Answer:

373.8mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

a =height (in km) above sea level,

the pressure P(a) (in mmHg) is approximated given as

P(a) = 760e–0.13a .

To determine the atmospheric pressure at 5.458 km, then we will input into the equation

P(5.458km) = 760e–0.13a .

= 760e^(-0.13×5.458)

=760e^-(0.70954)

= 760×0.4919

=373.8mmHg

Therefore, the atmospheric pressure at 5.458 km is 373.8mmHg

Find parametric equations for the path of a particle that moves along the circle x2 + (y − 1)2 = 16 in the manner described. (En
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) x = 4\cdot \cos t, y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t, b) x = 4\cdot \cos t, y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t, c) x = 4\cdot \cos \left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}  \right), y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin \left(t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right).

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the circle is:

x^{2} + (y-1)^{2} = 16

After some algebraic and trigonometric handling:

\frac{x^{2}}{16} + \frac{(y-1)^{2}}{16} = 1

\frac{x^{2}}{16} + \frac{(y-1)^{2}}{16} = \cos^{2} t + \sin^{2} t

Where:

\frac{x}{4} = \cos t

\frac{y-1}{4} = \sin t

Finally,

x = 4\cdot \cos t

y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t

a) x = 4\cdot \cos t, y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t.

b) x = 4\cdot \cos t, y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t.

c) x = 4\cdot \cos t'', y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t''

Where:

4\cdot \cos t' = 0

1 + 4\cdot \sin t' = 5

The solution is t' = \frac{\pi}{2}

The parametric equations are:

x = 4\cdot \cos \left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}  \right)

y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin \left(t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)

Can someone help me understand this?
ASHA 777 [7]

< means 'less than'. 3.5 is less than 4.5, so A is correct. Since -4.5 is NEGATIVE it is less than 0. As for C, since both numbers are negative, it would be the seemingly 'smaller' number that is actually bigger. It may help to think of the numbers on a number line. In the negatives, the numbers start to go in reverse, so the further from 0 a negative number is, the smaller it is. -4.5 IS LESS than -3.5. All answers are correct.

you must attend a minimum of 85% of the practices in order to play in the playoffs you have made 37 of the 42 practices will you
Deffense [45]
Yes, you'd be able to play.
37/42 = .88 = 88%
So you've attended more than 85% of the practices.
