Answer:

9,11

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x, x+2 (since consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2)

therefore;

x(x+2)= 99

x²+2x=99

I usually solve the sum like this,

we need to find the nearest square number ( number smaller than the number on the R.H.S)

here, it is 81, whose square root is 9. therefore the solution is 9

verification:

(9)²+2*9=99

81+18=99

99=99

hence, 9 is the solution. therefore the positive odd consecutive integers are

x=9

x+2=9+2= 11

verification:

9*11=99

99=99

Find the mode(s) for the given sample data. The lengths (in inches) of each snake in the Clarmont Zoo's reptile house are shown

Contact [7]

The correct option is : no mode

Explanation

The given data set is: $9, 15, 86, 13, 16, 101, 85, 10, 14, 17, 102$

The mode is the number that is repeated more often than any other number in the data set.

But here we can see that all the numbers in this data set are different. That means they appear only once.

So, there will be 'no mode' in this set.

The number of bats in a colony is growing exponentially. After 1 year, there were 70 bats. After 4 years, there were 560 bats. I

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

23040 bats

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N(t) be the number of bats at time

We know that exponential function

$y = ab$

According to question

$N(t) = ab^{2}$

Where t (in years)

Substitute t=2 and N(2)=180

$180 = ab^{2}$

Substitute t=5 and N(5)=1440

$1440 = ab^{5}$

Equation (1) divided by equation (2)

$\frac{180}{1440} = \frac{ab^{2} }{ab^{5}} = \frac{1}{b\frac{5-2}{}}$

By using the property

Substitute the values of b in equation (1)

Substitute t=9

Hence, after 9 years the expected bats in the colony=23040 bats
