Answer:

Let point's possessed by school A = x

and point possessed by School B = y

And the statement given Regarding the school are :

School X has eight more points than School Y. School X has three times as many points as School Y .

Writing these statements in terms of equation

1.   x = y + 8

2.  x = 3 y

Substituting the value of x in y, we get

3 y = y + 8

Taking variable on left side of equation

3 y - y = 8

2 y= 8

y = \frac{8}{2}=4

As , x= y + 8 gives x = 4 + 8 = 12

Point possessed by School A = 12 points

Points possessed by school B =  4 points

Answer: Approximately 72.69 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Antenna height = h

sin(42.3)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} =\frac{h}{108} \\\\108*sin(42.3)=h\\\\h=72.685

Find the leg of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse is of the given measure. Given = 8 cm.
kogti [31]
An isosceles right triangle is composed of a right angle and two congruent acute angles. In this case, 90 + 2x = 180 where x is the acute angle. x is equal to 45 degrees. Using sine law, 8/sin 90 = y / sin 45 where y is the leg of the triangle. the leg's length is equal to 4 sqrt 2.

The population of a particular type of bacteria is known to triple in 22 days. What is the daily growth rate
Paul [167]

Answer: ∛(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that at day 0 the population was A.

at day 3, the population will be: 3*A

at day 6, the population will be 3*(3*A) = A*3^2

then, at day N = 3*n (where n = 0, 1, 2.....) the population will be:

P(N) = A*3^n

Particularly, if we take n = 1/3 we will have:

N = 3*1/3 = 1

This means that this is the first day after the day 0.

P(1) = A*3^(1/3)

(then in day one, the population grow by a factor of 3^(1/3))

N = 2 is when n = 2/3, then:

P(2) = A*3^(2/3)

The quotient between P(2) and P(1) is equal to the growth between day one and day two, this should be the same as the growth between day zero and day one.

A*3^(2/3)/(A*3^(1/3)) = 3^( 2/3 - 1/3) = 3^(1/3)

So we found that the daily growth rate is 3^(1/3) or ∛(3)
