Over the last 2.5 years, the water level in a lake has changed by -0.3 feet per year. Scientists predict that the water level wi

ll continue to go down for the next 5 years at a rate of 0.4 feet per year.
Based on this information, Andrew made several claims. Determine whether each of the claims he makes is true or false.

A
In the last 2.5 years, the water level has decreased 0.75 feet.

True False
B
The overall change of the water level after 7.5 years will be -2.75 feet.

True False
C
The change in water level each year for the next 5 years will be -0.4 feet.

True False
D
The overall change in water level for the next 5 years is equal to 5(0.4).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

"In the last 2.5 years, the water level has decreased 0.75 feet."

In the very first statement it has been stated that over the last 2.5 years, the water level in a lake has changed by -0.3 feet per year. That means in the last 2.5 years , total decrease in level is as follows

2.5 x - 0.3 = - .75 ft .

So the statement is true.

B)

"The overall change of the water level after 7.5 years will be -2.75 feet."

This statement appears to be false based on information provided

No prediction regarding rate of decrease for a period beyond 5 year  has been made so any statement with respect to a timeline of 7.5 years may turn out to be false.

C)

"The change in water level each year for the next 5 years will be -0.4 feet. "

This statement prima-facie appears to be true  because rate of decrease stated in the statement is 0.4 ft /year for next 5 years .

D )

"The overall change in water level for the next 5 years is equal to 5(0.4)"

this statement is true

as change in one year = .4

change in 5 years = 5 x .4

3# Find the missing variable (s). Round to the nearest tenth.
rewona [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:


This triangle is already positioned to match trig functions (also known as circular functions).


Point A is origin, side AC (length x) is on X axis,

side CB (length y) is parallel to Y axis.


***** You just remember *****


cos is horizontal, on X axis,

sin is vertical, on Y axis.

To get from unit triangle with hypotenuse 1,

horizontal side cos(θ), vertical side sin(θ), you multiply all sides by same number, namely, the specified length of the hypotenuse.


***** that's all you need to know *****


Draw a unit circle centered at A, mark point Y at intersection of circle and AB, and drop a vertical line from Y crossing X axis at X.


Then radial segment AY is 1, AB is 10

horizontal segment AX is cos(32°), AC is 10AX

vertical segment XY is sin(32°), CB is 10XY.


So x = 10 cos(32°), y= 10 sin(32°).

Compare 6.23 * 10^14 and 8.912 * 10^12
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

623,000,000,000,000 > 8,912,000,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

8.912·10^12

The exponent is 12, making it 10 to the power of 12. As the exponent is positive, the solution is a number greater than the origin or base number. To find our answer, we move the decimal to the right 12 time(s):

8.912 -> 8,912,000,000,000

6.23·10^14

The exponent is 14, making it 10 to the power of 14. As the exponent is positive, the solution is a number greater than the origin or base number. To find our answer, we move the decimal to the right 14 time(s):

6.23 -> 623,000,000,000,000
