Answer:
17.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 17 hours between heights of 18.6 cm and 15.2 cm, the candle lost 3.4 cm in height. That is, the height decreased at the rate of ...
(-3.4 cm)/(17 h) = -0.2 cm/h
In the 4 hours between 12 hours and 16 hours of burning time, the candle will have changed its height by (4 h)(-0.2 cm/h) = -0.8 cm.
The height at 16 hours of burning is then 18.6 cm -0.8 cm = 17.8 cm.
Answer: a) -13/16
Step-by-step explanation: Start by setting equations equal and rearrange X^3 - x^2 + 1 = 0. Visual inspection of graph shows x between -1 and -1/2. Start with x = 3/4 plug in and calculate: just a little too small. Try going halfway towards -1: x =-7/8 Plug in and the answer is very far from 0. Go halfway back towards -3/4: -13/16 and the equality is very close.
Steps to solve:
8j - k + 14; j = 0.25 and k = 1
~Substitute
8(0.25) - (1) + 14
~Simplify
2 - 1 + 14
~Subtract
1 + 14
~Add
15
Best of Luck!
