We have that the initial value of the function is the value at x=0; this is equal to 9. It shows the initial distance from the hole, when no time has passed (x=0). This is so because y has the units of distance. THe slope of the line is the quantity that shows the rate of change, namely how much a change in x is converted to a change in y. This is so because the slope has the units of y/x, namely distance over time (so it shows speed). Correct is b.
$848-d is the answer.
Since there is not set amount for the expenses, the only answer I can give is this equation.
The answer should be 32.25
There's a simple formula for the area of an ellipse: pi*a*b, where a and b are , half the lengths of the long axis and the short axis respectively.
Here, A = pi*(12 ft)(4 ft) = 48 pi ft^2, or about 150.8 ft^2.
