Answers:

1) The dependent variable is the boiling point of water and the independent variable is the altitude.

2) The slope would represent the average decrease of the boiling point of water per every one thousand feet that the altitude increase.

Explanation:

1) given

Table:

<span>Altitude (in thousands of feet)    Boiling Point of Water (Fahrenheit)

(sea level) 0                                212
0.5                                               211.1
1.0                                               210
2.0                                               208.4
2.5                                               207.5
3.0                                               206.6
4.0                                               204.8
4.5                                               203.9

2) The independent variable is the input of the function, and the dependent variable is the output of the function.

The input determines the output once the rule is established.

Therefore:

a) the independent variable is the altitude, and
b) the dependent variable is the boiling point of water in Farenheit.

3) The slope of the graph would be:

                 change in the dependent variable          change in boiling point
slope = --------------------------------------------------- =  ---------------------------------
</span>                 change in the independent variable          change in altitude

Therefore, the slope represents the average change in the boiling boilin point of water every one thousand feet on change of altitude.

If the relationship is not linear, then the slope is not constant, and you will have different slopes for different parts.

If the slope is negative, means that as the altitude increase the boiling point of water decrease.

You can calculate the slope using any two pair of points (data)

              212 - 210           2
slope =---------------- =   ------- = - 2
                0 - 1            - 1

or, using other pair of points:

                204.8 - 210           -5.2             
slope = --------------------- =   --------- = -2.6
                  4.0 - 2.0               2.0

As you see, the slope is not constant. So, the function is not linear.

Answer:

For every increase of 1,000 feet in altitude, the boiling point of water decreases by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is the perimeter of this figure? fractions
Alona [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add the numbers to get the perimeter

10 1/3 + 15 2/3 = 26

18 1/4 + 24 1/4= 42 1/2

26 + 42 1/2= 68 1/2

That is answer choice A

Find the oth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ...
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:

a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

7, 14, 28, ...

We know that a geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

\frac{14}{7}=2,\:\quad \frac{28}{14}=2

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

r=2

now substituting r = 2 and a₁ = 7 in the nth term

a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}

Therefore, the nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:

a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}
