Answer:

The African elephant weighs <u>111.5 tons</u> less than a blue whale.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Animal                         Weight(pounds)

African Elephant            15,000

Blue Whale                   238,000

Now, to find the weight of how more tons does a blue whale weigh than an African elephant.

As given, 1 ton = 2,000 pounds.

So, to convert the weight from pound to tons by dividing:

African elephant =15000\div 2000=7.5\ tons.

Blue whale =238000\div 2000=119\ tons.

Now, to get the weight of how more tons is blue whale weigh than an African elephant we subtract:

Blue\ whale - African\ elephant

=119 tons-7.5tons

=111.5\ tons

Therefore, the African elephant weighs 111.5 tons less than a blue whale.

Solve each system using substitution or additions<br> (elimination).<br><br> -x+2y=-1<br> 5x-10y=6
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L1 -x + 2y = -1

L2 5x - 10y = 6

-x + 2y = - 1 multiply by -1

x - 2y = 1 multiply by 5

5x - 10y = 5 is similar that 5x - 10y = 6

The system has no solution

How do I find the y intercept in a fraction
Furkat [3]

ANSWER:

Both functions have the same slope

The linear equation does not have a y-intercept

The table and the grahp express an equivalent function

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

In order to compare, we must calculate the slope of the table, knowing that the equation in its slope and intercept form is the following:

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where m is the slope and b is y-intercept} \end{gathered}

The formula to calculate the slope is the following:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The points are (-6, -9/2) and (4,3), replacing:

m=\frac{3-(-\frac{9}{2})}{4-(-6)}=\frac{3+\frac{9}{2}}{4+6}=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{10}=\frac{15}{20}=\frac{3}{4}

The slope is 3/4

Now, for b

x = 4

y = 3

m = 3/4

replacing:

\begin{gathered} 3=\frac{3}{4}\cdot4+b \\ b=3-3 \\ b=0 \end{gathered}

The equation is:

y=\frac{3}{4}x

Therefore, the true statements are:

• Both functions have the same slope

,

• The linear equation does not have a y-intercept

,

• The table and the grahp express an equivalent function

Please help me find limit​
cluponka [151]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -13/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Straightforward evaluation of the expression at x=1 gives (1 -1)/(1 -1) = 0/0, an indeterminate form. So, L'Hopital's rule applies. The ratio of derivatives is ...

  \displaystyle\lim_{x\to 1}\dfrac{n}{d}=\dfrac{n'}{d'}=\left.\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3\sqrt[3]{4x-3}}-\dfrac{7}{2\sqrt{7x-6}}}{\dfrac{5}{2\sqrt{5x-4}}-\dfrac{2}{3\sqrt[3]{2x-1}}}\right|_{x=1}=\dfrac{4/3-7/2}{5/2-2/3}=\dfrac{8-21}{15-4}\\\\=\boxed{-\dfrac{13}{11}}
