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.

A square and a rectangle have equal areas. If the dimensions of
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

L = 3√5

Step-by-step explanation:

A square and a rectangle have equal areas.

Area of a square = Area of a rectangle

L² = H * W

If the dimensions of the rectangle are 15 units by 3 units,

L² = 15 * 3

L² = 45

Determine the length of the side of the square.

L = √45

L = 3√5

Dora says that of all the possible rectangles with the same area, the rectangle with the largest perimeter will have two side le
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

  maybe

Step-by-step explanation:

Dora is apparently assuming the dimensions are integers. In that case she is correct.

If the dimensions are unconstrained, the perimeter will be largest when a pair of opposite sides will be the smallest measure allowed.

For some perimeter P and side length x, the area is ...

  A = x(P/2 -x)

Conversely, the perimeter for a given area is ...

  P = 2(A/x +x)

This gets very large when x gets very small, so Dora is correct in saying that the side lengths that are as small as they can be will result in the largest perimeter. We have no way of telling if her assumption of integer side lengths is appropriate. If it is not, her statement makes no sense.
