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}

The longer leg of a right triangle is 4 more than the short leg. The hypotenuse is eight less than the sum of the 2 legs.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

SteLet a = short leg of the right triangle, b = the longer leg, and c = the hypotenuse.

The longer leg of a right triangle is 4inches longer than the shorter leg: b = a + 4

The hypotenuse is 8inches longer than the shorter leg:  c = a + 8

 

Use the Pythagorean Theorem:

 

a2 + b2 = c2

a2 + (a+4)2 = (a+8)2

a2 + a2 + 8a + 16 = a2 + 16a + 64

a2 - 8a - 48 = 0

 

Factors to:

 

(a-12)(a+4) = 0

a = 12, -4

 

Since we can't have a side of -4, a = 12

Shorter Leg = 12 inches

Longer Leg = 12 + 4 = 16 inches

Hypotenuse = 12 + 8 = 20 inches
