- If San Jose’s coordinates are (76,12) , where the coordinates represent miles, find the distance between San Jose and Sail Francisco to the nearest mile.arrow_forwardAn arrow shot from the ground into the air at an initial speed of 108 ft/s. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t determine when the arrow will be 180 feet from the ground. Round the nearest tenth.arrow_forwardFind the value of the variable(s)arrow_forward
- a. DeepSea Challenger's descent was a change in depth of (-4) feet per second. We can use the equation y = -4x to model this relationship, where y is the depth and x is the time in seconds that have passed. How many seconds does this model suggest it would take for DeepSea Challenger to reach the bottom?arrow_forwardMODELING WITH MATHEMATICS In the diagram of the parking lot shown, mZJKL = 60° , JK = LM=21 feet, and KL = JM =9 feet.arrow_forwardThe equation H=75sin(0.068t−1.56)+76H=75sin(0.068t-1.56)+76 represents the turning of a Ferris wheel. The t represents the time (in seconds) and H is the height (in meters). From the equation answer the following questions What is the radius of the Ferris wheel? How high is the bottom of the Ferris wheel from the ground?arrow_forward
- I need help with this question.arrow_forwardUse the problem situation below to answer Part A, Part B, and Part C. When using a lever (like the one shown below), the weight of an item varies inversely with the item's distance from the center of the lever. This is a lever. Part A: Write a formula to describe the situation, using the variables w for the weight of the item and d for the distance of the item from the center of the lever. Part B: A box that weighs 40 lb. is placed 17 in. from the center. Find the value of k, and write the explicit formula using the same variables from Part A. Part C: If you want to balance the weight of the 40 lb. box, which is 17 in. from the center of the lever, how far from the center of the lever should you place a 50 lb.box? Show your work to support your answer.arrow_forwardMarcus and tia live in different states where the sales tax on items is diffrent.Marcus buys a pair of shoes that cost $35.99 plus 5.5%. Tia buys a pair of shoes that cost $39.99 plus 9% tax.Tia uses a coupon for 15% off her purachase what si the diffrentence in the total cost to the nearest cent that marcus and tia pay for their shoes show your work using expressios and equation.arrow_forward
