1-12 CHAPTER 1: LINEAR EQUATIONS AND GRAPHS
(D) For w = 70, we have
70 = 52 + 1.9h
≈ 9.5
4. We have two representations of (d, P): (0, 14.7) and (34, 29.4).
(A) A line relating P to d passes through the above two points.
Its equation is:
(B) The rate of change of pressure with respect to depth is approximately
(C) For d = 50,
(D) For P = 4 atmospheres, we have P = 4(14.7) = 58.8 lbs/in2
and hence
or d = 58.8 14.7
0.432 102
6. We have two representations of (t, a): (0, 2,880) and (180, 0).
(A) The linear model relating altitude a to the time in air t has
the following equation:
(B) The rate of descent for an ATPS system parachute is 16 ft/sec.
8. We have two representations of (t, s): (0, 1,403) and (20, 1,481).
So, the line passing through these points has the following equation:
