Step-by-step explanation:

The question is wrong. The correct equation is :

$C=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{160}{9}$

We know that the equation gives the relation between temperature readings in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Therefore, giving that we know the value in Fahrenheit ''F'' we can find the reading in Celsius ''C''. This define a function C(F) that depends of the variable ''F''.

So for the incise (a) we answer Yes, C is a function of F.

For (b) we need to find the mathematical domain of this function. Giving that we haven't got any mathematical restriction, the mathematical domain of the function are all real numbers.

Dom (C) = ( - ∞ , + ∞)

For (c) we know that the water in liquid state and at normal atmospheric pressure exists between 0 and 100 Celsius.

Therefore the range will be

Rang (C) = (0,100)

Now, we need to find the domain for this range. We do this by equaliting and finding the value for the variable ''F'' :

For C = 0 :

$0=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{160}{9}$ ⇒ $F=32$

And for C = 100 :

$100=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{160}{9}$ ⇒ $F=212$

Therefore, the domain as relating temperatures of water in its liquid state is

Dom (C) = (32,212)

For (d) we only need to replace in the equation by $F=71$ and find the value of C ⇒

$C=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{160}{9}$ ⇒

$C=(\frac{5}{9})(71)-\frac{160}{9}$

$C=\frac{65}{3}$ ≅ 21.67

C(71) = 21.67 °C

How to round 47,125 to the nearest ten,to the nearest hundred, to the nearest thousand and to the nearest ten thousand

Tasya [4]

To be able to round the number 47,125 to the nearest tenth, hundredth, and thousandth place you need to know were those places are. The tens place is the second one from the right hand side. The hundreds place is the third one from the right hand side and the thousands place is the one right after the comma. Now, to round to the tens place, you need to look at the place right behind it (which would be the ones place) then you need to analyze. If the number in the ones place is between 0-4 you can NOT round the tens place but, if it is between 5-9 you can. The same rule applies when you round to the hundreds and thousands place. So the number you should end up with is - 47,135.

SSSSS [86.1K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

First of all let's write the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, which is:

$y=mx+b \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ m: \ slope \\ \\ b: \ y-intercept$

So we just need to find $m \ and \ b$ to solve this problem.

Moreover, this problem tells us that Amir drove from Jerusalem down to the lowest place on Earth, the Dead Sea, descending at a rate of 12 meters per minute. So this rate is the slope of the line, that is:

$m=-12$

Negative slope because Amir is descending. So:

$y=-12x+b$

To find $b$ , we need to use the information that tells us that he was at sea level after 30 minutes of driving, so this can be written as the point $(30,0)$ . Therefore, substituting this point into our equation:

$y=-12x+b \\ \\ 0=-12(30)+b \\ \\ 0=-360+b \\ \\ \therefore b=360$

Finally, the equation of Amir's altitude relative to sea level (in meters) and time (in minutes) is:

$\boxed{y=-12x+360}$

Whose graph is shown bellow.

Answer:

Over 2 oz. Class A-II felony

Step-by-step explanation:

One would need to carefully weigh the material.*

0.06 kg ≈ 2.12 oz

Note that .06 kg is 1 significant figure, so this rounds to 2 oz (1 significant figure). Given the precision of the reported weight, there is insufficient precision to say the amount is actually over 2 oz.

If you take the numbers at face value, the suspect is in possession of over 2 oz, so will be charged with a Class A-II felony.

_____

* 2.00 ounces translates to about 0.0567 kg, which rounds to 0.06 kg.
