The equations are written in point-slope form. Which equation represents a line through points (-8, 3) and (2, -3)?

Mold grows on bread and every day it doubles by the eighth day the entire bread is covered with mold when was half the bread cov

Brut [27]

Answer:

The mold will cover half the area as much are one day before it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Every day the mold on bread grows doubles

And by 8th day entire bread covered with it.

To Find:

When was half the bread covered by mold.

Solution:

It is said that area covered by mold doubles on each day

Total days taken to cover entire bread are 8

Let Area of bread be A

So Area covered (A) corresponds to 8 days with doubling.

So on previous day it should What ever area on 8th day/2

i.e A(8)/2

Similar on 6th day A(7)/2

So on 5ht day =A(6)/2 ,4th= A(5)/2, on 3rd= A(4)/2, on 2nd=A(3)/2

On 1st =A(2)/2

So we required Area= half of total.

<em>One day before the 8th day will be 7th day</em>

<em>on that day it will cover half are so that on next day will cover the double of the previous area consumed.</em>

Write the following number as ratios of integers

s2008m [1.1K]

Our goal here is to somehow "surgically remove" the repeating part of the number, so let's start by putting the original value in a variable and messing around with it a bit.

We'll let $x=7.\overline{6}$ . We want to cut the $0.\overline{6}$ bit off completely, so let's create the scalpel that'll let us do that. If $x=7.\overline{6}$ , then we can also say that $10x=76.\overline{6}$ . Maybe I was lying a bit: the $x$ is our real scalpel here, and $10x$ is where we'll be making the cut. Mathematically, a "cut" is almost always shorthand for subtraction, so let's see what our operation (cutting $x$ off of $10x$ ) leaves us with:

$10x-x=76.\overline{6}-7.\overline{6}\\9x=69$

The operation was a success! We can now simply divide either side by 9 to find $x = 69/9$ , which, when reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, gives us $x=23/3$
