B) -15.6,-12.9,-10.2,-7.5,-4.8
This is an arithmetic sequence.
Step-by-step explanation:
1075 students were asked how close they live to the college. The table shows the results below with some values missing. Enter the correct values in the boxes remembering to use the % symbol where necessary.
<u>20 to 25: </u>given 20%
20% of 1,075 = 215
<u>15 to 19: </u>given 12%
12% of 1,075 = 129
<u>10 to 14: </u>given 516 students
(516/1,075)*100 = 48%
<u>5 to 9: </u>given 162 students
(162/1,075)*100 = 15.07%
<u>< 5: </u>given 53 students
(53/1,075)*100 = 4.93%
You would subtract 5x from y so y=5x-10
Answer:
t represents the time in minutes since the balloon started descending.
a(t) represents the altitude of the balloon at t minutes.
a(5.5) gives the altitude at 5.5 minutes.
Answer:
3×5×53
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use divisibility rules to find the small prime factors.
The number ends in 5, so is divisible by 5.
795/5 = 159
The sum of digits is 1+5+9 = 15; 1+5 = 6, a number divisible by 3, so 3 is a factor.
159/3 = 53 . . . . . a prime number,* so we're done.
795 = 3×5×53
_____
* If this were not prime, it would be divisible by a prime less than its square root. √53 ≈ 7.3. We know it is not divisible by 2, 3, or 5. We also know the closest multiples of 7 are 49 and 56, so it is not divisible by 7. Hence 53 is prime.
