3. 54/ 144

4. Divide 54 by 144

5 0.375

What is represented by a pair of lowercase letters in a punnett square?

Viefleur [7K]

A pair of lowercase letters represents a recessive gene.

For further clarification, if needed... If the punnett square was for dark hair being dominant over blonde hair, the offspring that was represented by two lowercase letters in a punnett square would have a phenotype of blonde hair.

g A 5 foot tall man walks at 10 ft/s toward a street light that is 20 ft above the ground. What is the rate of change of the len

vredina [299]

Answer:

$-\frac{10}{3}ft/s$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of man=5 foot

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-10ft/s$

Height of street light=20ft

We have to find the rate of change of the length of his shadow when he is 25 ft form the street light.

ABE and CDE are similar triangle because all right triangles are similar.

$\frac{20}{5}=\frac{x+y}{x}$

$4=\frac{x+y}{x}$

$4x=x+y$

$4x-x=y$

$3x=y$

$3\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}(-10)=-\frac{10}{3}ft/s=-\frac{10}{3}ft/s$

Hence, the rate of change of the length of his shadow when he is 25 ft from the street light= $-\frac{10}{3}ft/s$

for every girl taking classes at the martial arts schools there are 3 boys who are taking classes at the school. if there are 23

Yuliya22 [10]

You have to be very careful how you set this up. For every girl (who counts as 1) there are 3 boys (who count as 3). The total number in the proportion is 3 + 1 =4. You are given a total, but that is both boys and girls. That's why you need the 4.

3/4 = x / 236 Cross multiply

4x = 3 * 236

4x = 708 Divide by 4

x = 708/4

x = 177

There are 177 boys at the school and 236 - 177 = 59 girls.

The price P of a good and the quality Q of a good are linked.

Irina-Kira [14]

the equilibrium point, is when Demand = Supply, namely, when the amount of "Q"uantity demanded by customers is the same as the Quantity supplied by vendors.

That occurs when both of these equations are equal to each other.

let's do away with the denominators, by multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case, 12.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{Supply}}{-\cfrac{3}{4}Q+35}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{Demand}}{\cfrac{2}{3}Q+1}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying by 12}}{12\left( -\cfrac{3}{4}Q+35 \right)=12\left( \cfrac{2}{3}Q+1 \right)} \\\\\\ -9Q+420=8Q+12\implies 408=17Q\implies \cfrac{408}{17}=Q\implies \boxed{24=Q} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using the found Q in the Demand equation}}{P=\cfrac{2}{3}(24)+1}\implies P=16+1\implies \boxed{P=17} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{Equilibrium}{(24,17)}~\hfill$
