Solution:
As always, try to find a way of looking at the problem that makes the solution simple. In this problem, regardless of the current state of the puzzle, a move consists of combining two clusters into a single cluster. Therefore every move reduces the number of clusters by 1. Since we begin with 2000 clusters (the single pieces) and end with 1 cluster, we need
\[2000-1=\boxed{1999}\]
moves to complete the puzzle.
Answer:
7.5in³
Step-by-step explanation:
1x5x1.5=7.5
Subtract
3y = 12
y = 4
2x - y = 6
2x - 4 = 6
2x = 10
x = 5
solution (5,4)
answer is D. (5.4)
An observation of the Moon was conducted from Friday, November 8, 2013 to Thursday, November 14, 2013. The study of the Moon during this period occurred consistently between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. EST within the Northern Hemisphere at 37.3346° N, 79.5228° W (Bedford, V.A.). The Moon was noted to be illuminated on the right side and had a dark shadow on the left side indicating a waxing phase. The light region grew over the surface of the Moon with each subsequent night. The first night’s phase was waxing crescent with over 25 percent of the Moon lit up. The next night, the light had grown to cover more of the Moon as it continued through its waxing crescent phase. On November 10th, the Moon exhibited traits of being at first-quarter or …show more content…
An observation of the Moon was conducted from Friday, November 8, 2013 to Thursday, November 14, 2013. The study of the Moon during this period occurred consistently between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. EST within the Northern Hemisphere at 37.3346° N, 79.5228° W (Bedford, V.A.). The Moon was noted to be illuminated on the right side and had a dark shadow on the left side indicating a waxing phase. The light region grew over the surface of the Moon with each subsequent night. The first night’s phase was waxing crescent with over 25 percent of the Moon lit up. The next night, the light had grown to cover more of the Moon as it continued through its waxing crescent phase. On November 10th, the Moon exhibited traits of being at first-quarter or half-moon status because at least 50 percent of its surface was illuminated. In the following nights, the Moon displayed characteristics of waxing gibbous as the light continued to grow across the moon’s surface from right to left. The Moon was nearing closer to the full moon phase on November 14th as only a very small dark shadow was visible on the left side.
The Moon takes 27.3 days (sidereal month) to complete its actual orbit around the Earth. Like the Sun, the Moon rises in the east and sets in the west each day.
Answer:
- reflection over the x-axis
- translate right 2 units
- translate down 3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Horizontal translation of the graph of a function is accomplished by replacing x with (x-h) for translation h units to the right. Vertical translation of the graph is accomplished by adding the amount of translation to the function value: f(x)+k translates the graph k units upward.
Reflection of a function over the x-axis is accomplished by changing the sign of every function value: -f(x).
<h3>Application</h3>
We observe that f(x) has been transformed by ...
- multiplying by -1 to get -f(x)
- replacing x with (x -2) to get -f(x -2)
- adding -3 to the function value to get -f(x -2) -3
The effect of these transformations is (correspondingly) ...
- reflection over the x-axis
- translate right 2 units
- translate down 3 units
__
The attached graph shows a function f(x) (red) and the transformed function (blue).
