Question

A commercial jet liner hits an air pocket and drops 232 feet. After climbing 100​feet, it drops another 173 feet. What is its overall vertical​ change?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The overall vertical change is calculated by adding the drops and subtracting the climb.

Total drop = 232 feet + 173 feet = 405 feet

Overall vertical change = Total drop - climb = 405 feet - 100 feet = 305 feet

Answer 2

A commercial jet liner hits an air pocket and drops 242 feet. After climbing 120 ​feet, it drops another 137 feet. What is its overall vertical​ change?

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The overall vertical change is calculated by adding the drops and subtracting the climb.

Total drop = 242 feet + 137 feet = 379 feet

Overall vertical change = Total drop - climb = 379 feet - 120 feet = 259 feet

Answer 4

To find the overall vertical change of the commercial jet liner, we need to calculate the sum of the two drops.

First, it drops 232 feet. Then, it climbs 100 feet (which is in the opposite direction of a drop) and finally drops another 173 feet.

To find the overall change, we need to subtract the climb from the two drops:

Overall vertical change = (232 ft) + (-100 ft) + (173 ft)

= 332 ft - 100 ft + 173 ft

= 405 ft

Therefore, the overall vertical change of the commercial jet liner is 405 feet.
