A hot air balloon is cruising at an altitude of 120 meters above the ground when it begins its descent. The balloon descends at a rate of 4.5 meters per minute. Explain how you would set up an equation to model when the balloon will reach an altitude of 75 meters above the ground. Then solve the equation and check your solution.


PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - 4.5x + 120

75 = - 4.5x + 120

x = 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To model the scenario described above, we use the linear equation model ;

Where ;

y = bx + c ; c = intercept ; b = slope ; y = altitude at time x

The initial altitude of the hot air Ballon here is the intercept = 120 meters

The descent rate = 4.5 m per minute is the slope ; since it is descent, then the slope will be negative as the altitude will reduce.

Hence, we have ;

y = - 4.5x + 120

Hence, the time altitude will be 75 cabnbe modeled as :

y = 75

75 = - 4.5x + 120

75 - 120 = - 4.5x

- 45 = - 4.5x

x = 10 minutes

Answers

Answer:

∠PTQ = 45°∠QTR = 15°∠PTS = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram PTSR is divided into two equilateral triangles by diagonal RT. All of the acute angles in that quadrilateral are 60°, and the obtuse angles are 120° (2×60° and also the supplement of 60°).

Triangle PTQ is an isosceles right triangle, so its acute angles are 45°.

  ∠PTQ = 45°

  ∠QTR = ∠PTR -∠PTQ = 60° -45°

  ∠QTR = 15°

  ∠PTS = 120° . . . . . . obtuse angle in PTSR; sum of ∠PTR and ∠RTS

The monthly cost of driving a car depends on the number of miles driven. Lynn found that in May it cost her $420 to drive 500 mi and in June it cost her $444 to drive 620 mi. (a) Express the monthly cost C as a function of the distance driven d, assuming that a linear relationship gives a suitable model. C(d)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d + 320[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]d \to miles[/tex]

[tex]C \to cost[/tex]

So:

[tex](d_1,C_1) = (500,420)[/tex] --- May

[tex](d_2,C_2) = (620,444)[/tex] --- June

Required

Express as a function

Start by calculating the slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{\triangle C}{\triangle d}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{444-420}{620-500}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{24}{120}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]m = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

The equation is:

[tex]C(d) = m(d - d_1) +C_1[/tex]

[tex]C(d) = \frac{1}{5}(d - 500) +420[/tex]

[tex]C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d - 100 +420[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]C(d) = \frac{1}{5}d + 320[/tex]

The population of a small town in central Florida has shown a linear decline in the years 2001-2012. In 2001 the population was 22200 people. In 2012 it was 13950 people.

A) Write a linear equation expressing the population of the town, P , as a function of t , the number of years since 2001. Include the entire equation as your answer. Answer: _________________

B) If the town is still experiencing a linear decline, what will the population be in 2014?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, to keep our numbers manageable, we are going to let year 2001 = 0 so year 2012 = 11.  The coordinates that result from these years/population numbers are (0, 22200) and (11, 13950). Since this linear, we can plug those 2 coordinate pairs into the slope equation to find the rate at which the population is decreasing in people per year:

[tex]m=\frac{13950-22200}{11-0}=\frac{-8250}{11}=-750\frac{people}{year}[/tex] That means that the town is losing people at the rate of 750 per year. We can use that slop along with one of the coordinate points to write the linear equation representing this situation:

[tex]y-22200=-750(x-0)[/tex] and

y = -750x + 22200. That answers part A.

Now for B we need to find y when x = 13 (remember we let year 2001 = 0, so year 2014 = 13):

y = -750(13) + 22200 so

y = 12450 people in the year 2014

The relationship between the actual air temperature x (in degrees Fahrenheit) and the temperature y adjust for wind chill (in degrees Fahrenheit, given a 20 mph wind) is given by the following formula:

y= -22 + 1.4x

Answers

The actual temperature is 5 degrees Fahrenheit if the temperature adjusted for wind chill is -15 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation one variable is present then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have the relationship between the actual air temperature x (in degrees Fahrenheit) and the temperature y adjust for wind chill (in degrees Fahrenheit, given by 20 mph wind) is given as:

y = -22 + 1.4x

When.

The temperature adjusted for wind chill, y  = -15 degrees Fahrenheit
Put this value in the given linear equation, we get:

-15 = -22 + 1.4x

-15 + 22 = 1.4x    (add 22 on both sides)

7 = 1.4x

x = 5 degrees Fahrenheit  (divide by 1.4 on both sides)

Thus, the actual temperature is 5 degrees Fahrenheit if the temperature adjusted for wind chill is -15 degrees Fahrenheit.

why is the mean of the set of data is always greater than it's median?

Answers

Answer:

One of the basic tenets of statistics that every student learns in about the second week of intro stats is that in a skewed distribution, the mean is closer to the tail in a skewed distribution. So in a right skewed distribution (the tail points right on the number line), the mean is higher than the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution is said to be right-skewed. In such a distribution, usually (but not always) the mean is greater than the median, or equivalently, the mean is greater than the mode; in which case the skewness is greater than zero.

At a basketball game, a vender sold a combined total of 200 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was three times the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas and the number of hot dogs sold.

Answers

Answer:

50 hot dogs

150 sodas

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a system of equations where 'h' = # hot dogs sold and '3h' = # sodas sold

h + s = 200

s = 3h

h + 3h = 200

4h = 200

h = 50

s = 200-50 or 150

When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV^1.4 = C, where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 400 cm^3 and the pressure is 80 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 10 kPa/min. At what rate is the volume increasing at this instant?

Answers

Answer:

The volume increases at 35.71cm^3/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]PV^{1.4} = C[/tex]

[tex]V = 400cm^3[/tex]

[tex]P =80kPa[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} =-10kPa/min[/tex]

Required

Rate at which volume increases

[tex]PV^{1.4} = C[/tex]       [tex]V = 400cm^3[/tex]       [tex]P =80kPa[/tex]

Differentiate: [tex]PV^{1.4} = C[/tex]  

[tex]P*\frac{dV^{1.4}}{dt} +V^{1.4}*\frac{dP}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}C[/tex]

By differentiating C, we have:

[tex]P*\frac{dV^{1.4}}{dt} +V^{1.4}*\frac{dP}{dt} = 0[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]P*(1.4)*V^{0.4}* \frac{dV}{dt} + V^{1.4}*\frac{dP}{dt} = 0[/tex]

Solve for [tex]\frac{dV}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]P*(1.4)*V^{0.4}* \frac{dV}{dt} =- V^{1.4}*\frac{dP}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} =- \frac{V^{1.4}*\frac{dP}{dt} }{P*(1.4)*V^{0.4}}[/tex]

Substitute values

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} =- \frac{400^{1.4}*-10 }{80*(1.4)*400^{0.4}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} =\frac{400*10 }{80*1.4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} =\frac{4000 }{112}[/tex]
