mr. whittaker’s science class uses tide gauges to measure annual variations in water levels at different parts of a river, and then compares those variations to the average annual trend. matea recorded that the water level in one part of the river fell 1.05 millimeters per year for 2.48 years. this data will be compared to the average annual trend, which shows the water level rising 1.8 mm/year.
1) Which number represents the rate at which the water level fell?
a. -1.05 mm/year
b. -1.8 mm/year
c. -2.48 years
d. -2.48 mm/year
2) Which number should the rate be multiplied by to find the total variation in water level?
a. 1.05 mm/year
b. 1.8 mm/year
c. 2.48 years
d. 2.48 mm/year
Answer:
1) Which number represents the rate at which the water level fell?
a. -1.05 mm/year
2) Which number should the rate be multiplied by to find the total variation in water level?
c. 2.48 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Variation in the water level is calculated by multiplying the rate at which the water level and number or years at which the rate of the water level fell
From the question, we can see that the rate at which the water level fell is -1.05 mm/year and number of years at which the water level fell is 2.48mm
Hence,Total Variation in the water level is calculated as
-1.05 mm/year × 2.48 years
Total variation in the water level = -2.604mm
A two digit number has a tens digit and a ones digit.
Let's say x = tens digit and y = ones digit
"The sum of the digits is 5"
x + y = 5
The next phrase is "the number multiplied by 3 is 42" but we need to represent the number using the digits. So they need to be multiplied first by their place value and added together. [Example: 34 = 3(10) + 4(1)]
The number is: 10x + y
3(10x + y) = 42
The system of equations: (two equations for two unknowns)
x + y = 5
30x + 3y = 42
Then you can use substitution or elimination to combine and solve.
I'll use elimination, multiply the entire top equation by -3 and add the equations together. y will cancel out
-3x - 3y = -15
30x + 3y = 42
------------------
27x + 0 = 27
x = 1
then plug x = 1 into either equation to find y
1 + y = 5
y = 4
remember the x and y represent digits so the number xy is 14
Y=3x has a positive slope, and Y=-3x has a negative slope.
