Answer:

<em>It took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The patch grows to double its size everyday

the patch completely covers the lake in 32 days

Since the patch doubles itself everyday, this means that the previous day before the 32nd day, the lake was just half covered.

Therefore, the the patch covered half the lake on the 31st day, i.e <em>it took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

Evaluate f(2) for the function f(x) = 3x2 + 2x - 5
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The answer for f(2) is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x2 + 2x - 5

f(2) = 3(2)2 + 2(2) - 5

f(2) = 6(2) + 4 - 5

f(2) = 12 + 4 - 5

f(2) = 16 - 5

f(2) = 11

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

In the image attached below, we can see that there are

8 tiles of letter O

2 tiles of letter V

This means that there are 10 total tiles of the letters that you want to get (O and V). Since there are a total of 100 tiles we need to divide this value by 100 to get the probability of getting one of these tiles.

10 / 100 = 0.10 or 10%

Finally, we can see that the probability of selecting a O or a V is 10%
