Answer:

The graph of atmospheric pressure based on height, in miles, above sea level is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general exponential function is

f(x)=ab^x

Where a is initial value of the function and b is growth rate.

It is given that the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 lb/in2. This pressure is reduced by half for each 3.6 miles above sea level.

It means the initial value of the function is 14.7 and the growth factor is (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{3.6}}.

The required function is

f(x)=14.7(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{x}{3.6}}

Here, x is distance in miles above the sea-level  and f(x) is atmospheric pressure in lb/in² at x miles above the sea-level.

The table of values is

 x              f(x)

 0             14.7

3.6            7.35

7.2           3.675

10.8         1.8375

Therefore, the graph of atmospheric pressure based on height, in miles, above sea level is attached below.

It could be a linear graph with a negative slope 
x axis  is height above ground and y axis id air pressure
so there willbe a point  at (0,14.7) on y axis representing the pressure at sea level. There will be another point at (3.6, 7.35) where  air pressure is half that at ground level. The straight line will continue until it reaches the x axis  ad (0, 7.2)  where there is no air pressure.

Use the formula to evaluate the series 3-9+27-81+...-a8
Andrej [43]

In the given series, we see that the first term is 3 and the common ratio between the succeeding terms is -3. To solve for the sum of the first 8 terms, we use the equation,

                                    Sum = (a1)(1 – r^n) / (1 – r)

Substituting the known terms,

                                    Sum = (3)(1 – (-3)^8)/(1 - -3) = -4920

<span>Thus, the answer is -4920.</span>

Rose bought a bag of potatoes for $6.00 and some granola bars for $5.25 per package. Her total bill was $74.25. How many package
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Rose bought 14 packages of granola bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bill = 1 bag of potatoes + x amount of packages of granola bars

Total bill = $74.25

1 bag of potatoes = $6.00

1 package of granola bar = 5.25

We set the equation to:

74.25 = 6.00 + 5.25x

Subtract 6.00 from both sides:

68.25 = 5.25x

Divide both sides by 5.25 to leave x by itself

68.25/5.25 = 5.25x/5.25

13 = x

This means Rose bought 13 packages of granola bars.

Let's recheck our work by inputting x = 13 into the equation:

74.25 = 6.00 + 5.25(13)

74.25 = 6.00 + 68.25

74.25 = 74.25

If f(x)=1/x+2/x, then f(1/3)=
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

f(1/3) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=1/x+2/x

Combine terms

f(x) = 3/x

f(1/3) = 3 / (1/3)

f(1/3) = 9
