Searches related to Elon sat on the dock with his fishing rod, when suddenly he felt the rod being pulled down! He reeled in his
catch, causing it to ascend at a constant rate of 0.10, point, 1 meters per second. When it reached the water's surface after 35 seconds, Elon found it was only an old shoe. Graph the shoe's altitude (in meters relative to the water's surface) as a function of time (in seconds).
1 answer:
The graph is attached.
We first graph the point where his catch reached the surface, (35, 0). Since it travels upward at a constant rate, the graph will be linear. We also need to know where it starts (what depth it is at when he begins reeling it in). We can use the formula d=rt as a template for our function. d would be distance (in our case, depth), r is the rate (speed) and t is the amount of time.
To find how far the catch had to travel to reach the surface, we set up our equation as:
d = 0.1(35)
This will tell us how much distance it traveled in 35 seconds. 0.1(35)=3.5, so the catch started 3.5m under water. It then travels up at 0.1 m per second.

Answer:
∠B ≅ ∠Y △ABC ~ △ZYX by the SAS similarity theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. units
units
units
units, then
2. and
are right angles - given
3. two right angles are always congruent.
4. by SAS similarity theorem.
SAS Similarity Theorem states that if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.
We have to write an equation that uses this info so we can find the cost to ship that package. However, the package weight is given to us in grams and we need it in ounces. So first thing we are going to do is convert that 224 g to ounces. Use the fact that 1 g = .035274 ounces to convert. . Do the multiplication and cancel out the label of grams and we have 7.901376 ounces. Ok. We know that it costs .57 to mail the package for the first ounce. We have almost 8 ounces. So no matter what, we are paying .57. For each additional ounce we are paying .32. The number of .32's we have to spend depends upon how much the package goes over the first ounce. For the first ounce we pay .57, then for the remaining 6.901376 ounces we pay .32 per ounce. Our equation looks like this: C(x) = .32(6.901376) + .57 and we need to solve for the cost, C(x). Doing the multiplication we find that it would cost $2.78 to ship that package.
