A plane that carries mail makes a round trip each day from Chicago to New York. It makes 2 intermediate stops on the way to New

York and 1 intermediate stop on the way back to Chicago. Suppose you make a graph of the altitude of the plane for one day, with time on the horizontal axis and altitude on the vertical axis. How many times will the graph touch the horizontal axis?
A. 3
B. 6
C. 5
D. 9

Answer:

Option: C

Step-by-step explanation:

As going from Chicago to New York the plane makes two intermediate stops.

This means that the graph will touch the Horizontal axis

at initial point when the flight is at Chicago

Next at the first intermediate stop

then at the next intermediate stop

finally after reaching New York

After going back from New York to Chicago

This means that the graph will touch the horizontal axis

first initially at New York
Then at the intermediate stop
Finally on reaching Chicago

but the Point on the Horizontal axis at New York and Chicago is counted twice

Hence, the total times the graph will touch the horizontal axis is 5.

Hence, option: C is correct.

Without using technology, describe the end behavior of f(x) = −3x4 + 7x2 − 12x + 13.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

11 over 13

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you deal with multiplication;

x = -12 + 14 - 12x + 13

second, deal with addition;

x = -2 - 12x + 13

third, take -12 to the other side then the negative changes to positive;

12x + x = -2 + 13

fourth, add them then simplify;

13x = 11

ans is 11 over 13

Thomas graphed the line that represents the equation y=34x.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The ordered pairs represent points on the line are

(4, 3) ⇒ C

(2, $\frac{3}{2}$ ) ⇒ D

(-8, -6) ⇒ E

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ordered pairs represent points on the line, substitute x by the x-coordinate of each point, if the value of y equals the y-coordinate of the point, then the point is on the line.

∵ The equation is y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x

∵ The ordered pair is (8, $\frac{1}{6}$ )

→ Substitute x by 8

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (8)

∴ y = 6

∵ The value of y does not equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (8, $\frac{1}{6}$ ) does not represent a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is ( $\frac{-2}{3}$ , $\frac{1}{2}$ )

→ Substitute x by $\frac{-2}{3}$

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ ( $\frac{-2}{3}$ )

∴ y = $\frac{-1}{2}$

∵ The value of y does not equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair ( $\frac{-2}{3}$ , $\frac{1}{2}$ ) does not represent a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is (4, 3 )

→ Substitute x by 4

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (4)

∴ y = 3

∵ The value of y equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (4, 3) represents a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is (2, $\frac{3}{2}$ )

→ Substitute x by 2

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (2)

∴ y = $\frac{3}{2}$

∵ The value of y equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (2, $\frac{3}{2}$ ) represents a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is (-8, -6 )

→ Substitute x by -8

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (-8)

∴ y = -6

∵ The value of y equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (-8, -6) represents a point on the line

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

strawberry yogurt makes up less than 1/3 of their sales

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first graph, the strawberry yogurt is a little larger than 1/4. Second, the yogurt increases instead of decreases n the first six months. And third, the store actually sold a little less than 3,000 yogurts in November than in August.
