<h3>Answer: B. 62 degrees fahrenheit</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

x = elevation in feet

y = temperature in fahrenheit

The temperature goes up 1/10 = 0.1 degrees for every 100-foot increase of elevation. So the slope is 0.1/100 = 0.001, which tells us how fast the temperature is increasing. In other words, the temperature goes up 0.001 degrees each time the elevation goes up by 1 foot.

The ground temperature is 60 degrees, which is our starting temperature. It's the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, 60 is the y intercept.

We have a slope of m = 0.001 and a y intercept of b = 60. The equation y = mx+b becomes y = 0.1x+60

Now plug in x = 2000 to find the temperature at this elevation

y = 0.001x+60

y = 0.001*2000+60

y = 2+60

y = 62

Answer:

B.62

Step-by-step explanation:

60 + (2000/100)            We find 20 is the answer to the division

60 + (20 * 1/10)           We find 2 is the answer to the multiplication

60 + (2)  

We can then + for elevation or - or depression or decrease.

= 62

= 62 degrees.

Answer:

y^1=-1(x-1)+(1+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-1x+1\ \ == > \ \ y^1=-1(x-1)+(1+9)

-1 horizontally = 1 units left (the x-axis)

9 vertically = 9 units up (y-axis)

*Black line: is the preimage

*Red line is the translation

A Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 10 milliliters every 8.5 seconds. Express this
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The answer to the nearest hundredth is 0.07 liters per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are told to express the given metric in liters per minute.

The key to answering this question, is to

have the given measurements in the metric in which we want to have the answer.

Hence, we do this by converting milliliters to liters and seconds to minute.

Let’s start with milliliters;

Mathematically;

1000 milliliters = 1 liters

10 milliliters = x liters

x * 1000 = 10 * 1

x = 10/1000

x = 1/100

x = 0.01 liters

For the seconds;

We need to convert the seconds to minutes;

Mathematically;

60 seconds = 1 minute

8.5 seconds = y minutes

60 * y = 8.5 * 1

y = 8.5/60

y = 0.14167 minutes

Now, our rate of flow is liters per minute, that means we have to divide the volume by the time;

Hence, we have ;

0.01/0.14167 = 0.070588235294

Which to the nearest hundredth is 0.07

Multiply. (2.5×10−10)(7×10−6) express your answer in scientific notation. 1.75×1016 1.75×10−15 1.75×10−16 1.75×10−17
avanturin [10]
(2,5 x 10^-10)(7 x 10^-6) = (2.5 x 7) x 10^(-10 - 6) = 17.5 x 10^-16 = 1.75 x 10^-15
