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.

5. 15 yards = 13.716 meters, so 13.716 meters
6. 32.366 meters per second
7. 32÷2=16 and 16×60= 960, so it can eat 16 in one minute, and 960 in one hour.
Hope this helps!

Please sketch graph of the function f(x) = |x+2|.
Burka [1]

Answer:

The absolute value can be graphed using the points around the vertex (-2, 0), (-4, 2), (-3, 1), (-1, 1), (0, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The find the x coordinate of the vertex, set the inside of the absolute value x + 2 equal to 0. In this case, x + 2 = 0.

x + 2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

x = -2

Replace the variable x with -2 in the expression.

y = |(-2) + 2|

The absolute value vertex is (-2, 0).

The domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.

For each x value, there is on y value. Select few z values from the domain. It would be more useful to select the values so that they are around the x value of the absolute value vertex.

Substitute the x value -4 into f(x) = |x+2|. In this case, the point is (-4,2).

y=2

Substitute the x value -3 into f(x) = |x+2|. In this case, the point is (-3,1).

y=1

Substitute the x value 0 into f(x) = |x+2|. In this case, the point is (0,2).

y=2

You can find the graph in the attachment.

ahrayia [7]
If one shirt equals to $21.46, and you need to purchase 4 shirts to get the free pair of jeans, you multiply 4 by 21.46 and get 85.84. But if there is 42 customers taking advantage of the special, then you need to multiply 85.84 by 42, and you get 3,605.28.
