Answer:

20 kilometres

Step-by-step explanation:

We will imagine a triangle. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between you and the plane. 16 kilometres is the aerial space between you two, in other words its the base of the triangle. 12 km is the length of the third leg of the triangle. We will apply the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse and the distance between you and the plane.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 16^2 = c^2

144 + 256 = c^2

400 = c^2

square root of 400 is c which equals 20 km.

Which functions are symmetric with respect to the origin?
Damm [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

y = arcsinx and y = arctanx

Step-by-step explanation:

The given options are;

1) y = arcsinx and y = arccosx

Here, we have at the origin, where x = 0,  arccosx ≈ 1.57 while arcsinx = 0

Therefore arccosx does not intersect arcsinx at the origin for it to be symmetrical to arcsinx or the origin

2)  y = arccosxy and y = arctanx

Here arctanx = 0 when x = 0 and arcos x = 1.57 when x = 0 therefore, they are not symmetrical

3) y = arctanx and y = arccotx

Similarly, At x = 0, arccotx = 1.57 therefore, they are not symmetrical

4) y = arcsinx and y = arctanx

Both functions arcsinx and arctanx pass through the origin and their shapes are similar but inverted as they go from negative to positive.

Use the quadratic formula to find the roots of y = x2 + 5x + 6 :
Katena32 [7]

Answer: x = -2 and x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 + 5x + 6 *FACTOR*

(x+2) (x+3) = 0

x + 2 = 0

  -2     -2

x = -2

x + 3 = 0

    -3   -3

x = -3
