Mr. Burnam decided to go hot air ballooning for his fortieth birthday. He launches from 6 feet above ground and then ascends 12 feet further. He didn't want to leave his wife behind, so he descends 20 feet to meet her. Where does mr. Burnam end up?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  2 feet below the ground level at the place where he started.

Step-by-step explanation:

After he adds 12 feet of elevation to the 6 feet above ground level where he launched, Mr Burnam is 6+12 = 18 feet above the ground level where he launched.

If he descends 20 feet, he will be 18 -20 = -2 feet above the ground level where he launched. That is, he is 2 feet below the ground level where he launched. We hope the ground slopes downward somewhat so Mr Burnam is not buried in the ground at that point.

Answer 2

Mr. Burnam ends up at 8 feet above ground.

To determine Mr. Burnam's final position, we need to consider each of his movements:

1. He starts from 6 feet above ground.

2. He ascends 12 feet further, so we add 12 feet to his initial height of 6 feet, which gives us (6 + 12 = 18) feet.

3. Then, he descends 20 feet to meet his wife. We subtract these 20 feet from his current height of 18 feet, which gives us (18 - 20 = -2) feet.

Since he can't be below ground, we adjust the calculation to reflect that he stops at ground level. Therefore, we take the absolute value of the result to find out how far above ground he is after the descent. The absolute value of -2 feet is 2 feet.

Now, we add this to the initial 6 feet from which he launched: (6 + 2 = 8) feet.

So, Mr. Burnam ends up at 8 feet above ground after all the ascending and descending.

Answers

Answer: B) 3(9+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

B is the correct answer because of the PEMDAS rule telling in what order to solve an expression with more than one operation. (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction). Therefore, with parentheses coming before multiplication in the PEMDAS rule it would be adding 9+4 and then mulriplying it by three.

Which function has an inverse that is not a function?

f(x) = x^2

f(x) = 2x

f(x) = x + 2

f(x) = √x

Answers

Answer:

your choice is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 does not pass the horizontal line test (a horizontal line intersects its graph in two places), so its inverse does not pass the vertical line test. The inverse is not a function.

_____

Comment on the graph

The original function f(x)=x^2 is shown by the red curve. Its reflection across the orange dashed line y=x gives the inverse relation, in blue. The black horizontal and vertical lines show the multiple points of intersection with the curves, indicating the inverse relation is not a function.

Given four functions, which one will have the smallest y-intercept?

f(x)

g(x)

h(x)

j(x)

Answers

Answer:

g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept is the y cutting point, at x = 0.

1. f(x)

This will be an exponential function that starts from 6 and moves upward exponentially. So y-intercept is 6.

2. g(x)

We can see that at x = 0, the value of the function is 2, so that is the y cutting point. So y-intercept is 2.

3. h(x)

We can clearly see from the graph that the y-cutting point is at 4. So y-intercept is 4.

4. j(x)

We can plug in x = 0 into the equation to find y intercept.

[tex]j(x)=10(2)^x\\=10(2)^0\\=10(1)\\=10[/tex]

So y - intercept is 10.

Smallest y-intercept is that of g(x).

F) Determining how many different ways 4 cashiers can be chosen to work from a group of 6 cashiers.

Answers

Answer:

A, B, E

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutations are involved when order matters, as in lane assignment, passwords, and seating charts.

When the end result is a "group of 10 students", "3 employees", or "4 cashiers", clearly order does not matter. One student, employee, or cashier is as good as another in these cases.

Using it's definition, it is found that these following situations involve permutations:

A) Determining how many different ways 7 runners can be assigned lanes on a track for a race.

B) Determining how many 5-letter passwords can be made using the word "graph."

E) Determining how many different seating charts can be made placing 6 people around a table.

When are permutations used?Permutations are used when the order of the elements is important.

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by:

In this problem:

In items A, B and E, the order is important, for example, "rgaph" is a different word than "graph", hence they are permutations.In items C, D and F, the order is not important, hence they are not permutations, they are combinations.

Which of the following describes the given graph of the function over the interval [2, 6]? A. increasing B. constant C. decreasing D. decreasing to increasing

Answers

A.Increasing is the answer

Final answer:

To determine the function's behavior over an interval, compare the y-values as the x-values increase. It could be increasing, decreasing, constant, or changing direction. Choose the description that matches the graph's movement over the given interval.

Explanation:

To determine how the function behaves over the interval [2, 6], we must look at the description of the graph presented. If during the interval the function is always moving upwards as the x-values increase, then it is increasing. If it moves downwards, it is decreasing. If the graph stays at the same level without moving up or down, then it would be constant. If the graph changes its direction, from either increasing to decreasing or vice versa, then it would be described as decreasing to increasing or increasing to decreasing, accordingly. Given these possibilities, the student should match the behavior of the graph with one of these descriptions.

Which choice correctly compares the two numbers?

B) 21.02 < 20.55
C) 21.05 < 20.30
D) 21.22 > 21.30


Answers

Answer:

A) 20.82 > 20.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hopefully, your issue is with the symbols (< vs >) rather than actually determining which number is larger or smaller.

The wide-open end of the symbol (the left side, in the case of >) indicates the larger (more positive) number.

So, the meanings of the symbols are ...

> — "is greater than"

< — "is less than"

The only true statement of those listed is ...

20.82 is greater than 20.55, or 20.82 > 20.55 . . . . selection A

_____

When writing number comparisons, I like to use the < symbol, because it puts the numbers in number-line order. That is, the smaller (or more negative) number is on the left, just as it is on a number line.

You trade the places of the numbers when changing the symbol. For example, answer choice A could be rewritten as ...

20.55 < 20.82

You know that 20.55 is to the left of 20.82 on the number line, so you know this statement is true.

This "multiplicative inverse" is also called the reciprocal. It has the property that when multiplied by the coefficient of x, the result is 1, the multiplicative identity element. So, your equation becomes ...

At least how many times must you flip a fair coin before there is at least a 50% probability that you will get at least three heads?

Answers

Final answer:

To get at least a 50% probability of getting at least three heads, you must flip a fair coin at least four times.

Explanation:

To calculate the minimum number of times a fair coin must be flipped before there is at least a 50% probability of getting at least three heads, we can use the concept of probability. Let's assume that flipping a coin is a binary event with two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T).



The probability of getting three or more heads in one flip is zero, since we can only get a maximum of two heads in one flip. However, we can calculate the probability of getting three or more heads in a series of flips.



The probability of getting at least three heads in one flip is zero, but we can calculate the probability of getting at least three heads in two flips, three flips, four flips, and so on. We continue calculating the probability until we find the number of flips that gives us a probability of at least 50%.



Using this method, we find that we need to flip the coin at least 4 times to have a probability of at least 50% of getting at least three heads. This means that after flipping the coin four times (or more), there is a better than 50% chance of getting at least three heads.
