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%

How does the graph y=3^x compare to the graph y=3^-x
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Y = 3x^x is a graph that has exponential growth while y = 3^-x has exponential decay.

Y = 3x^x (-∞, 0) and (∞, ∞).

Y = 3x^-x (-∞, ∞) and (∞, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

The infinity symbols were being used to represent the x and y values of each graph. I will call y = 3^x "graph 1" and y = 3^-x "graph 2".

When graph 1 had positive ∞ for its x value, its y value was reaching towards positive ∞. When its x was reaching for negative ∞, its y was going for 0.

For graph 2, however, when its x was reaching for positive ∞, its x was reaching for 0. When its x was reaching for negative ∞, its y was going for positive ∞.

Here's an image of the graphs:

If two angles are known to be the same, the triangles are similar! If this is true, then by default the third angle will be the same. So, triangles that have two of the same angles MUST be similar!

marta [7]

Answer:

8/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two pies, and each one was cut into fourths. There are four fourths in a whole, and since there are two wholes, there are two four fourths (I don't know if this makes sense).

Basically, multiply how many fourths (four per pie) by how many pies there are.

4 x 2 = 8

There are 8 pieces.
