Question 1: Which of these animals can travel at the greatest distance from sea level Question 2: order the elevations of the animals from least to greatest

Q1 : Ruppell's Giffrons

Q2 :

sperm whales

dolphins

missing birds

Ruppell's Giffrons

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know if I can see the full picture, as it is clearly cut off.

my answers are based on what I can see :

Giffrons, migrating birds, dolphin and sperm whale.

here are the reasons for my 2 answers :

sea level = elevation of 0 ft. so, this is "point" 0.

Q1 now asks about what of the listed animals can move the farthest away from 0.

and distance is always positive. now matter the direction we are going. if we go from 0 to +5, the distance is 5. and if we go from 0 to -5, the distance is also 5.

so, we are looking for the animal with the largest absolute value of elevation it can reach.

and that are the Ruppell's Giffrons with 37000 ft. 37000 is much farther away from 0 than e.g -3000. and so on.

Q2 wants us to sort the animals based on their reachable elevations.

by the way, the correct words would be "lowest to highest". as this is how elevation works on scales.

and remember, negative values get actually larger in their absolute values, when we make them smaller.

-2 is smaller than -1.

therefore, the animal that can get the lowest of all here is the sperm whale.

then comes the dolphin.

then the migration birds.

and then the Ruppell's Giffrons.

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
