Aplane that carries mail makes a round trip each day from chicago to new york. it makes 2 intermediate stops on the way to new york and 1 intermediate stop on the way back to chicago. suppose you make a graph of the altitude of the plane for one day, with time on the horizontal axis and altitude on the vertical axis. how many times will the graph touch the horizontal axis?
a. 3
b. 6
c. 5
d. 9

Option: C

Step-by-step explanation:

As going from Chicago to New York the plane makes two intermediate stops.

This means that the graph will touch the Horizontal axis

After going back from New York to Chicago

This means that the graph will touch the horizontal axis

but the Point on the Horizontal axis at New York and Chicago is counted twice

Hence, the total times the graph will touch the horizontal axis is 5.

Hence, option: C is correct.

7. d. 64

8. i. 32

9. c. 125

10. j. none of the above

11. d. 81

12. i. 216

13. e. none of the above

14. g. 240

15. e. none of the above

16. g. 32

17.   e. none of the above

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
