A meteorologist sends a signal from a radar station that stands 45 feet off the ground. The signal measures the distance to be 1

Answer:

  3485 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height above the radar station is found using ...

  height = distance × sin(angle)

  height = (4200 ft) × sin(55°) ≈ 3440 ft

Since the radar station is 45 ft above the ground, the height of the clouds will be an additional 45 ft:

  3440 ft + 45 ft = 3485 ft . . . . height of clouds

_____

<em>Comment on units</em>

You need to be a bit careful here because one dimension is given in feet and another in yards. You need to use 1 yard = 3 feet to figure that 1400 yards = 4200 feet. You could convert 45 ft to 15 yards and report the cloud height in yards. That would not be wrong, but it would be unusual.

First picture)
I: 5x+2y=-4
II: -3x+2y=12

add I+(-1*II):
5x+2y-(-3x+2y)=-4-12
8x=-16
x=-2

insert x=-2 into I:
5*(-2)+2y=-4
-10+2y=-4
2y=6
y=3

(-2,3)

question 6)
I: totalcost=115=3*childs+5*adults
II: 33=adults+childs
33-adults=childs

insert childs into I:
115=3*(33-adults)+5*adults
115=99-3*adults+5*adults
16=2*adults
8=adults

insert adults into II:
33-8=childs
25=childs

so it's the last option

question 7)
a) y<6 and y>2 can also be written as 2<y<6, so solution 3 exist for example
b) y>6 and y>2 can also be written as 2<6<y, so solution 7 exist for example
c) y<6 and y<2 inverse of b: y<2<6, so for example 1
d) y>6 and y<2: y<2<6<y, this is impossible as y can be only either bigger or smaller than 2 or 6

so it's the last option

question 8)
I: x+y=12
II: x-y=6

subtract: I-II:
x+y-(x-y)=12-6
2y=6
y=3

insert y into I:
x+3=12
x=9

(9,3)

question 9)
I: x+y=6
II: x=y+5

if you take the x=y+5 definition of II and substitute it into I:
(y+5)+y=6

which is the second option :)

Llana [10]

Answer:

The bottle of orange juice will have higher amounts of vitamin C per serving, as it will have 125 mg against 90 mg of the cranberry juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of vitamin C in each serving of fruit juice, knowing that the bottle of orange juice contains 750 mg of vitamin C and 6 servings, while the bottle of cranberry juice contains 135 mg and 1.5 servings, you must perform the following calculation:

Orange: 750/6

Orange: 125 mg per serving

Cranberry: 135 / 1.5

Cranberry: 90 mg per serving

Thus, the bottle of orange juice will have higher amounts of vitamin C per serving, as it will have 125 mg against 90 mg of the cranberry juice.
