The height of the plane when it gets to the tower would be 600 yards, which is greater than the height of the tower. Hence, "the plane clears the tower with about 6 yards to spare."

Given the Parameters :

Initial distance traveled = 1500
Yards to control tower = 600
Height of control tower = 198 feets = (198×3) = 594 yards

If the rate of ascent of the airplane is proportional to the distance traveled, that is (1 yard length = 1 yard height gained).

Then after traveling 600 yards to the position of the control tower, then the height of the plane would be 600 yards

Difference in height :

Height of plane - Height of tower

(600 yards - 594 yards) = 6 yards

Therefore, the most appropriate Statement is that, "the plane clears the tower with about 6 yards to spare."

What does 45 - 4x equal

xxTIMURxx [149]

Let y = 0 to find the x-intercept(s).

0 = 45 − 4x

*Then subtract 45 from both sides*
-45 = -4x

*Next, DIVIDE both sides by -4*

-45
—— = x
-4

*NEXT, realize that TWO NEGATIVES MAKE A POSITIVE *

45. 4

Ilya [14]

Answer:

$M=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.4x &x\leq99 \\ 0.5x &x>100 \\ \end{matrix}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Function modeling

Real-life situations often require the help of mathematics to model numerically what happens when the variables involved can change. It could even be used to predict some expected outcomes from those models.

The problem states Janice receives $.40 per pound when he recycles less or equal than 99 pounds of aluminum. If x is the number of recycled pounds, then the amount of money he receives is

$M=0.4x$

We also know that if he recycles more than 100 pounds of aluminum, the pay increases to $0.5 per pound. In that case, the amount of money is

$M=0.5x$

This is a case where the function is defined differently depending on the conditions of the input variable x. It's called a piecewise function. The function can be written as

$M=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.4x &x\leq99 \\ 0.5x &x>100 \\ \end{matrix}\right.$

Note the function is not well constructed because there is a gap for x=100 where M is not defined. If we establish that for 100 pounds the payment is $0.5, then the second piece would include x=100
