If the atmospheric pressure at Mangamaunu Beach is 1000 millibars and we assume the general guideline that atmospheric pressure

decreases by approximately 50% for every 5-kilometer increase in altitude, what will the atmospheric pressure be at the summit of Manakau?

Answer:

Atmospheric Pressure = 739.2 millibars

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question one should assume that Mangamaunu Beach is at sea level ( altitude = 0 m) and that the summit of Manakau is at 2608 meters.

The change in atmospheric pressure with altitude in the first 5 km can be roughly represented by a linear relationship with slope "m" as follows

(500-1000) = m(5000 - 0)\\m = -0.10

Giving the following equation:

(Pressure - 1000) = -0.10Height

Applying for Height = 2608 m

Pressure = -0.10(2608) + 1000\\Pressure = 739.2 millibars

What function is vertically stretched by a factor of 3 and translated 4 units right from the parent function
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:

B) 3log</span>₅<span>(x-4).

Explanation<span>:

To stretch a function by a factor of 3, we multiply the function by 3. This eliminates A and D.

To translate a function 4 units right, we add -4 to the variable before anything else is applied to it; this eliminates C.

In choice B, the log function is multiplied by 3, which gives us our vertical stretch; and the x is subtracted by 4 before anything else is applied to it, so it is translated 4 units right.</span></span>

It will be as cold as -12 degrees Fahrenheit
(That’s pretty cold....)
That’s because 5 - 17= -12
Hope this helps :)
