Answer: The approximate absentee rate that day would be 8.09%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students who were absent = 36

Total number of students = 445

We need to find the approximate absentee rate that day :

Rate of absentee of that day would be

$\dfrac{\text{Number of absentee}}{\text{Total number of students}}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{36}{445}\times 100\\\\=8.09\%$

Hence, the approximate absentee rate that day would be 8.09%.

Answer:

[8, 3]

Step-by-step explanation:

-3⁄7[-7x + 14y = -14] ↷

{3x - 6y = 6

{-3x + 7y = -3

_____________

y = 3 [Plug this back into both equations to get an x-value of 8]; 8 = x

So, using the Elimination Method, I decided to eliminate the x's by multiplying the top equation by -3⁄7 to end up with 3x, so I can cancel that with -3x in the bottom equation [additive inverses ALWAYS result in zero], and to be genuine, it really does not matter which variable you choose to eliminate.

Write an explicit furmula for the question below 40 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

aₙ = a₁ . 5⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term in the sequence is a₁ = 6.

a₂ = 30. a₃ = 150.

We see that each consecutive term is multiplies by 5 to arrive at the next term.

That is: a₂ = 30 = a₁ . $5^{2 - 1} = 5$ = 6.5 = 30.
