Start off with initially calculating those numbers to find out how far above or below the airplane is from the altitude of 3000 feet. 

To clear things up, when an aircraft dives, the altitude of how high it is traveling decreases. When an aircraft climbs, the altitude of the aircraft increases. When it mentions that the aircraft starts to dive, you need to subtract. When it climbs, you need to add. 

As the pilot initially dives the plane 988 feet and rapidly climbs 748 feet, you'd need to form an equation which contributes those numbers. It can be illustrated as
3000 - 988 + 748, which is equal to 2760. 
The pilot then dives again 885 feet before making another climb of 1099 feet. Adding on to the previous answer we received, this can be represented as 2760 - 885 + 1099, which equals to 2974. 

You can conclude that the airplane is now travelling at an altitude of 2974 feet. To find out how far above or below the airplane is from an altitude of 3000 feet, simply subtract those numbers. 

3000 - 2974 = 26

The aircraft is travelling <u>26 feet</u> below an altitude of 3000 feet.

A marine biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of fishShe writes the following equation to show the length of
Doss [256]

Answer:

The given equation is:

f(m) = 3(1.09)^m

where 'f(m)' represents the length of the fish after 'm' months.

Domain is considered as a set of all values of input. In this question, the input is number of months. The input should starts at 0 which will show the initial height and then as the number 'm' increases, the value of f(m) also increases.

Thus, the domain can be defined as m ≥ 0

y-intercept occurs at m=0. It means the height of the fish after 0 months, which can also be considered as initial height.

Calculate the value of function for m=2 and m=8

For m=2, f(2) = 3.564

For m=8, f(8) = 5.978

Average rate of change = (5.978-3.564) / (8-2)

Average rate of change = 0.402

It means the fish grows about 0.402cm each month in between 2 to 8 months

In the box, complete the first 4 steps for graphing the quadratic function given. (Use ^ on the keyboard to indicate an exponent
Vaselesa [24]
Step 1: convert the equation into fhe vertex form

To do you can complete squares:

y = - [x^2 + 4x + 3]

y = - [ (x + 2)^2 - 4 + 3]

y = - [ (x + 2)^2 - 1] = - (x+2)^2 + 1

Then the vertex is (-2, 1)

Now you can drasw the vertex


Step 2: Find the roots (zeros)

y = - [ (x + 2)^2 - 1] = 0

(x + 2)^2 - 1 = 0

(x+2)^2 = 1

(x+2) = (+/-) √1

x + 2 = (+/-1)

x = - 2 +/- 1

x = -1 and x = -3

Now you draw the points (-1,0) , (-3,0)

Step 3: find the interception with the y-axis.

That is y value when x = 0

y = - (0)^2 - 4(0) - 3 = -3

Then draw the point (0, -3)

Step 4: given that the coefficent of x is negative (-1) the parabola is open downward.

So, with those four points: vertex (-2,1), (-1,0), (-3,0) and (0,-3), you can sketch the function.

During one month, a rental agency rented a total of 155 cars, trucks, and vans. Nine times as many cars were rented as vans, and
solong [7]

Answer:

The system of three equations is equal to

x+y+z=155

y=9x

z=3y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of cars rented during one month

y ----> the number of vans rented during one month

z ----> the number of trucks rented during one month

we know that

x+y+z=155 ----> equation A

y=9x ---> equation B

z=3y ----> equation C

A dolphin is 42 feet underwater and ascends at a constant rate for 14 seconds until it reaches the surface. Identify and interpr
Cloud [144]
Ok so, based on the graph lets say that x = seconds and  y = depth of dolphin. the interception in both points is when they are at 0 i.e when x is equals 0 and y equals 0. So At 0 seconds, the dolphin is 42 feet below the surface. So we say that x = 0, y = -42 and then the y intercepts = -42 so the point of interception is(0 (seconds),-42(depth of the dolphin)) When the clock says it's 14 seconds, the dolphin is even with the surface (0 below the surface this time). So we say that x = 14, y = 0. In this case The x intercept = 14 (14,0). But we need to calculate The slope with the formula= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = 42/14 = 3. Therefore, the formula for this line is y = 3x - 42.
