Answers:
1) The dependent variable is the boiling point of water and the independent variable is the altitude.
2) The slope would represent the average decrease of the boiling point of water per every one thousand feet that the altitude increase.
Explanation:
1) given
Table:
<span>Altitude
(in thousands of feet) Boiling Point of Water (Fahrenheit)
(sea level) 0
212
0.5 211.1
1.0 210
2.0 208.4
2.5 207.5
3.0 206.6
4.0 204.8
4.5 203.9
2) The independent variable is the input of the function, and the dependent variable is the output of the function.
The input determines the output once the rule is established.
Therefore:
a) the independent variable is the altitude, and
b) the dependent variable is the boiling point of water in Farenheit.
3) The slope of the graph would be:
change in the dependent variable change in boiling point
slope = --------------------------------------------------- = ---------------------------------
</span> change in the independent variable change in altitude
Therefore, the slope represents the average change in the boiling boilin point of water every one thousand feet on change of altitude.
If the relationship is not linear, then the slope is not constant, and you will have different slopes for different parts.
If the slope is negative, means that as the altitude increase the boiling point of water decrease.
You can calculate the slope using any two pair of points (data)
212 - 210 2
slope =---------------- = ------- = - 2
0 - 1 - 1
or, using other pair of points:
204.8 - 210 -5.2
slope = --------------------- = --------- = -2.6
4.0 - 2.0 2.0
As you see, the slope is not constant. So, the function is not linear.
Answer: Yes these triangles are similar
Step-by-step explanation:
First lets write down what we know just to make life easier
x=9
TL should be similar to CH
LY should be similar to KH
The angles should be equal due to SAS
So the first thing we know is true is the fact that they have equal angles. Now we have to find out if the sides are similar or if they change by the same ratio to the other. If TL is similar to CH and TL=25 and CH=10 what is the change in size or dilation. Division should do the trick so 25/10=2.5 so TY is greater than CH by a factor of 10. Which means that LY should also be greater than KH by a factor of 2.5. If we are told that x=9 than side LY or 4(9)-1=35 and KH 9+5=14
So side KH is 14 and LY is 35. Now to check if they are similar then KH should be greater by a factor of 2.5. If this is not true than the sides are not similar. 35/2.5=14
Since 35 divided by 2.5 is 14 we can tell both sides TL and LY are greater than KH and CH by a factor of 2.5
Hope this helps.
