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 88 oC. Give your answer accurate to 1 decimal place.

Answer:

  The boiling point of water is between 84 °C and 88 °C when the elevation is between 3.4 and 4.6 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want x such that ...

  84 ≤ B(x) ≤ 88

  84 ≤ 100 -3.5x ≤ 88 . . . . substitute for B(x)

  -16 ≤ -3.5x ≤ -12 . . . . . . . .subtract 100

  4.6 ≥ x ≥ 3.4 . . . . . . . . . . .divide by -3.5; this reverses the inequality

Patty is 50 mi. due north of Todd. Emma is due east of Todd. Ifa line were drawn from Emma
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Correct choice is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider right triangle PTE (Patty, Todd, Emma). In thistriangle PT=50 mi - the distanse between Patty and Todd, the distance between Patty and Emma PE and the distance between Emma and Todd ET are unknown. The angle PET has the measure of 40°. Then

  • \sin 40^{\circ}=\dfrac{PT}{PE}\Rightarrow PE=\dfrac{PT}{\sin 40^{\circ}}=\dfrac{50}{\sin 40^{\circ}}\approx 78\ mi.
  • \tan 40^{\circ}=\dfrac{PT}{ET}\Rightarrow ET=\dfrac{PT}{\tan 40^{\circ}}=\dfrac{50}{\tan 40^{\circ}}\approx 60\ mi.

Y - 0.8x = 0.5
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

y=\frac{5+8x}{10} , x=x

Step-by-step explanation:

y-0.8x=0.5

y*10-0.8x*10=0.5*10

10y-8x=5

10y-8x+8x=5+8x

10y/10=5/10+8x/10

y=5+8x/10

5*5+8x/10-2.5

8x+5/2-2.5=4x

y=5+8x/10, x=x

Archie has a bag of grass seed that he will use to cover a new field. The bag contains information about the area of the ground
gladu [14]

25:1 is the constant of proportionality between the number of square yards of grouse to be covered and the number of scoops of grass seed needed.

This was found by reducing the any of the 4 provided proportions, each would end up leading you to 25/1
