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.

gladu [14]
Let the total amount that Sarah deposited be $x
using the annuity formula:
A=P[((1+r)^n-1)/r]
A=future value
r=rate
n=number of years
from the information given:
A=$500000
r=2.75%
n=65-42=23 years
p=$x
thus plugging our values in the formula we get:
500000=x[((1+0.0275)^(23)-1)/(0.0275)]
500000=31.50x
x=15,872.04883
She deposited 15,873.04883 per year
The monthly deposit will therefore be:
15873.04883/12=$1322.67

A cuboid has a square base.
padilas [110]

The length of one side of the square base is 8.5 centimeters.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Volume of cuboid = 867 cm
  • Height = 12 cm

To find the length of one side of the square base:

Mathematically, the volume of a cuboid is given by the formula:

Volume = Base \; area × Height

Substituting the given values, we have:

867 = Base \; area × 12

Base\;area = \frac{867}{12}

Base area = 72.225 cm^2

Now, we can find the length by using the formula:

Area \;of\;a \;square = length^2

72.25 = length^2

Length = \sqrt{72.25}

<em>Length</em><em> = </em><em>8.5 centimeters</em>.

Therefore, the length of one side of the square base is 8.5 centimeters.

Find the volume and surface area of this prism.
mina [271]

Answer:

V = 408 cm cubed

SA = 558 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a prism, multiply the area of the base by the height. This is 1/2 times width times height times length.

V =1/2 l*w*h =1/2* 6*8*17 = 408

To find the surface area of a prism, find the area of the triangular base and the area of each rectangular side.

Area of the base is A = 1/2 * b*h = 1/2 * 6 * 8 = 24. Since there are 2 bases, the area is 48.

Area of the rectangular side is A = b*h = 17*10 = 170. Since there are three, the area is 3*170 = 510.

The surface area of the prism is 48 + 510 = 558.
