Question

Help meeeeeeeeeee pleaseee

Answer 1

The pressure of 28 inches of mercury occurs about 6 miles from the eye of the hurricane. We get this from the given algebraic expression.

What is an expression?

An expression is formed by variables, constants, and algebraic operations. Since the operation among them is an algebraic or arithmetic operation, it is said to be an algebraic expression.

Calculation:

It is given that the algebraic expression that relates the barometric pressure and the eye of the hurricane as

f(x) = 0.48 ln(x+2) + 27

Here x is the distance in miles from the eye of the hurricane.

f(x) is the pressure of the mercury in a barometer in inches

So, the required distance from the eye of the hurricane when the pressure of 28 inches of mercury in the meter is

(Here f(x) = 28)

f(x) = 0.48 ln(x+2) + 27

⇒ 28 = 0.48 ln(x+2) + 27

⇒ 0.48 ln(x+2) = 28 - 27

⇒ ln (x+2) = 1/0.48

⇒ ln(x+2) = 2.0833

Applying exponential base "e" on both sides, we get

(x+2) = $e^{2.0833}$

⇒ x + 2 = 8.0309

⇒ x = 8.0309 - 2 = 6.0309

When the result is rounded to the nearest whole number, we get x = 6 miles.

Thus, for the pressure of 28 inches of mercury, the eye of the hurricane is 6 miles far from the barometer.
