The relationship between altitude and the boiling point of a liquid is linear. At an altitude of 8100 ft, the liquid boils at 20

1.28°F. At an altitude of 4300 ft, the liquid boils at 205.84°F. Write an equation giving the boiling point b of the​ liquid, in degrees​ Fahrenheit, in terms of altitude​ a, in feet. What is the boiling point of the liquid at 2200 ft?

Answer:

  b = -0.0012a +211

  208.36 °F at 2200 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points:

  (a, b) = (8100, 201.28) and (4300, 205.84)

The slope of the desired line can be found using the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (205.84 -201.28)/(4300 -8100) = 4.56/-3800 = -0.0012

The "y-intercept" of the function can be found from ...

  y-intercept = b -ma

  y-intercept = 201.28 -(-0.0012)(8100) = 211.00

So, the function of interest is ...

  b = -0.0012a +211

__

At 2200 ft, the boiling point is ...

  b = -0.0012×2200 +211 = -2.64 +211 = 208.36

The boiling point of the liquid at 2200 ft is 208.36 °F.

What is the value of w?
sergeinik [125]

Answer:  Most likely, the value of w is 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation: P = 2L + 2w

If the perimeter is 28, the side lengths must be less than 14, otherwise there is no width, just two lines on top of one another.

If the width is 7, then all four sides would be 7 units, and <u>that would create a square</u>-- which is a type of rectangle-- but probably not what this question is about.

A width of 5 units makes sense, 2w would be 10, leaving 28-10 = 18 to be divided by 2 for lengths of 9

The rectangle would have a width of 5 units and a length of 9 units.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3x can be simplied to -2x and 3-9 can be simplied to -6

-2x+4=-6

Substract 4 from both sides

-2x=-10

Divide both sides by -2

x=5
