How would i solve the math problem of x>3

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

Alborosie

Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.

Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10

Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.

Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21

Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.

y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)

- Write a recursive formula to represent the sequence below. (3,7, 11, 15, 19,23,27,31,35, ...)

NemiM [27]

The recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:

$a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1$ and n = 1, 2, 3, ....

Solution:

Given a sequence is:

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35

Let us find the difference between terms

7 - 3 = 4

11 - 7 = 4

15 - 11 = 4

19 - 15 = 4

23 - 19 = 4

27 - 23 = 4

31 - 27 = 4

35 - 31 = 4

Thus the difference between terms is constant

Thus the given sequence is arithmetic sequence

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant

The nth term of arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n =a_1+(n-1)d$

$a_n$ = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

$a_1$ = the first term in the sequence

d = the common difference between terms

Here in the given sequence

d = 4

$a_1=3$

Substitute in above formula,

$a_n = 3 + (n-1)(4)\\\\a_n = 3 + 4n - 4\\\\a_n = 4n - 1$

Thus the recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:

$a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1$ and n = 1, 2, 3, ......

Paul drinks 6 cups of coffee each day. Each cup contains 275 milliliters of coffee. How

scZoUnD [109]

<h3>Answer: 11.55 liters</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

275 mL = 275/1000 = 0.275 L

1 cup = 0.275 L

6 cups = 6*0.275 L = 1.65 L

He drinks 1.65 L per day, so over 7 days he drinks a total of 7*1.65 = 11.55 liters.

Carla wants to start a college fund for her daughter Lila. She puts $63,000 into an account that grows at a rate of 2.55% per ye

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 63000

r = 2.55% = 2.55/100 = 0.0255

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

Therefore, function, C(t), that represents the amount of money in the account t years after the account is opened is

C(t) = 63000(1 + 0.0255/12)^12t

C(t) = 63000(1.002125)^12t

For C(t) = 100000,

100000 = 63000(1.002125)^12t

100000/63000 = (1.002125)^12t

1.587 = 1.002125)^12t

Taking log of both sides

Log 1.587 = log 1.002125)^12t

Log 1.587 = 12tlog 1.002125)^

0.2005 = 12t × 0.00092

0.2005 = t × 0.01104

t = 0.2005/0.01104

t = 18.16 years
