Aneli [31]3 years ago

Answer:

-1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-1.25 - (0.25)

1. Put the negative sign (-) in the parentheses

-1.25 - 0.25

2. Subtract the two numbers

-1.25 - 0.25 = -1.5

Lucy subtracted the two numbers instead of seeing that the 0.25 has to be negative as well.

The volume of a cube of ice for an ice sculpture is 64,000 cubic inches.
Montano1993 [528]
A) To find the edge length from the volume you use the formula:

e = V¹ˡ³ (to the power of 1/3) where e is the edge length.

Substitute in the volume:

e = 64000¹ˡ³

Solve:

Edge length = 40 inches



b) To find the surface area from the volume you use the formula:

s = 6V²ˡ³ (to the power of 2/3) where s is the surface area.

Substitute in the volume:

s = 6 x 64000²ˡ³

Solve:

s = 384000²ˡ³

Surface area = 9600 square inches

An epidemic has hit Minecole City. Its population is declining 34% every hour. In just 3 hours, there are only 25,143 people lef
Vinvika [58]
The answer is 87,455

P(x) = P(0) * nˣ
P(x) - the final population after period x
P(0) - the initial population
n - the growth factor in decimal
x - period of time

x = 3 hours
P(3) = 25,143
P(0) = ?
n = 100- 34% = 66% = 0.66


P(x) = P(0) * nˣ
25,143 = P(0) * 0.66³
25,143 = P(0) * 0.287496
P(0) = 25,143 / 0.287496
P(0) ≈ 87,455

The graph shows a system of equations:
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

c. (3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equating the values of y :

  • -x + 5 = x - 1
  • x + x = 5 + 1
  • 2x = 6
  • <u>x = 3</u> [x-coordinate of the solution]

Finding y by substituting x in one of the equations :

  • y = x - 1
  • y = 3 - 1
  • <u>y = 2</u> [y-coordinate of the solution]

Solving :

  • Solution = (x, y)
  • Solution = (3, 2)
