When the Olympic Games were held outside Mexico City in 1968, there was much discussion about the effect the high altitude (7340

feet) would have on the athletes. Assuming air pressure decays exponentially by 0.4% every 100 feet, by what percentage is air pressure reduced by moving from sea level to Mexico City?

Answer: By moving from sea level to Mexico City  air pressure is reduced by 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to apply a decrease rate formula

P0 (1-r)^x

Where:  

p0= initial pressure

r = decrease rate. (0.4 = 0.4/100=0.004 decimal form)

x = feet (hundredths, since the air pressure decays every 100 feet we have to divide the input value by 100)

Replacing with the values given

P0 (1- 0.4/100)^(7340/100) =

P0 (0.996)^73.4 =

P0 ( 0.75)=

The air pressure at Mexico City compared to the sea level is 75% (0.75 x 100 =75%)

To obtain the percent decrease  

100% -75% =25%

What is the approximate percent decrease when a fish count goes down from 850 to 500? The percent decrease is approximately 40%.
Korolek [52]

Answer:

<h2><em>The percent decrease is approximately 40%. </em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

initial count of fish= 850

final count of fish= 500

Required

% decrease

Step two:

% decrease= final-initial/initial*100

substitute

% decrease= 850-500/850*100

% decrease=350/850*100

% decrease= 0.41*100

% decrease= 40.1%

<em>The percent decrease is approximately 40%. </em>

Answer: C)46 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the circumference of a circle can be calculated with this formula:

C=2\pi r

Where "r" is the radius of the circle.

Since John is putting a fence around his garden that is shaped like a half circle and a rectangle, then we can find how much fencing he needs by making this addition:

Fencing=\frac{2\pi r}{2}+2l+w

Where "l" is the lenght of the rectangle and "w" is the width of the rectangle.

Since we know that the radius of the circle is half its diameter, we can find "r". This is:

r=\frac{7ft}{2}=3.5ft

Then, substituting values (and using \pi=\frac{22}{7}), we get:

Fencing=\frac{2(\frac{22}{7})(3.5ft)}{2}+2(14ft)+7ft=46ft

A square on a coordinate plane has the points A(0, 0), B(0, 5), C(5, 5) and D(5, 0). If Square ABCD is rotated about the origin
Georgia [21]

Answer:

B. 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, dilation, rotation or translation.

If a point X(x,y) is rotated about the origin 180 degrees clockwise the new point is at X'(-x, -y).

If the square with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 5), C(5, 5) and D(5, 0) is rotated about the origin 180 degrees clockwise the new points are at A'(0, 0), B'(0, -5), C'(-5, -5), D'(-5, 0)

A square has four equal sides. The distance between two points X(x_1,y_1)\ and\ Y(x_2,y_2) is:

|XY|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Hence:

|A'B'|=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(-5-0)^2} =5
