A meteorologist is monitoring the atmospheric pressure as his height above sea level varies. The meteorologist determines that t

he atmospheric pressure decreases by 12% for each additional kilometer the city is above sea level. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 103 kPa (kilopascals). Define a function, p , that determines the atmospheric pressure (in kPA) in terms of the number of kilometers the city is above sea level, n .

Answer:

The function p(n) is represented by p(n) = 103\cdot (0.88)^{n}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement indicates that atmospheric pressure decreases exponentially when height above sea level is increased. This fact is represented by the following model:

p(n) = p_{o}\cdot r^{n} (Eq. 1)

Where:

p_{o} - Atmospheric pressure at sea level, measured in kilopascals.

r -Atmospheric pressure decrease rate, dimensionless.

n - Height above sea level, measured in kilometers.

p(n) - Current pressure, measured in kilopascals.

If we know that p_{o} = 103\,kPa and r = 0.88, the function p(n) is represented by:

p(n) = 103\cdot (0.88)^{n}

Then determine which answer
shtirl [24]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph that is going to show the function, has two parts: one for numbers equal or less than 3 and the other for numbers greater than 3

Then, for x≤3, the function is f(x) = 4. This is a constant so the graph is a horizontal line.

Additionally, for x>3, the function is f(x)=12x. This is a straight line with a positive slope.

So, the answer that follows these 2 conditions is B.

nter an equation and an answer to the following question: What is the original list price if the discount is $25 and the discoun
castortr0y [4]

Let us set up an equation, to determine the list price. X represents the original price

.12 * x = 25

In order to solve for X, you must divide .12 from both sides

x = 25/.12

After you divide, you should get the number 208.33

25/.12 = 208.33

So, the original list price is $208.33
