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

A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Answer:

\{ {{20x+30y=280} \atop {y=4x}} .{

y=4x

20x+30y=280

.

Where xx is the number of small boxes sent and yy is the number of large boxes sent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be xx the number of small boxes sent and yy the number of large boxes sent.

Since each small box can hold 20 books (20x20x ), each large box can hold 30 books (30y30y )and altogether can hold a total of 280 books, we can write the following equation to represent this:

20x+30y=28020x+30y=280

According to the information provided in the exercise, there were 4 times as many large boxes sent as small boxes. This can be represented with this equation:

y=4xy=4x

Therefore, the system of equation that be used to determine the number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent, is:

\{ {{20x+30y=280} \atop {y=4x}} .{

y=4x

20x+30y=280

.
