Answer 1

Corrected Question

e(x)=840-52.5x

Let e(x) be the elevation, in meters, of a cable car from the ground, x minutes after it begins descending from the top of a hill. Since e(14) = ?, the elevation of the cable car will be meters from the ground minutes after it begins descending from the top of the hill.

Answer:

e(14) =105 meters

Elevation of the cable car 14 minutes after it begins descending from the top of the hill= 105 meters from the ground

Explanation:

Given the elevation, e(x) in meters, of a cable car from the ground , x minutes after it begins descending from the top of a hill.

e(x)=840-52.5x

e(14)=840-52.5(14)

e(14)=840-735

e(14)=105 meters

Since e(14) =105 meters, the elevation of the cable car will be 105 meters from the ground 14 minutes after it begins descending from the top of the hill.
