<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.

How can sums and differences of cubes be identified for factoring?
yan [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two perfect cubes breaks down into two factors, the first is the sum of their cube roots, and the second is made up of the square of the first root minus the product of both roots plus the square of the second root.

The difference of two perfect cubes is decomposed into two factors, the first is the difference of their cube roots, and the second is made up of the square of the first root plus the product of both roots plus the square of the second root.

Jason has decided to sell one of his baseball cards. The card is valued at $51.00. The store is only offering Jason $29.00. How
sveta [45]
Well, just take the difference, 51-29, and 22 is how much less his card it being valued at. Or you can do 29-55, which would be -22, showing the amount and that it's valued less.

Find the measure of line f and g
kiruha [24]

In this case we use intersecting secant theorem  

According to this theorem, GF*GE = GH*GA

So,we plug in the values

(x-3)*(x-3+9) =(x-2)*(x-2+6)

(x-3)*(x+6) =(x-2)*(x+4)

x^2 +6x -3x -18 =x^2 +4x -2x -8

x^2 +3x -18 =x^2 +2x -8

x^2 +3x -18 -x^2 -2x +8 =0

x -10 =0

x=10

So,FG =x-3 = 10-3 =7

Use the Distributive Property to simplify the expression 6 • 68.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6*68=408

------------------

48/10=4.8

----------------

3.8=x/7.7

x=3.8*7.7x

x=29.26

---------------

x+5.1=13.4

x=13.4-5.1

x=8.3

---------------

8x=64

x=64/8

x=8

--------------

22=m+1

m=22-1

m=21

----------

45-4x for x=5

45-4(5)=45-20=25

---------------------------
