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%

Which ordered pair is included in the solution set to the following system?
Nataliya [291]

The ordered pair is included in the solution set to the following system is (0,2)

<h3>Set of inequalities</h3>

Given the set of inequalities

y > x2 + 1

y < x2 – x + 1

Equate both expressions to have:

x^2 + 1 = x^2 - x +1

1 = -x + 1

x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into any of the function

y = x^2 + 1

y = 1

This shows that the ordered pair is included in the solution set to the following system is (0,2)

Write the equation of an ellipse with a major axis of length 8 and co-vertices (0,3) and (0,-3)
alexandr1967 [171]
If the co-vertices are (0, 3) and (0, -3) where x is 0 and y has a value, then y is the minor axis.  That means that the x axis is the major axis.  Because of what the co-vertices are, the center of the ellipse is at the origin.  The formula for an ellipse that has a horizontal major axis is \frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+ \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1.  The a value will always be larger than the b value, therefore, the a value goes under the coordinate that is the major axis.  Here, its the x-axis.  a is the distance that the outer edge of the ellipse is from the center.  It's 8 units away from the center along the x axis and 3 units along the y axis from the center.  So a = 8 and a^2 = 64; b = 3 and b^2 = 9.  Our formula then is \frac{x^2}{64}+ \frac{y^2}{9}=1

L.C.M of x2 + 3x + 2 and x2 + 4x + 3
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x + 2 = (x+1)(x+2)

x^2 + 4x + 3 = (x+1)(x+3)

LCM = (x+1)(x+2)(x+3) = (x^2 + 3x + 2) (x+3) = x^3 + 6x^2 + 11x + 6

Use the square root property of equality to solve (x  – 3)2 = –4. The solutions are a. -1 or 7 b. 1 or 5 c. 3+- 2i d. 3+-4i
makkiz [27]
The answer is C. 3+-2i

(x-3)(x-3)^{2} = -4&#10;&#10; \sqrt{(x-3)^2} = +- \sqrt{-4&#10;&#10;x - 3 = i \sqrt{4} &#10;&#10;x - 3 = +-2i&#10;&#10;x = 3 +-2i
