Concept:
Modeling is a method of simulating the real life situations with mathematical equations. Using these models we can forecast the future behavior. We can translate the mathematical word problem into a math expression using variables.
Calculation:
The given model is
where x is altitude in feet and f(x) is the percent of moisture that falls as snow.
So, in order to get the percent of moisture f(x), replace x in the given model with the values of altitudes.
a) Let
Replace x with
Using calculator,
Multiplying,
Subtracting,
Rounded to nearest tenth,
Based on this model, of moisture falls as snow.
b) Lex
Replace x with
Using calculator,
Multiplying,
Subtracting,
Rounded to nearest tenth,
Based on this model, of moisture falls as snow.
c) Let
Replace x with
Using calculator,
Multiplying,
Subtracting,
Rounded to nearest tenth,
Based on this model, of moisture falls as snow.
Final statement:
Based on this model, of moisture falls as snow at 300 ft, of moisture falls as snow at 4000 ft and of moisture falls as snow at 7000 ft.
