The hiking club is taking another trip. The hike leader's watch shows that they gained 296 feet in altitude from their starting

position. Their altitude is now 285 feet, but there is no record of their starting altitude. Write and solve an equation to represent this situation and find their starting altitude.

Answer:

The required equation is x+295=285 , where x= starting altitude( in feet).

The starting altitude is -11 feet.

Let x be the starting altitude( in feet) .

Given: The Hiking Club is taking another trip. The hike leader's watch shows that they gained 296 feet in altitude from their starting position.

Then, the altitude is now = x+ 296

Since their altitude is now 285 feet.

So the required equation is x+296=285

Subtract 296 from both sides, we get

x= -11

Answer:

x= -11

Step-by-step explanation:

the altitude is now = x+ 296

Their altitude is now 285 feet.

So the required equation is x+296=285

Subtract 296 from both sides, we get

x= -11

Two points A and B on a plan represent two localities 12 m apart. Given that the segment AB is 6cn long, find the scale used to
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The scale is 1:200

Step-by-step explanation:

On the plan we have the drawing as 6 cm

In real representation, we have the distance as 12 m

Firstly we have to convert to same unit

In this case, we use the cm for convenience

Mathematically, 100 cm is 1 m

Thus, 12 m

will be 12 * 100 = 1,200 cm

So, we have the ratio as;

6 cm : 1,200 cm

and that is 1:200 (since 6/1200 = 1/200 and in ratio form, we have that as 1:200)

write the equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through -1, 11 and is parallel to the graph of y = -8x + 3
lawyer [7]
<h2>Answer: The line from the question [ y = -8x + 3 ] passes through the point ( -1, 11 ). </h2>

<h3 /><h3>Step-by-step explanation: </h3>

<u>Find the slope of the parallel line</u>

When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.

                 ⇒  if the slope of this line = - 8

                      then the slope of the parallel line (m) = - 8

<u>Determine the equation</u>

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:  

                               ⇒  y - 11  =  - 8 (x - (-1))                                

                                ∴  y - 11  = - 8 (x + 1)

We can also write the equation in the slope-intercept form by making y the subject of the equation and expanding the bracket to simplify:

                      since   y - 11  = - 8 (x + 1)

                                        y  = - 8 x  + 3

The line from the question [ y = -8x + 3 ] passes through the point ( -1, 11 ).

beks73 [17]

Answer:

(5.4582 ; 6.8618)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

6 10 2 6 3 3 3 6 6 6 6 5 8 9 10 10 7 9 3 6 5 10 9 9 10 3 8 6 6 3 3 6 6 5 4 10 9 3 5 7 10 6 3 8 6 8 3 3 5 5

Sample mean, xbar = Σx / n

n = sample size = 50

ΣX = 308

xbar = 308 / 50 = 6.16

Using a Calculator :

The sample standard deviation, s = 2.469

Confidence interval = xbar ± margin of error

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Tcritical at 95% ; df = 50 - 1 = 49

Tcritical = 2.010

Hence,

Margin of Error= 2.010 * (2.469/sqrt(50)) = 0.7018

Lower boundary : (6.16 - 0.7018) = 5.4582

Upper boundary : (6.16 + 0.7018) = 6.8618

(5.4582 ; 6.8618)
