Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially the monster is one-headed, when it is cut off, 2 more heads grow in its place, when the two heads are cut off, 4 will grow in its place. This will go on an on and the amount of heads that grows each day will form a geometric sequance as shown;

1, 2, 4...

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expresses as;

T_n = ar^{n-1} where;

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

To get the number of heads that the Hydra have on the third day, we will have to find the fourth term of the sequence since the first cutting was done the next day (second day).

from the sequence above;

a = 1

r = 2/1 = 4/2 = 2

T4 = 1(2)^{4-1}

T4 = 2^3

T4 = 8

Hence the hydra will have 8 heads on the third day.

To know the number of heads at the end of 10 days, we will find the 11th term of the progression

T11 = 1(2)^{11-1}

T4 = 2^10

T4 = 1024

He will have 1024 heads after 10 days of trying to kill the monster.

After the outbreak of a mysterious disease the average wait time at a hospital increased by 70% before the outbreak the average
qaws [65]

Answer:

1.7m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 'm' was the waiting time before the outbreak

After the outbreak, waiting time increased by 70%.

This implies that :

70% of m increase

m + 70% of m

m + 70/100 of m

m + ( 70÷100 ) × m

m + 0.7m

= 1.7m

Answer:

y = -1/4x - 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Find points from the graph.</em>

Point (-4, -5)

y-intercept (0, -6)

<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                    m=\frac{-6+5}{0+4}
  2. Add:                              m=\frac{-1}{4}

<u>Step 3: Write linear function</u>

y = -1/4x - 6

If two angles of a triangle each measure 45 degrees what is the third angle
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Since you have two angles that measure 45 degrees. Those 2 equal 90 degrees altogether. Since a triangle measures 180 degrees, you take 180-90 because you already have 2 angles and are trying to find the last one. Then this makes the last angle 90 degrees.
