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.

On average, 75% of the days in Henderson county are sunny, with little or no cloud cover. Describe a model that you could use to
user100 [1]
<span>One <u>possible model</u><span> is:

You could place 3 red marble and 1 blue marble in a bag. The probability of drawing a red marble would be 3/4, which is 75%; this means red marbles would be sunny days and blue marbles would be cloudy days.

Each draw out of the bag would represent one day of the week. Draw a marble 7 times, replacing it after each draw. This would represent the weather for the days of the week.</span></span>
