While on a trip, you notice that the video screen on the airplane, in addition to showing movies and news, records your altitude

(in kilometers) above the ground. As the plane starts its descent (at time x = 0), you record the following data: Time, x (min.) Altitude, y (km) 0 12 2 10 4 8 6 6 8 4 10 2 If you were to graph this information, the resulting line would represent a linear function. Using this information from the table and the information on your graph, by how much does the altitude of the plane change for each three-minute change in time during the descent.

Answer:

It descends 3 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is the slope. The formula for slope is

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using the first two points, (0, 12) and (2, 10), we have

m = (10-12)/(2-0) = -2/2 = -1

This means the plane descends 1 km per minute.  This means in 3 minutes' time, the plane descends 3 km.

105,159 rounded to the nearest ten thousand
ivolga24 [154]

For this case we have the following number:

105,159

By definition we have:

thousand place: five-digit number greater than zero.

On the other hand we have as a rule:

When the previous number is greater than or equal to five, then the next number increases by one.

So we have to round off to the nearest ten thousand:

105,159 = 110,000

Answer:

105,159 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is:

105,159 = 110,000

Complete the square to rewrite y = x2 - 6x + 15 in vertex form. Then state
love history [14]

Since x^2 is the square of x and 6x is twice the product between x and 3, the second square must be 3 squared, i.e. 9.

So, if we think of 15 as 9+6, we have

x^2-6x+9+6 = (x-3)^2+6

Which is the required vertex form. This form tells us imediately that the vertex is the point (3,6).

Since the leading coefficient is 1, the parabola is facing upwards (it's U shaped), so the vertex is a minimum.

A student estimates the weight of astronauts on the moon by multiplying their weight by the decimal 0.16666....what fraction can
Elden [556K]

Let x = 1.66666... ....(1)

Multiply both sides of equation (1) by 10.

10x = 1.666666.... .... (2)

Multiply both sides of equation (1) by 100.

100x = 16.66666....... (3)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (3)

100x - 10x = 16.66666...- 1.66666...

90x = 15

x= \frac{15}{90}  = \frac{1}{6}

Hence, the required fraction form is \frac{1}{6} .... Answer.

The best group to take a sample from would be the eighth graders because they are the ones who will be participating in the dance, so they should have the most input.
