\bf \stackrel{\textit{cubic feet of air}}{\stackrel{\textit{dependent}}{a(t)}}\qquad \stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{time in minutes}}{independent}}{t}~\hspace{7em}a(t)=6000t


the "t" variable is independent, namely it can change values "freely", and a(t) is dependent, because it depends on those values on "t" to get its own value.

if we make a table of values for minutes, we know the balloon is inflating at 6000 ft³ each passing minute.

1 minute......................... 6000(1) ft³

2 minutes......................6000(2) ft³

3 minutes......................6000(3) ft³

4 minutes......................6000(4) ft³

t minutes......................6000(t) ft³


before getting in the domain and range, let's find out how much air after 6 minutes.

a(6) = 6000(6)

a(6) = 36000 ft³.


now, what domain, namely values for "t" make sense?

well, we know the balloon can only hold up to 90000 ft³, and on every passing minute is filling up by 6000 ft³, after how many minutes will it be filled up?

90000/6000 = 15, after 15 minutes.

so at 0 minutes, t = 0, the balloon is empty, and 15 minutes later, t = 15, the balloon is filled up, [ 0 , 15 ].


what values for the range, namely a(t), makes sense?

well, we know when the balloon is empty is holding 0 ft³, and when is full it has 90000 ft³, [0 , 90000].

love history [14]

Martin will have to mark 0.125 on the

Let the original weight of the scale be 1kg. Hence we can say the original mark for 1kg weight is 1 that is:

1kg = 1 ................ 1

Since we are to calculate where to mark for a 1/8 kg weight, we can write;

1/8 kg = x  ..................2

Divide both expressions

\frac{1}{1/8}= \frac{1}{x}\\\\Cross \ multiply\\8= \frac{1}{x} \\x =  \frac{1}{8}

This means Martin will have to mark 0.125 on the scale.

When the sun is at 31 above the horizon, a tree casts a 42 ft. shadow. how tall is the tree?
Fantom [35]
Answer: 25.2361459992ft

This question can be solved by a trigonometric equation. Shadow formed when something with height like a tree, so it can be pictured as a vertical line. Shadow is a length of and can be pictured as a horizontal line.  
In trigonometric, to find the vertical line length with horizontal line you need tan function. The sun angle will be used in the function, so the calculation would be: tan(31) x 42ft = 25.2361459992ft

Explain how probability can be used to help a sales person forecast future sales.
Naily [24]

Answer with explanation:

A salesperson can use probability to get an idea of his business as using probability he can estimate his sale of the next month as well, based on the present and previous months sales.

It can help him sort issues or errors he is facing in his business as he will get a complete idea of his business using probability.

Moreover, he can forecast future sales by using a technique which involves assigning percentages or weighting benchmarks in sales cycle, so that he can estimate the expected revenue generated.

For example:

A supermarket sales person can assign probabilities to benchmarks in sale cycle as providing needs analysis (25 % probability), adding new product (50%Probability) , Remove a product ( 75 % probability), closing sale (100% Probability) . If these probabilities are large, then forecast model can be objective.

_____________________________________________________

So just like that by assigning probabilities to benchmarks, a sales person can forecast future sales
