Answer:

The length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

let "x" be the length of the pencils

let "y" be the length of the crayons

4 * x + 3 * y = 20.9

5 * x + 4 * y = 26.5 => x = (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5

Replacing:

4 * (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5 + 3 * y = 20.9

21.2 - 3.2 * y + 3 * y = 20.9

-0.2 * y = 20.9 - 21.2

y = -0.3 / -0.2

y = 1.5

now for x:

x = (26.5 - 4 * 1.5) / 5

x = 4.1

This means that the length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches

Zene deposited $50 in a savings account earning 5% interest, compounded annually. To thenearest cent, how much will he have in 3
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

\$57.88  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=3\ years\\ P=\$50\\ r=5\%=5/100=0.05\\n=1  

substitute in the formula above

A=50(1+\frac{0.05}{1})^{1*3}  

A=50(1.05)^{3}  

A=\$57.88

sashaice [31]
The value  of the sine, cosine and tangent of the figure will be found as follows:
a] Sine
sin x=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)
opposite=7
hypotenuse=25
thus:
sin x=  7/25  

 b] Cosine
cos x=adjacent/hypotensue
adjacent=24
hypotenuse=25
cos x=24/25

Tangent
Tan x=opposite/adajcent
opposite=7
adjacent=24
thus
tan x=7/24

ElenaW [278]

The graph is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

From 0 hours to 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached graph, we can see that on the y-axis, denotes the level of ibuprofen in the patient’s bloodstream while the x-axis denotes the amount of hours after the ibuprofen was taken.

Now, looking at the graph, we can see that the curve goes up from a time of 0 hours which corresponds to 0 mg of ibuprofen to a time of 2 hours which corresponds to 400 mg of ibuprofen.

After that point, the curve begins to to go down. Since we are concerned with increase, we will make do with the first statement.

Thus, we can say the period at which the level of ibuprofen increased was from 0 hours to 2 hours.
