Air pressure may be represented as a function of height (in meters) above the

Mathematics

denis-greek [22]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Air pressure may be represented as a function of height (in meters) above the surface of the Earth, as shown below:</h3><h3>  P(h) =P_0e^{-0.00012h} </h3><h3> In this function P_o   is the air pressure at the surface of the earth, and h is the height above the surface of the Earth, measured in meters. At what height will the air pressure equal 50% of the air pressure at the surface of the Earth"</h3><h3></h3>

Given the following function:

P(h) =P_0e^{-0.00012h}

In order to calculate at what  height the air pressure will be equal 50% of the air pressure at the surface of the Earth, you can follow these steps:

1. You need to substitute P(h)=0.5P_o into the function:

0.5P_o=P_0e^{-0.00012h}

2. Finally, you must solve for h.

Remember the following property of logarithms:

ln(b)^a=a*ln(b)\\\\ln(e)=1

Then, you get this result:

0.5P_o=\frac{P_o}{e^{0.00012h}}\\\\(0.5P_o)(e^{0.00012h})=P_o\\\\e^{0.00012h}=\frac{P_o}{0.5P_o}\\\\ln(e)^{0.00012h}=ln(2)\\\\0.00012h*1=ln(2)\\\\h=\frac{ln(2)}{0.00012}\\\\h=5576.2

Triangles EFG and QRS are similar. The lengths of the sides of EFG are 72, 64, and 56. The length of the smallest side of QRS is
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

180\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If triangles EFG and QRS are similar

then

the scale factor is equal to the measure of the smallest side of triangle QRS divided by the smallest side of triangle EFG

so

Let

x-------> the smallest side of triangle QRS

y-------> the smallest side of triangle EFG

z-------> the scale factor

we have

x=140\ units, y=56\ units

substitute the values

z=\frac{140}{56}

z=2.5

Find the length of the longest side of QRS

The length of the longest side of QRS is equal to multiply the scale factor by the length of the longest side of EFG

so

2.5*72=180\ units

What type of angle is
mash [69]

Answer:

I'm really sorry I can't tell you the answer because you have to measure the angle by yourself using a protractor. But I gave you information about types of angles if you got the degree of angles ( e.g 90 degrees). Hope it helped.

Step-by-step explanation:

acute angle-an angle between 0 and 90 degrees  

right angle-an 90 degree angle  

obtuse angle-an angle between 90 and 180 degrees  

straight angle-a 180 degree angle

N(-2,-2) After a rotation 90 degrees counterclockwise
RUDIKE [14]

Answer: (2,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotating 90 degrees counterclockwise (about the origin) maps (x,y) onto (-y,x), so the answer is <u>N'(2,-2)</u>
