Answer:

13064 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite the formula so that x is in feet. Equating the new formula to 8.743 PSI, we have ...

8.743 = 14.7e^(-0.21x/5280)

Dividing by 14.7 and taking natural logs, we have ...

ln(8.743/14.7) = -0.21x/5280

Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x gives ...

x = 5280·ln(8.743/14.7)/-0.21 ≈ 13064.0806

The peak of the mountain is about 13,064 feet high.

Answer:

Answered

Step-by-step explanation:

Online courses are those classes which are delivered entirely online. Students study via web cam, chat rooms and smart boards. Whereas hybrid learning is a combination of both online learning and traditional in class learning. Remote work is working away from the work place at your own comfort and choice of location.

Use Cramer Rule to solve the following system: 8x−5y=70 and 9x+7y=3

nlexa [21]

Answer:

$(x,y) = (5,-6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\underline{\textbf{Determinant of a matrix.}}\\\\\text{For a}~ 2 \times 2 ~ \text{matrix,}\\\\\begin{vmatrix} a_1&a_2\\b_1&b_2 \end{vmatrix} = a_1b_2 - a_2b_1\\\\\\\text{For a}~ 3 \times 3 ~ \text{matrix,}\\\\\begin{vmatrix} a_1&a_2&a_3\\ b_1&b_2&b_3\\ c_1&c_2&c_3 \end{vmatrix} = a_1\begin{vmatrix} b_2&b_3\\c_2&c_3 \end{vmatrix} - a_2 \begin{vmatrix} b_1&b_3\\c_1&c_3 \end{vmatrix}+ a_3 \begin{vmatrix} b_1&b_2\\c_1&c_2 \end{vmatrix}\\\\\\$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=a_1(b_2c_3-b_3c_2) -a_2(b_1c_3-b_3c_1) +a_3(b_1c_2-b_2c_1)$

$\underline{\textbf{Cramer's Rule to solve a system of two equations.}}\\\\\text{Consider the system of two equations:}\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~a_1x + b_1 y= c_1\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~a_2x +b_2 y = c_2\\\\\text{Here,}\\\\x = \dfrac{D_x}{D}= \dfrac{\begin{vmatrix} c_1&b_1\\c_2&b_2 \end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix} a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2 \end{vmatrix}}\\\\\\ y= \dfrac{D_y}{D}= \dfrac{\begin{vmatrix} a_1&c_1\\a_2&c_2 \end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix} a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2 \end{vmatrix}}\\\\$

$\underline{\textbf{Solution:}}\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~8x-5y = 70~~~~~~...(i)\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~9x +7y = 3~~~~~~~...(ii)\\\\\text{Applying Cramer's rule:}\\\\x = \dfrac{D_x}{D}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix} 70& -5 \\3&7 \end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix} 8& -5\\ 9& 7\end{vmatrix}}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{70(7) -(-5)(3)}{(8)(7)-(-5)(9)}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{490+15}{56+45}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{505}{101}\\\\\\~~=5$

$y = \dfrac{D_y}{D}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{\begin{vmatrix} 8& 70 \\9&3 \end{vmatrix}}{\begin{vmatrix} 8& -5\\ 9& 7\end{vmatrix}}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{(8)(3) -(70)(9)}{(8)(7)-(-5)(9)}\\\\\\~~=\dfrac{24-630}{56+45}\\\\\\~~=-\dfrac{606}{101}\\\\\\~~=-6$
