Answer:

its 450 k

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the temperature of the gaseous planet is linearly related with height of the atmosphere. we can write this in the mathematical equation:

y = m x +c

where y is the temperature values, x is height, m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. we have been given two sets of value in the image, using which we can find the value of slope in y-intercept.

at x = 18.40 km, y = 147.54 K

⇒147.54 = 18.40 m + c      

⇒c = 147.54 - 18.40 m  ..(1)

at x =78.11 km, y = 567.00 K

⇒567.00 =78.11 m + c       ..(2)

Put equation 1 in 2 and solve:

⇒567.00 =78.11 m + 147.54 - 18.40 m

⇒419.46 = 59.71 m

⇒ m =419.46 ÷59.71 = 7.025 K/km

c = 147.54 - 18.40 × 7.025 = 18.28 K

At height, x = 61.5 km the approximate temperature is :

y = 7.025 K/km ×  61.5 km + 18.28 K = 450.3 K

Thus, the approximate temperature at altitude 61.5 km is 450 K.

A school basketball team has an expense account and a fundraising account. After t
RoseWind [281]

1) the  expression that gathers the  expenses and the  income is the utility function and is defined by U(t) = I(t)-G(t), where I(t) is income and G(t)  is expenses, the simplest form that represents the total amount of the balance of the expense account is,  for this exercise I(t) = 275+48t and G(t) = 450-70t 

PART A

U(t)= 275+48t-(450-70t) ⇒U(t) = 275+48 t-450+70t⇒U(t) = 118t -175

PART B


For f(t) = (275+48t)  the total amount (in dollars)  after 9 weeks?

it is f(9) = [(450 - 70(9)]=   $220

for f(t) =275 +48t ,the total amount in dollars after 9 weeks is   f(9) = 275+48(9) = $ 707

Maria,Adam and Tom have formed a partnership. The total investment was $400000. Maria owns 35.4% and Adam owns 28.8% of the part
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Tom invested 35.8% of$400000 = $143,200

Step-by-step explanation:


100%-35.4%-28.8%= 35.8%

Multiply 35.8 % (0.358) x $400,000 = $143,200.

Check work:

400,000 x 35.4% = $141,600

400,000x 28.8% = $115,200

Add all of the totals together:

141,600 + 115,200 + 143,200 = $400,000

Math Question.......
Temka [501]

Answer:

m∠6 = 42°     m∠7 = 138

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the measure of angle 4, using the rule of verticle opposites, this means that the opposites are the same. so 4 = 2, and 6 = 8, and 1 = 3, and 5 = 7.

And since there is also the rule of same side correspondence, this means 4 = 8, and 6 = 2.

This means that since 4 = 42°, and 4 = 2, and 2 = 6, then m∠6 = 42°

and since 7 is opposite of 6 on a straight line, you can subtract 42 from 180 degrees to get the degree of 7.

180 - 42 = 138

so m∠7 = 138°

What should be the first step to solve the equation?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to get rid of the parenthesis to make the problem easier for you to work with. Since there is a number in front of the parenthesis, you will need to distribute that to both numbers in the parenthesis.

For this example, you would multiply the 9 to both the x and -1, and then 8 to both 2x and 2.
