Answer:

$-7\°C$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the height in meters

y ----> the temperature in Celsius degree

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

The slope or unit rate is equal to

$m=-\frac{1}{100}\frac{\°C}{m}$ ---> is negative because is a decreasing function

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

$b=4\°C$ ----> value of y when the value of x is equal to zero (sea level)

substitute

$y=-\frac{1}{100}x+4$

For x=1,100 m

substitute in the linear equation and solve for y

$y=-\frac{1}{100}(1,100)+4$

$y=-7\°C$

◆ Quadratic Equations ◆<br>Please help !

Mila [183]

I'm sure there's an easier way of solving it than the way I did, but I'm not sure what it could be. Never dealt with a problem like this before.

Anyway, I just plugged in and tested. Chose random values for a, b, c, and d, which follow the rule 0 < a < b < c < d:

a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4

$\sf ax^2+(1-a(b+c))x+abc-d)$

$\sf 1x^2+(1-1(2+3))x+(1)(2)(3)-(4))$

Simplify into standard form:

$\sf x^2+(1-1(5))x+6-4$

$\sf x^2+(1-5)x+2$

$\sf x^2-4x+2$

Use the quadratic formula to solve:

$\sf x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

For functions in the form of $\sf ax^2+bx+c$ . So in this case:

a = 1
b = -4
c = 2

Plug them in:

$\sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(2)}}{2(1)}$

Solve for 'x':

$\sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{16-8}}{2}$

$\sf x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{8}}{2}$

$\sf x\approx\dfrac{4\pm 2.83}{2}$

$\sf x\approx 0.59,3.41$

So the answer would be A.

A company manufactirung snowboards has fixed costs of $200 per day and total cost of $3800 per day at a daily output of 20 board

polet [3.4K]

A. The cost per 20 boards is 3800. so each board costs 3800/20 or $190. So the cost equation is C(x) = 200 + 190x

B. Divide the cost function by x. C(x)/x = 200/x + 190

C. The graph will be a curve that starts at (1,390) and curves down and to the right. Your last point will be at (30, 200/30+190) Your asymptote will be the horizontal line at 190 because as x tends to infinity, the term 200/x goes to zero. (There is also a vertical asymptote at x = 0 because you can't divide by zero, but your graph won't include x=0)

D. The average cost tends to 190 which was your horizontal asymptote.

Y=1/4x interpret the slope

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

well you start at origin 0 because there is no y-intercept so you would do rise over run up 1 over 4, 1/4 is your slope
