Slippery Slope
Two professional downhill skiers are going to begin a race. The skiers agree that Skier 1 is
slightly faster than Skier 2 so they decide that Skier 2 will get a 5 second head start to make the
race more competitive. Skier 1 skies at an average speed of 110 feet per second and Skier 2
skies at an average speed of 100 feet per second.
Who will win the race if the course is 5000 feet long?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It would be a tie

Step-by-step explanation:

Skeir 1 in 5000 feet would go 45 seconds.

Skier 2 in 5000 feet would go 50 seconds

If skier 1 lets skeir 2 have a head start, then it means that that it would be 50-5, which would be 45.

Car rental company A charges $15 to rent a car plus $2.30 per hour. Car rental company b charges $22 to rent a car plus $1.90 per hour. When would the cost of renting a car from company A be the same as renting a car from company B?

Answers

Answer: The cost of renting a car from Company A be the same as renting a car from company B in 17.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2.30x +15

y=1.90x +22

0.4x +7 Divide 0.4 from both sides

x=17.5

y=2.30(17.5)+15

y=40.25+15

y=40.25-15

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line that goes trough the points (x1=9, y1=1) and (x2=17, y2=2)

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (2-1) / (17-9) = 1/8

What is the slope of this line?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of the line is expressed as the ratio

y coordinate change / x coordinate change

when going from one point to the other.

the trick in such a situation is to find good points on the chart that are crossed by the line. and by "good" I mean points with round integer coordinates.

I see 2 such points :

(-2, 3) and (0, -3)

x changes by +2 (from -2 to 0)

y changes by -6 (from 3 to -3)

the slope is -6/+2 = -6/2 = -3

Nachelle wants to use a sheet of fiberboard 30 inches long to create a skateboard
ramp with a 19° angle of elevation from the ground. How high will the ramp rise from
the ground at its highest end? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch if
necessary.

Answers

The height of the board is an illustration of Pythagoras theorem

The ramp will rise 10.3 inches from the ground

The angle of elevation is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{\theta = 19^o}[/tex]

The length of the board is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{l = 30}[/tex]

The height h is calculated using the following tangent ratio

[tex]\mathbf{tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{tan(19) = \frac{h}{l}}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{tan(19) = \frac{h}{30}}[/tex]

Make h the subject

[tex]\mathbf{h = 30 \times tan(19)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = 10.3}[/tex]

Hence, the ramp will rise 10.3 inches from the ground

What is the meaning of the statement ((30) =76?

Answers

Answer:

A) 30 minutes after the air conditioner started to cool the house, the temperature inside the house has dropped to 76°F

B) [tex]f(x)=-0.4x+88[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

In this problem, f(x) represents temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, of Sam’s house x minutes after the air conditioner started to cool the house.

So we have:

x = minutes after the air conditioner started to cool the house

f(x) = temperature

Here we want to find what is the meaning of

[tex]f(30)=76[/tex]

Which implies that:

[tex]x=30[/tex], which means that 30 minutes have passed after the conditioner has started to cool the house

[tex]f(x)=76[/tex], which means that the temperature of the room at that time is 76°F

So, the interpretation of f(30) =76 is that:

"30 minutes after the air conditioner started to cool the house, the temperature inside the house has dropped to 76°F"

B)

Here we want to write explicitly a function that tells us how the temperature inside the house varies as a function of x, the number of minutes passed after the air conditioner has turned on.

We know the following information:

- At time x = 0, the temperature inside the house is 88°F

- At time x = 30 min, the temperature inside the house is 76°F

We can assume that the temperature inside the house changes linearly with time; so, we can describe the temperature function with the equation of a line:

[tex]f(x)=mx+q[/tex]

where

[tex]q[/tex] is the value of the temperature at x = 0, so q = 88

m is the rate of change of the temperature

The rate of change can be found by calculating the rate of change of the temperature with respect to the change in time; so we find:

[tex]m=\frac{76-88}{30-0} =-0.4[/tex]

which means that the temperature decreases by 0.4°F every minute. So, the function can be written as

[tex]f(x)=-0.4x+88[/tex]

Which equations represent circles that have a diameter of 12 units and a center that lies on the y-axis? Select two options.

x2 + (y – 5)2 = 6
(x – 4)² + y² = 36
(x + 6)² + y² = 144
x2 + (y + 8)2 = 36

Answers

Answer:

x2 + (y + 8)2 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

:) took the test

The equations which represent circles that have a diameter of 12 units and a center that lies on the y-axis are x² + (y – 3)² = 36 and x² + (y + 8)² = 36.

What is the Standard form of a Circle?

Standard form of a circle is given by the equation,

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where, (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.

Given that,

A circle has a diameter of 12 units.

So radius = 12 / 2 = 6 units

Center of the circle lies on the Y axis.

So the x coordinate of the center of the circle will be 0.

So, in (h, k), h = 0

So the equation will be of the form,

(x - 0)² + (y - k)² = 6²

x² + (y - k)² = 36

Hence the options are x² + (y – 3)² = 36 and x² + (y + 8)² = 36.
