Imagine a new pasture with grass growing on it. Every day after the seeds have germinated, the number of blades of grass in the

pasture triples. After 18 days, the entire pasture is completely covered in grass. How many days did it take for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass?

Answer:

It took 17 days for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The number of blades of grass is triple every day

- Consider that there are x blades in the first day

∵ The number of blades of grass is triple every day

∴ The next day the number of blades of grass will be 3x

∴ The formula to find the number of blades of grass after d days is

   x(3)^{d}

- After 18 days, the entire pasture is completely covered in grass

∵ d = 18

∴ The number of blades of grass = x(3)^{18}

- We need to know the the number of days that took for the pasture

  to be one-third covered in grass

∵ The number of blades of grass for 1/3 covered = (\frac{1}{3})x(3)^{18}

∴ (\frac{1}{3})x(3)^{18}=x(3)^{d}

- Remember  \frac{1}{3}=3^{-1}

∴ 3^{-1}x(3)^{18}=x(3)^{d}

- Remember we add the power of the same bases when we

 multiply them

∴ x(3)^{-1+18}=x(3)^{d} ⇒ divide both sides by x

∴ (3)^{17}=(3)^{d}

- Remember if the two bases equal in the equation, then their

 powers are equal

∴ d = 17

* It took 17 days for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass

Solve the equation P=4s for s
Bess [88]
Solve for s.

p=4s

Flip the equation.

4s=p

Divide both sides by 4.

4s/4=p/4

s=1/4p

The average rate of change is -5 per month

<h3>How to determine the average rate of change?</h3>

The interval is given as:

July to December

From the graph, we have:

July = 110

December = 30

The average rate of a function over the interval (a, b) is calculated as:

Rate = [f(b) - f(a)]/[b - a]

So, we have:

Rate = (30 - 110)/(December- July)

This gives

Rate = (30 - 110)/(12 - 7)

Evaluate

Rate = -16

Hence, the average rate of change is -5 per month

what is the distance between point S and U? Round to the nearest tenth of a unit? A 3.3 B 6.4 C 8.1 D 12.0
ki77a [65]
The distance between the points (d) is found using the Pythagorean theorem.

Imagine the two points as defining the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The lengths of the legs of the triangle are the horizontal distance between the points and the vertical distance between the points. The the theorem tells us
   d² = 4² + 7²
   d² = 16 + 49
   d² = 65
   d = √65 ≈ 8.1

The distance between the points is
   C  8.1


_____
You know that the distance must be longer than the longest leg (7) and must be shorter than the sum of the two legs (4+7=11). The only answer choice between 7 and 11 is 8.1.
