W=winston's age
x=xavier's age


winston is 8  years older than xavier
w=8+x

in 2 years, winston will be twice as old as xavier
w+2=2(x+2)

we have
w=8+x and
w+2=2(x+2)
subsitute 8+x for w

w+2=2(w+2)
8+x+2=2(x+2)
x+10=2(x+2)
x+10=2x+4
minus x both sides
10=x+4
minus 4 both sides
6=x

sub back
w=8+x
w=8+6
w=14

winston is 14 years old now
xavier is 6 years old now

Fission tracks are trails found in uranium-bearing minerals, left by fragments released during fission events. An article report
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Mean track length for this rock specimen is between 10.463 and 13.537

Step-by-step explanation:

99% confidence interval for the mean track length for rock specimen can be calculated using the formula:

M±\frac{t*s}{\sqrt{N}} where

  • M is the average track length (12 μm) in the report
  • t is the two tailed t-score in 99% confidence interval (2.977)
  • s is the standard deviation of track lengths in the report (2 μm)
  • N is the total number of tracks (15)

putting these numbers in the formula, we get confidence interval in 99% confidence as:

12±\frac{2.977*2}{\sqrt{15}} =12±1.537

Therefore, mean track length for this rock specimen is between 10.463 and 13.537

Find the range of possible values for y.
nikdorinn [45]
I hope your not that lost now.

Finding the range of a function y=f(x) is the same as finding all values that y could be. To do this, we can think of it this way: The range of f(x) is all the y-values where there is a number x with y=f(x).

Debra wants to cover a footrest in the shape of a rectangular prism with cotton fabric. The footrest is 15 inches by 7 inches by
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Yes, she can.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the surface area of the footrest and see if it greater than or less than 1 square yard.

The surface area of a rectangular prism is given as:

A=2(wl+hl+hw)

where w = width, l = length, h = height

The footrest is 15 inches by 7 inches by 9 inches. Its surface area is:

A = 2[(7 * 15) + (9 * 15) + (9 * 7)]

A = 2[105 + 135 + 63]

A = 2 * 303 = 606 square inches

1 square inch = 0.000771605 square yards

=> 606 square inches = 606 * 0.000771605 = 0.468 square yards

Since the surface area of the prism is less than 1 square yard, she can completely cover the footrest with the fabric.

Round 478.54 to the nearest tenth
Schach [20]
A tenth is the number that occurs after the decimal
If the number after the tenth is five or higher, then you round up
If the number after the tenth if four or lower, then the tenth stays the same value as it is
In this case, the Ume after the tenth is exactly four, so the value of the tenth stays the same
So your answer is 478.5
