A meteorologist is monitoring the atmospheric pressure at various cities whose height above sea level varies. The meteorologist

determines that the atmospheric pressure decreases by 12% for each additional kilometer the city is above sea level. It has been determined that the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 103 kPa (kilopascals).
Determine the atmospheric pressure in the following cities.

A city located 4.6 km above sea level

If the pressure decreases 12% per kilometer of elevation,
then this would be the equation:

      Pressure = (pressure at sea level) · (0.88)^power of (elevation in km) .

If the sea level pressure is 103 kPa and
the city is 4.6 km above sea level, then

      Pressure = (103 kPa) · (0.88)⁴.⁶          (the exponent is " 4.6 ")

                    =  (103 kPa) · (0.5554)

                    =   57 kPa        (rounded) 
__________________________________________

4.6 km is a very high elevation for people to live at.  One reason is just
what we found up above ... the low air pressure makes it tough to get
enough oxygen into your lungs to be able to DO anything.  You would
just have to lay around all day trying to breathe !

I did some searching online looking for major cities at 4.6 km elevation,
and I didn't find any.

4.6 km is almost 3 times as high above sea level as Denver, Colorado is.

Help me do examples for a function and a non function
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

{(1,2) (3,4) (5,6)} and {(1,2) (1,4) (5,6)}

Step-by-step explanation:

you really want to think of a function as a vending machine. if you press B12 on a vending machine because thats where the chips are, only the chips should come out. in a function, the input value aka x (B12, what youre putting in) should only have one output value aka y, (the chips)

an example of a function would be {(1,2) (3,4) (5,6)}

an important thing to remember is that one output value can belong to multiple input values. there can be chips (output) in both B12 and C12 (inputs) BUT as i said before, there CANNOT be two outputs for one input. B12 cannot give you both chips and a drink.

using this, another example of a function would be {(1,2) (3,2) (5,2)}

an example of an non function would be {(1,2) (1,4) (5,6)} because x, the input value, has multiple output values which is not possible. the output of 1 can not be 2 and 4 at the same time which we can see in the (x,y) coordinates.

Jamie did some push-ups on Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday, he did 300 push-ups, which was three times the difference of the numb
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The answer is 150, because 300 / 3 = 100, and 100 + 150 = 150.
