Answer: 26 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of an arithmetic sequence.

The first term = 3.5

common difference = 0.5

Using the formula for calculating the nth term of an arithmetic sequence :

t_{n} = a + (n - 1 ) d

Therefore :

16.5 = 3.5 + ( n - 1 ) x 0.5

16. 5 = 3.5 + 0.5n - 0.5

16.5 = 3 + 0.5n

16.5 - 3 = 0.5n

13.5 = 0.5n

n = 13.5/0.5

n = 27

Therefore , it will take the cat (n-1)  weeks to weigh 16.5 ounce, which will be 27 - 1 = 26

check:

3.5 + 26 ( 0.5)

= 3.5 + 13

= 16.5

Write a polynomial function in factored form with zeros at −2, 5, and 6.
Anna007 [38]
The root -2 leads to the factor (x+2).  The other 2 factors are (x-5) and (x-6).

Then the poly is f(x) = (x+2)(x-5)(x-6).

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing side length. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

B= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagorean theorem formula is a² + b² = c²

so: 8² + b² = 10²

then: 64 + b² = 100

subtract 64 from both sides to get b²= 36

square root 36 and you get 6 for b

answer: B= 6
