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.

I don't think that you put parentheses around any numbers because when I solve it with parentheses between numbers I get other numbers like 16 or 17

An experiment consists of rolling a number cube (dice). What is the probability of rolling a number GREATER THAN 4? Express your
MrMuchimi

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur

Probability = Expected/Total outcome

Since the experiment requires rolling a dice

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Total outcome n(S) = 6

Number greater than 4 are;

Events E = {5,6}

Expected outcome n(E) = 2

Probability of rolling a number greater then 4 = 2/6

Probability of rolling a number greater then 4 = 1/3

What is the perimeter of the trapezoid with vertices Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16), and T(22, 8)? Round to the nearest hundredth
EleoNora [17]
Check the picture below.

so... you can pretty much see how long RS and QT are, you can just count the units off the grid.

now, let's find QR's length

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&Q&(~ 8 &,& 8~) 
%  (c,d)
&R&(~ 14 &,& 16~)
\end{array}~~ 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
QR=\sqrt{(14-8)^2+(16-8)^2}\implies QR=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}
\\\\\\
QR=\sqrt{36+64}\implies QR=\sqrt{100}\implies QR=10

and let's also find the length for ST

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&S&(~ 20 &,& 16~) 
%  (c,d)
&T&(~ 22 &,& 8~)
\end{array}~ 
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
ST=\sqrt{(22-20)^2+(8-16)^2}\implies ST=\sqrt{2^2+(-8)^2}
\\\\\\
ST=\sqrt{4+64}\implies ST=\sqrt{68}\implies ST=\sqrt{4\cdot 17}
\\\\\\
ST=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 17}\implies ST=2\sqrt{17}

so, add the lengths of all sides, and that's the perimeter of the trapezoid.

IM 20 MIN AWAY FROM FAILING PLZZZ HELPPPP​
padilas [110]

Answer:

13 and 32

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be x

Then the other number is x + 19 , then

x + x + 19 = 45

2x + 19 = 45 ( subtract 19 from both sides )

2x = 26 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 13

The 2 numbers are 13 and 13 + 19 = 32
