Answer:

h = -t+20

After 8 hours the candle will be 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 points (time, inches)

 (3,17)  and (5,15)

We can find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (15-17)/(5-3)

   = -2/2

   = -1

We can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Replace y with h and x with t

h-17 = -1 (t-3)

Distribute

h-17 = -t+3

Add 17 to each side

h-17+17 = -t+3+17

h = -t+20

After 8 hours

h = -t+20

h = -8+20

h= 12

Match each exponential function to the description of its percent rate of change. 22% growth 12% decay 2% decay 20% growth 20% d
makvit [3.9K]

The exponential function is defined as y = a(1+r)^x, where "a" represents the original account and "r" the rate of growth or decay.

Then we have the following:

1) 22% grow

y = a( 1 + 22%/100 )^x = a(1.22)^x

So the solution is: 124(1.22)^x

2) 12% decay

y = a( 1 - 12%/100 )^x = a(0.88)^x

So the solution is: y = f(x) = 44(0.88)^x

3) 20% decay

y = a( 1 - 20%/100 )^x = a(0.8)^x

So the solution is: f(x) = 22(0.8)

4) 12% Groth

y = a( 1 + 12%/100 )^x = a(1.12)^x

So the solution is: f(x) = 42(1.12)^x

stealth61 [152]

Apply law of total resistance in parallel circuit

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{1}{9+2J}=\dfrac{1}{3-5j}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{1}{R_2}=\dfrac{1}{9+2J}-\dfrac{1}{3-5J}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{1}{R_2}=\dfrac{3-5J-9-2J}{(9+2J)(3-5J)}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow R_2=\dfrac{(9+2J)(3-5J)}{-6-7J}

Your brother has saved $60 to spend on basketball cards he plans to by the cards at a sale single card is $9 and if u buy three
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

7 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

60-39.5=20.5, that's what he has left if he buys 5 cards.

so, if you buy 2 more cards, that would be 18 dollars so 20.5-18=2.5

5 cards+ 2 cards= 7 cards.

He still hzs 2.5 dollars left
