An F-22 Raptor is approaching Nellis Air Force Base at an altitude of 2,640 feet. If the horizontal distance from the plane to the runway is 1.2 miles, use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal distance from the plane to the runway (in miles). (5,280 feet equals 1 mile)

A plane starts to take off from the beginning of the runway. When the plane is level with the end of the runway, it is 500 feet above the ground. A bird is flying in the same direction. It is 8 feet above the ground and 15 feet from the begining of the runway. How far is the plane from the beginning of the runway?

What is the distance, to the nearest mile, from the origin of the Nile when the riverhas an altitude of 1200 ft?

Suppose that there are initially 75 bacteria in a colony and after 3 hours, there are 300 bacteria in the colony.Assuming exponential growth, how many bacteria are there after 7 hours? Round to the nearest whole number.

The roller coaster is 80 feet above the ground at a horizontal position of 110 feet from the boarding station.The roller coaster is at a height of 100 feet above the ground as it descends the hill and reaches a horizontal position of 170 feet from the boarding station.The roller coaster levels off at a height of 80 feet above the ground at a horizontal position of 200 feet from the boarding station, then resumes dropping.A drawing of a section of the roller coaster with points marked at 110 comma 80, 170 comma 100, and 200 comma 80.Using the height of 80 feet as a baseline (because that is also the height the roller coaster is when it levels off), determine the rule for the polynomial function representing the height of the roller coaster,  h open parentheses x close parentheses, at a horizontal position of x feet from that of the boarding station. This rule can be left in factored form. Fill in the blanks to report your result as follows. a should be written as an integer or…
