At higher elevations water boils at lower temperatures. The temperature at which water boils is called the boiling point of wate

r. At sea level the boiling point of water is 100oC, while at 2 kilometers of elevation (about 6550 feet) the boiling point of water is 94oC. The function that gives the boiling point of water in oC, B
B
, at an elevation of x
x
kilometers is B(x)=100−3.5x
B(x)=100-3.5x
.

Determine the elevations at which the boiling point of water is between 84 oC and 96 oC. Give your answer accurate to 1 decimal place.

B(x) = 100 - 3.5x
84 = 100 - 3.5x
3.5x = 100 - 84 = 16
x = 16/3.5 = 4.6 kilometers

96 = 100 - 3.5x
3.5x = 100 - 96 = 4
x = 4/3.5 = 1.1 kilometers

Therefore, the boiling point of water is between 84°C and 96°C at elevations of between 4.6 kilometers and 1.1 kilometers.

Which description compares the vertical asymptote(s) of Function A and Function B correctly?
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Function A:  f(x)=\frac{1}{x}+4.  Vertical asymptotes are in the form x=, and they are a vertical line that the function approaches but never hits.  They can be easily found by looking for values of <em>x</em> that can not be graphed.  In this case, <em>x</em> cannot equal 0, as we cannot divide by 0.  Therefore <em>x</em>=0 is a vertical asymptote for this function.  The horizontal asymptote is in the form <em>y</em>=, and is a horizontal line that the function approaches but never hits.  It can be found by finding the limit of the function.  In this case, as <em>x</em> increases, 1/<em>x</em> gets closer and closer to 0.  As that part of the function gets closer to 0, the overall function gets closer to 0+4 or 4.  Thus y=4 would be the horizontal asymptote for function A.
Function B:  From the graph we can see that the function approaches the line x=2 but never hits.  This is the vertical asymptote.  We can also see from the graph that the function approaches the line x=1 but never hits.  This is the horizontal asymptote.

Ms. Vega read 20% of the Star Wars book. She read 8 pages of the book.
never [62]

Answer: 40 pages in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Vega has read 20% of the book and this translates to 8 pages of the book.

20% = 8 pages

Assume the total number of pages is x:

20% * x = 8

0.2x = 8

x = 8 / 0.2

x = 40 pages in total

Based on the shape of the graph above, describe one or more functions you can think of to model the data. (Hint: Think of the gr
Valentin [98]

Answer:

  A polynomial together with the absolute value function can make a pretty good model (see the attachment)

Step-by-step explanation:

With a sufficient number of specified points, a polynomial can make a pretty good model of almost any smooth function. Here, the function's derivative is undefined at a couple of points, so there are some options for those. If the slopes match on either side of those zeros, then the absolute value function can be used to model the "reflection" at the x-axis. Otherwise, a piecewise description can be used.

The left portion of the curve looks a little like a sine wave, but a cubic or other polynomial can model that wave fairly well. The portion to the right of the maximum looks like a bouncing ball, so can be modeled by a piecewise quadratic function.

_____

<em>Comment on the graph</em>

The attached graph is of a 9th-degree polynomial model. Points were added until the model almost matched the curve. If additional points are defined, a higher-degree model may give a better fit. The "bounce" is modeled by the absolute value function.
