<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.

1/2r -3= 3 (4-3/2r) solve for r
s2008m [1.1K]

1/2r -3= 3 (4-3/2r) is to be solved for r.


I'll begin by making the assumptions that by 1/2r you actually meant (1/2)r and that by 3/2r you actually meant (3/2)r. When in doubt, please use parentheses to make your meaning clear.


Thus, 1/2r -3= 3 (4-3/2r) becomes (1/2)r -3= 3 (4-(3/2)r ) .

Simplify this by multiplying all 3 terms by 2. Doing this will eliminate the fractions:


r -6 = 3 (4*2-(3)r ) or r - 6 = 24 - 9r


Now expand the right side, using the distributive property of

r - 3 = 24 - 9r


Regrouping so as to combine like terms:


10r = 30


Solving for r: r = 30/10 = 3


The value of r that satisfies this equation is 3

AI Prove that:<br>1-cOS A<br>V1+cos A<br>cosec A-cot A​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

(1-cosA)/(1+cosA)

=(1-cosA)/(1+cosA) ×(1-cosA)/(1-cosA)

=(1-cosA)^2 /(1-cos^2A)

=(1-cosA)^2 / (sin^2A)

=(1/sinA - cosA/sinA )^2

=cosecA - cotA)^2

Hope it helps

Have a great Day ; )
