Answer:
a. 3/4 inches per minute
b. -1 1/8 inches per minute
c. B is fastest; 1 1/8 is more than 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>change</em> is a <em>difference</em>. A <em>rate of change</em> is <em>one difference divided by another</em>, usually the change in y-value divided by the change in x-value.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
The change in elevation is the difference between the elevation at the end of the period (6 inches) and the elevation at the beginning of the period (3 inches). The change in time period is the difference between the end time (8 min) and the beginning time (4 min).
change in elevation per minute = (6 -3 inches)/(8 -4 min)
= (3 inches)/(4 min) = 3/4 inches/minute
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Similarly, ...
change in elevation per minute = (3 -7 1/2 inches)/(18 -14 min)
= (-4 1/2 inches)/(4 min) = -1 1/8 inches/minute
__
<h3>c.</h3>
We know that 3/4 is more than -1 1/8, but when we talk about the "fastest rate of change", we're generally interested in the magnitude--the value without the sign. That means we understand a rate of change of -1 1/8 inches per minute to be "faster" than a rate of change of 3/4 inches per minute.
The rate of change from Part B is fastest. 1 1/8 inches per minute is more than 3/4 inches per minute.

Answer:
<em>The scale factor is 1:125</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Scaling</u>
Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which consists of multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling when representing geographic locations on a map.
On a scale drawing, a distance of 5 meters = 500 cm is represented by 4 centimeters. The scale factor is usually represented as a ratio of the smallest to the biggest magnitude:
The scale factor is 1:125

Answer:0.29
Step-by-step explanation:
An average of six cell phone thefts is reported in San Francisco per day. This means our mean value, u = 6
For poisson distribution,
P(x=r) = (e^-u×u^r)/r!
probability that four cell phones will be reported stolen tomorrow=
P(x=4)= (e^-6×6^4)/4!
= (0.00248×1296)/4×3×2×1
= 3.21408/24=
0.13392
P(x=5)= (e^-6×6^5)/5!
= (0.00248×7776)/5×4×3×2×1
= 19.28448/120
= 0.1607
probability that four or five cell phones will be reported stolen tomorrow
= P(x=4) + P(x=5)
= 0.13392 + 0.1607
= 0.294624
Approximately 0.29
