The pressure at sea level is 11 atmosphere and increases at a constant rate as depth increases. When Sydney dives to a depth of

2323 meters, the pressure around her is 3.33.3 atmospheres. The pressure pp in atmospheres is a function of xx, the depth in meters. Write the function's formula.

Answer:

p(x) = 0.1x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure at sea level = 1 atmosphere

Depth dove by Sydney = 23 meters

Pressure at a depth of 23 meters = 3.3 atmospheres

So,

Pressure at a depth of 23 meters = Pressure at sea level + k * Depth dove by Sydney

where k is  the diving rate constant

=> 3.3 = 1 + k(23)

=> 3.3 = 23k + 1

Subtracting 1 from both the sides, we get

3.3 - 1 = 23k + 1 -1

Cancelling out the +1 and -1 from the right side, we get

2.3 = 23k

=> 23k = 2.3

Dividing both sides by 23, we get

\frac{23k}{23} = \frac{2.3}{23}

Cancelling out the 23's from the top and bottom of the left side, we have

k = 0.1

Plugging in the value of k in the equation, we get

Pressure at a particular depth = Pressure at sea level + k * Depth dove by Sydney

p(x) = 1 + k(x)     [where p(x) is the pressure at a depth x]

=> p(x) = 1 + 0.1(x)

=> p(x) = 0.1x + 1

Use the quadratic formula to solve each equation.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

1) x_1 = \frac{2 - 2\sqrt{13}}{2}= 1-\sqrt{13}

x_2 = \frac{2 + 2\sqrt{13}}{2}= 1+\sqrt{13}

2) x_1 = \frac{6 - 2\sqrt{10}}{1}= 6-2\sqrt{10}

x_2 = \frac{6 + 2\sqrt{10}}{1}= 6+2\sqrt{10}

3) p_1 = \frac{-8 - 2\sqrt{30}}{4}= -2-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{30}

p_2 = \frac{-8 + 2\sqrt{30}}{4}= -2+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{30}

4) y_1 = \frac{-3 - 9}{4}=-3

y_2 = \frac{-3 + 9}{4}= \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is given by:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}

We can use this formula in order to solve the following equations:

1. x^2 − 2x = 12 → a = 1, b = −2, c = −12

For this case if we apply the quadratic formula we got:

x = \frac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 -4(1)(-12)}}{2(1)}

x_1 = \frac{2 - 2\sqrt{13}}{2}= 1-\sqrt{13}

x_2 = \frac{2 + 2\sqrt{13}}{2}= 1+\sqrt{13}

2. 1/2x^2 − 6x = 2 → a = 1 / 2, b = −6, c = −2

For this case if we apply the quadratic formula we got:

x = \frac{-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2 -4(1/2)(-2)}}{2(1/2)}

x_1 = \frac{6 - 2\sqrt{10}}{1}= 6-2\sqrt{10}

x_2 = \frac{6 + 2\sqrt{10}}{1}= 6+2\sqrt{10}

3. 2p^2 + 8p = 7 → a = 2, b = 8, c = −7

For this case if we apply the quadratic formula we got:

p = \frac{-(8) \pm \sqrt{(8)^2 -4(2)(-7)}}{2(2)}

p_1 = \frac{-8 - 2\sqrt{30}}{4}= -2-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{30}

p_2 = \frac{-8 + 2\sqrt{30}}{4}= -2+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{30}

4. 2y^2 + 3y − 5 = 4 → a = 2, b = 3, c = −9

For this case if we apply the quadratic formula we got:

y = \frac{-(3) \pm \sqrt{(3)^2 -4(2)(-9)}}{2(2)}

y_1 = \frac{-3 - 9}{4}=-3

y_2 = \frac{-3 + 9}{4}= \frac{3}{2}

Lexi made 14 sandwiches for a group picnic. The number of ham sandwiches she made was 4 less than the twice the number of turkey
shutvik [7]

x = # of ham sandwiches

14-x = # of turkey sandwiches ( as Lexi made 14 sandwiches)


as the question said that the number of ha sandwiches are 4 less than twice number of turkey sandwiches,

x = 2 * (14-x) - 4 = 24 - 2x

3x=24

x = 8


the number of ham sandwiches is 8, and the number of turkey sandwiches is 14-8=6
