Answer:

<em>The freezing point of water increases by 0.0001 degrees Fahrenheit when the altitude increases by 1 foot.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The model for the freezing point of water T at altitude a is:

T(a)= 0.0001a+32

The slope of this equation is the coefficient of the variable a. Since the slope is positive, it means the freezing point of water increases by 0.0001 degrees Fahrenheit when the altitude increases by 1 foot.

For example, when a=1000, the freezing point is:

T(1000)= 0.0001*1000+32 = 32.1°F

When a=1001, the freezing point is:

T(1001)= 0.0001*1001+32 = 32.1001°F

Note the increase of 1 foot in altitued meant an increase of 32.1001-32.1 = 0.0001°F

Use common factors to write two fractions equivalent to 80/140
9966 [12]

Answer:

80/140 = (80:20)/(140:20) = 4/7

4/7 = (4*4)/(7*4) = 16/28

4/7 = (4*5)/(7*5) = 20/35 not 20/28 not 20/32

4/7 = (4*5.5)/(7*5.5) = 22/38.5 not 22/37

4x - 3(x + 5) > 7 - 4(x + 6)  |use distributive property; a(b + c) = ab + ac

4x - 3x - 15 > 7 - 4x - 24  |combine items

x - 15 > -4x - 17    |add 15 to both sides

x > -4x - 2    |add 4x to both sides

5x > -2    |divide both sides by 5

x > - 2/5

What is the volume of the cylinder below?
Svetlanka [38]

now, let's recall Cavalieri's Principle, "solids with equal altitudes and cross-sectional areas at each height, have the same volume".

so, even though this cylinder is slanted, it has the same cross-sectional area as a cylinder that's straight-up, whose altitude is h = 5, and radius r = 4.


\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\ V=\pi r^2 h~~ \begin{cases} h=5\\ r=4 \end{cases}\implies V=\pi (4)^2(5)\implies V=80\pi
