it was droppedwas dropped.
Thank

Using the pairs (1,32) and (2,64) the rate of speed is (64-32 / 2-1 = 32 feet per second.

To find the rate of decent you would multiply the rate by time:

The equation is y = 32x

B. Replace x with 15 and solve for y:

Y = 32(15)

Y = 480

The rate of speed is 480 feet per second.

Question 5^ Need help ... ASAP ... your help is really appreciated ...
goblinko [34]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we had a question similar to this before. Again, let's figure out the vertical and horizontal distances figured out. The distance from C at x=8 to D at x=-5 is 13 units while the distance from C at y=-2 to D at y=9 is 11 units. (8+5=13 and 2+9=11, even though some numbers are negative, we're looking at their value in those calculations)

Next, we have to divide each distance by 4 so we can apply it to the ratio. 13/4=\frac{13}{4} and 11/4=\frac{11}{4}. Next, we need to read the question carefully. It's asking us to place the point in the ratio <em>3</em> to <em>1</em> from <em>C</em> to <em>D</em>. The point has to be closer to endpoint D because of this. Let's take each of our fractions, multiply them by 3, then add them towards the direction of endpoint D to get our answer (sorry if that sounds confusing):

\frac{13}{4}*3 = \frac{39}{4}\\ 8-\frac{39}{4} =  \frac{-7}{4}\\\frac{11}{4}*3 = \frac{33}{4}  \\-2+\frac{33}{4} = \frac{25}{4}

Therefore, our point that partitions CD into a 3:1 ratio is (\frac{-7}{4}, \frac{25}{4}).

I'm not sure if there was more to #5 judging by how part B was cut off. From what I can understand of part B, however, I believe that Beatriz started from endpoint D and moved towards C, the wrong direction. She found the coordinates for a 1:3 ratio point.

Also, for #6, since a square is a 2-dimensional object, the answer needs to be written showing that. The answer for #6 is 9 units^2.

If if the branding division were to experience the same percentage increase from year 2 to year 3 as they did from year 1 to yea
Sedaia [141]
Since the basis is from year 1 to year 2, calculate first for the difference of their percentages. That would be:

Difference = year 2 - year 1
Difference = 2.32% - 1.1% = 1.22%

We apply this same value of percentage increase from year 2 to year. Thus, the percentage for year 3 is:

% Year 3 = % Year 2 + percentage increase
% Year 3 = 2.32% + 1.22%
% Year 3 = 3.54%

The graph of which function has an axis of symmetry at x=3?​
iragen [17]

Answer:

A graph that has an axis of symmetry at x = 3 would be x^2 -6x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find a graph that has an axis of symmetry at 3, use the equation for the axis of symmetry of a quadratic.

x = -b/2a

In this equation, a is the coefficient of x^2 and b is the coefficient of x. So, if we use 3 as x and we choose a random number to be a (1), we can solve for the b.

3 = -b/2(1)

3 = -b/2

6 = -b

b = -6

Now that we have this, we can put those two numbers as coefficients. The constant at the end can be anything.
