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.

Write an equation with the solution x=25.The equation should have the variable on both sides,a decimal coefficient on the left s

Stella [2.4K]

X=25 and u would add 5x to both sides 6x=25+5x then u would multiply both sides by 0.25 making it 1.5x=6.25+1.25x

1. Consider f(x) = 3x - 5

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the function

$f(x)=3x-5$

We want to find the following ratio:

$\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

Note that the limit of this for $h\rightarrow 0$ is equivalent to the derivative of the function.

Here we have:

$f(x+h)=3(x+h)-5=3x+3h-5$

And

$f(x)=3x-5$

Therefore we have

$f(x+h)-f(x)=3x+3h-5-(3x-5)=3h$

And therefore,

$\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{3h}{h}=3$

Llana [10]

Answer:

Fractional form of 0.8034 $=\frac{4017}{5000}$

Since 4017 and 5000 are whole numbers this fraction is rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have $0.8034=\frac{8034}{10000} =\frac{4017}{5000}$

Fractional form of 0.8034 $=\frac{4017}{5000}$

Since 4017 and 5000 are whole numbers this fraction is rational.
