Part A: Write an expression to represent the elevation, in feet, of city D. (5 points) Part B: Solve the expression and explain why the answer is negative or positive. (5 points)

Respuesta :

A) The expression to represent the elevation in feet of city D is; ¹/₂ × (-16) ft

B) The solution to the expression of the elevation of City D is; -8 fr which is negative because it falls below sea level.

First of all, sea level is at 0 ft.

Thus;

If city A has an elevation of 80 ft below sea level, then;

Elevation of city A = -80 ft

The elevation of city C is 16 feet below sea level. Thus;

Elevation of city C = -16 ft

A) The elevation of city D is ¹/₂ of the elevation of city C. Thus;

Expression for Elevation of city D = ¹/₂ × (-16)

B) Solving the expression for elevation of city D gives;

Elevation of City D = -8 ft

The reason why the answer is negative is because any distance below sea level is considered to be negative and city C which is twice the elevation of city D is negative, and so city D must also have a negative elevation.
