Answer:

$\boxed{2.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

=> $\frac{1}{2} of 5$

The word "of" means "to multiply"

=> $\frac{1}{2} * 5$

=> $\frac{1*5}{2}$

=> $\frac{5}{2}$

=> 2.5

Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin. r = -5 - 5 cos θ

Grace [21]

Y-axis symmetry=(r, theta)=(-r,theta)
-5-5cos(theta)=r
-r=5+5cos(theta)
no y-axis symmetry
x-axis symmetry=(r,theta)=(r,-theta)
cosine is an even function, so yes it is symmetric around x-axis
origin symmetry=(r,theta)=(-r,theta) or (r, theta+pi)
no, as there is no y-axis symmetry

I cant believe how bad my brother, Reuben, is at growing things. He bought a whole bunch of plants at the nursery the other day.

Answer:

68 plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of plants that Reuben bought from the nursery.

We have been given that Reuben bought a whole bunch of plants at the nursery the other day. Right away, five died. So number of plant left would be $x-5$ .

We are also told that then our dog dug up 2/9 of them. So number of plants left after dug-up would be $\frac{2}{9}(x-5)$ .

Further a rabbit came and ate ½ of what was left. So number of plants left would be $\frac{\frac{2}{9}(x-5)}{2}=\frac{2}{9\times 2}(x-5)=\frac{1}{9}(x-5)$ .
