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.

*31. Priya and Ravish planned to participate in a cycle race to be organised for National integration. They decided
Julli [10]

Answer:

36 minutes

2 rounds for Priya

3 rounds for Ravish

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is the LCM (least common multiple) of 12 and 18.

12 = 2^2 x 3

18 = 3^2 x 2

=>LCM of 12 and 18 = 2^2 x 3^2 = 4 x 9 = 36

=> After 36 minutes they meet again at the starting point

=> At that time, Priya has completed: 36/18 = 2 rounds

=> At that time, Ravish has completed: 36/12 = 3 rounds

PLEASE HELP ASAP f(x) = x2 What is g(x)?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

c. g(x) = 4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From a first glance, since g(x), is skinnier than f(x), meaning that it is increasing faster, so I know that I can eliminate options A & B since the coefficient on x needs to be greater than 1.

We can then look and see that g(1) = 4 as shown by the point given to us on the graph.

To find the right answer we can find g(1) for options C & D and whichever one matches the point on the graph is our correct answer. e

Option C:

once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like

4(1)^2.

1^2 = 1, and 4(1) = 4,

so g(1) = 4. and our point is (1,4).

This is the same as the graph so this is the CORRECT answer.

If you want to double check, you can still find g(1) for option D and verify that it is the WRONG answer.

Option D:

once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like

16(1)^2

1^2 = 1, and 16(1) = 16,

so g(1) = 16. and our point is (1,16).

This is different than the graph so this is the WRONG answer.
