2 tonnes =2000kg
2000kg÷ 96=21.05 (2dp)
therefore it would take around 21 years for the elephant to increase his mass 2 tonnes

Answer:

20 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of years.

We have been given that a baby elephant has a mass of 105 kg, the baby elephant increases in mass by 95 kg per year.

The mass of baby after x years would be $95x$ .

The total mass of baby after x years would be $95x+105$ .

We know 1 metric tom equals 1000 kg, so 2 metric ton equals 2000 kg.

Now ,we will equate total mass of elephant by 2000 and solve for x as:

$95x+105=2,000$

$95x+105-105=2,000-105$

$95x=1895$

$\frac{95x}{95}=\frac{1895}{95}$

$x=19.94736$

$x\approx 20$

Therefore, it will take 20 years for the baby elephant's mass to increase 2 tonnes.

Hank draws a line with a zero slope through the points (-2,4) and (3.b).which value of b could represent hanks second point ?

Agata [3.3K]

B = 4

A line with a slope of zero is a perfectly horizontal line, which means the y value (the second value) stays the same for every single point on the line.

So, if y equals 4 in the first point, then y still equals 4 in the second point, which means b is equal to 4.

98 points!!

k0ka [10]

The formula for an exponential equation is y = a * b^x with a and b being a fixed value.

"a" would also be the Y intercept, which is where the graph touches or crosses the Y axis. In the given graph, the curved line touches the Y axis at 100, so the value of a would be 100.

Now we need to find b.

The blue dot at Y 50 is lined up with x = 1, so we can use the point (1,50)

Using the X and Y values we can solve for b:

format: y = a * b^x we replace the letters with the numbers above:

50 = 100 * b^1

b^1 = b so now we have:

50 = 100 *b

Divide both sides by 100 to get b by itself:

b = 50/100, which reduces to 1/2, so b = 1/2

So the equation of the graph becomes y = 100(1/2)^x

You may need to write the 1/2 as 0.5, not sure how you need to enter it.

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

natka813 [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.

Let x be the amount of time in hours

Let y be the heoght of a candle in centimeters

The two points are then as (9,24.5) and (23,17.5).

$\mathrm{Find\:the\:line\:}\mathbf{y=mx+b}\mathrm{\:passing\:through\:}\left(9,\:24.5\right)\mathrm{,\:}\left(23,\:17.5\right)$

$\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(9,\:24.5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(23,\:17.5\right)$

$m=\frac{17.5-24.5}{23-9}$

$m=-0.5$

$\mathrm{Plug\:the\:slope\:}-0.5\mathrm{\:into\:}y=mx+b$

$y=\left(-0.5\right)x+b$

$\mathrm{Plug\:in\:}\left(9,\:24.5\right)\mathrm{:\:}\quad \:x=9,\:y=24.5$

$24.5=\left(-0.5\right)\cdot \:9+b$

$-4.5+b=24.5$

$b=29$

$\mathrm{Construct\:the\:line\:equation\:}\mathbf{y=mx+b}\mathrm{\:where\:}\mathbf{m}=-0.5\mathrm{\:and\:}\mathbf{b}=29$

$y=-0.5x+29$

Now plug in x=21, we get

$y=-0.5*21+29=18.5$

Thus the height of the candle after 21 hours is 18.5 centimeters.

Please write a equation for this line

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

y=-x

Step-by-step explanation:

It's going left one by one, meaning the slope is negative and has a slope of -1 or -x.

Explain how the net of rectangular prism can help you find the surface area or the prism?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

A 3d cardboard box has 6 sides, each of which are rectangles. If you unfold the 3D box, and flatten it out, then you'll be left with 6 rectangles such as what you see in the attachment below. This is one way to unfold the box. This flattened drawing is the net of the 3D rectangular prism. You can think of it as wrapping paper that covers the exterior of the box. There are no gaps or overlapping portions. If you can find the area of each piece of the net, and add up those pieces, that gets you the total area of the net. This is the exactly the surface area of the box.

In the drawing below, I've marked the sides as: top, bottom, left, right, front, back. This way you can see how the 3D box unfolds and how the sides correspond to one another. Other net configurations are possible.
