Below is a list of city elevations.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nezavi [6.7K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Oxford, MS, has the highest elevation.

Death Valley, CA, has the lowest elevation.

The elevation of New Orleans, LA, is at sea level.

The elevation of Death Valley, CA, is the furthest from sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the elevations of few cities as follows:

Elevation of Oxford, MS = 178 feet

Elevation of Death Valley, CA  = -282 feet

Elevation of New Orleans, LA  = 0 feet

Elevation of Palm Beach, FL  = 13 feet

To find:

The true statement of the following:

Oxford, MS, has the highest elevation.

Death Valley, CA, has the lowest elevation.

West Palm Beach, FL, has the lowest elevation.

The elevation of Death Valley, CA, is at sea level.

The elevation of New Orleans, LA, is at sea level.

The elevation of Death Valley, CA, is the furthest from sea level.

The elevation of New Orleans, LA, is the furthest from sea level.

Solution:

First of all, let us put the given elevations in ascending order.

Smallest value is -282 feet, then 0 feet, then 13 feet and then 178 feet.

-282 < 0 < 13 < 178 feet

i.e.

Elevation of Death Valley < Elevation of New Orleans < Elevation of West Palm Beach < Elevation of Oxford

Elevation of 0 feet means that it is at the sea level i.e. New Orleans is at sea level.

Largest value is 178 i.e. the highest elevation is of Oxford.

Minimum value is -282 i.e. the lowest elevation is of Death Valley.

Death valley is furthest from sea level at a distance of 282 feet.

Therefore, the answer is:

Oxford, MS, has the highest elevation.

Death Valley, CA, has the lowest elevation.

The elevation of New Orleans, LA, is at sea level.

The elevation of Death Valley, CA, is the furthest from sea level.

Find the HCF of 126 and 420
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the prime factorization of 126

126 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 7

Find the prime factorization of 420

420 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 7

To find the GCF, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, GCF = 2 × 3 × 7

GCF = 42

Can someone please explain?

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is the first option:  

y=-4x+64

<h2>Why?</h2>

To write the equation of the line in slope-interception  form we need to extract all the information that we need from the graphic.

We must remember that the slope-interception form of the lines is:

y=mx+b

Where,

y, is the function

m, is the slope of the line

x, is the variable

b, is the y-axis intercept

We can find the slope using the following formula:

m=\frac{ChangeInY}{ChangeInX}

Which is for this case:

m=\frac{64}{16}=4

As we can see from the graphic, the line is decresing, so the sign of the slope "m" will be negative, so:

m=-4

We can find the value of "b" seeing where the line intercepts the y-axis.

As we can see it intercept the y-axis at:  y=64

Then, now that we already know the value of "m" and "b", we can write the equation of the line:

y=mx+b=-4x+64\\y=-4x+64

So, the correct option is the first option:

y=-4x+64

Have a nice day!

What is the solution to y=2/5x-3 and x=-10
Vanyuwa [196]

y is -2/53

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given equation is y = 2/5x-3 and x = -10. Substitute value of x to find the solution.

⇒ y = 2/(5 × -10 - 3) = 2/-53 = -2/53

Miki has 104 nickels and 88 dimes. She wants to divide her coins into groups where each group has the same number of nickels and
pochemuha

Given :

Miki has 104 nickels and 88 dimes.

She wants to divide her coins into groups where each group has the same number of nickels and the same number of dimes.

To Find :

Largest number of groups she can have .

Solution :

In the given question we need to find the largest number of groups she can have i.e we have to find the LCM of 104 and 88 .

Now , factorizing both of them , we get :

104=1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 13

88=1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 11

Form above , we can say that common factors are :

HCF=2\times 2\times 2=8

Therefore , the largest number of groups she can have is 8 .

Hence , this is the required solution .
