You would be 3ft above the sea level, if you are -6ft under the sea level and if you are standing 3ft “above” you would have to clime back up 9ft to get back to the positive’s which is “positive 3” so yes, your elevation will be opposite of the “plain” since you went to a -6 to a positive 3, with different numbers.

Oxana [17]
A graphing calculator shows the rocks are at the same height 1.5 seconds after they are released.

That height is 3.975 meters.

_____
f(x) = g(x)
-4.9x^2 +15 = -4.9x^2 +10x
15 = 10x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 4.9x^2
1.5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10
f(1.5) = -4.9*2.25 +15 = 3.975

How much water do you add  to make 12% sugar syrup using 5g sugar?
Alchen [17]

so the syrup is just water and sugar, we know that the sugar percent is just 12%, and that happens to be 5grams.

now 100% - 12% is 88%, so the 88% leftover will just be water.

if 12% is 5g, how much is 88%?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 5&12\\ x&88 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{5}{x}=\cfrac{12}{88}\implies \cfrac{5}{x}=\cfrac{3}{22}\implies 110=3x \\\\\\ \cfrac{110}{3}=x\implies 36\frac{2}{3}=x

Mike earns $6.50 per hour plus 4% of his sales enter an equation for mikes total earnings, e, when he works x hours and has a to
Cerrena [4.2K]
First identify what each variable means. since X is the amount of hours he works, and he makes $6.50 an hour, you know you need to multiply those two numbers together creating the 6.50x. You also know Y is his total sales, and he earns 4% of Y. To find 4% of Y you need to turn the percent into a decimal, and to do this you move the decimal two spaces to the left. Since 4 is a whole number, the decimal is after the 4 so you get .04 as your decimal. Then youd multiply .04 by Y getting .04y. Lastly you add 6.50x + .04y to get E, mikes total earnings. So your final equation is

6.50x + .04y = e

Hope this all makes sense

The inequality describes the range of monthly average temperatures T in degrees Fahrenheit at a certain location. Find an equiva
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Now if the high and low monthly average temperatures satisfy the inequality, then the , monthly averages are always within 22 degrees of 43°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality describes the range of monthly average temperatures T in degrees Fahrenheit at a certain location.

The inequality expression is given as:

|T-43|\leq 22

now this expression could also be expressed as:

-22\leq T-43\leq22\\\\-22+43 \leq T \leq 22+43\\\\21\leq T\leq 65

Now if the high and low monthly average temperatures satisfy the inequality, then the , monthly averages are always within 22 degrees of 43°F.

( As the difference is 22 degrees to the left and right)
