How do lichens weather rock?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Biological weathering is the actual molecular breakdown of minerals. There are things called lichens (combinations of fungi and algae) which live on rocks. Lichens slowly eat away at the surface of rocks. The amount of biological activity that breaks down minerals depends on how much life is in that area

Two regular polygons X and Y are such that the number of sides of X is
anyanavicka [17]

Based on the indices of the regular polygons, the number of sides that X has is 8. See the computation below.

<h3>What is the analysis for the above solution?</h3>

Assuming that X has G number of sides; and

Y has H number of sides, this means that:

G-H = 3 ...........1

Recall that the formula for the exterior angles is:

360/n; where n is number of sides

X = 360/G

Y = 360/H

(360/G) + (360/H) = 117°.......2


Solving 1 and 2 simultaneously, we obtain:

G= 8 and

H = 5

Thus, X has 8 sides.

The line containing the median of the trapezoid whose vertices are R(-1, 5) , S(1, 8), T(7, -2), and U(2, 0).
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

y=-\dfrac{5}{3}x+6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: trapezoid RSTU with vertices R(-1, 5), S(1, 8), T(7, -2), and U(2, 0).

Plot these points on the coordinate plane. As you can see, lines RU and ST are parallel lines and segments ST and RU are bases of the trapezoid.

The median of the trapezoid (the middle line) passes through the midpoints of the sides RS and TU. Find these midpoints:

M\left(\dfrac{x_S+x_R}{2},\dfrac{y_S+y_R}{2}\right)\Rightarrow M(0,6.5)\\ \\N\left(\dfrac{x_T+x_U}{2},\dfrac{y_T+y_U}{2}\right)\Rightarrow N(4.5,-1)

The equation of the line MN is

\dfrac{x-0}{4.5-0}=\dfrac{y-6.5}{-1-6.5}\\ \\\dfrac{x}{4.5}=\dfrac{y-6.5}{-7.5}\\ \\y=-\dfrac{5}{3}x+6.5

A 30 ft building casts a shadow that is 75 ft. long. A nearby tree casts a shadow that is 35 ft. long. How tall is the tree?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The tree is 14 ft. tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the building/ Height of the tree  = Shadow of building/ Shadow of tree

30/x = 75/35           Cross multiply

75x = (30)(35)

75x = 1050

x = 1050/75

x = 14

If someone can answer all these ill give 100 points
Helga [31]

Answer:

1. x = -6

2. x = 2

3. x = 6

4. x = 3

5. x = -5

6. x = -1

7. x = 0

8. x = 9

9. x = -4

10. x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

  • -10x = -8x + 12
  • -10x+8x=-8x+12+8x
  • -2x=12
  • -2x/-2=12/-2
  • x=-6

2.

  • 9-5x+x=1-x+x
  • -4x+9=1
  • -4x+9-9=1-9
  • -4x=-8
  • -4x/-4=-8/-4
  • x=2

3.

  • -2x+16-x=x-2-x
  • -3x+16=-2
  • -3x+16-16=-2-16
  • -3x=-18
  • -3x/3=-18/-3
  • x = 6

4.

  • (-4)(6x)+(-4)(-2)= -8x-40
  • -24x+8=-8x-40
  • -24x+8+8x=-8x-40
  • -16x+8=-40
  • -16x+8-8=-40-8
  • -16x=-48
  • -16x/-16=-48/-16
  • x=3

5.

  • 37 - 8x = (-7)(x)+(-7)(-6)
  • -8x+37=-7x+42
  • -8x + 37 + 7x = -7x + 42 + 7x
  • -x+37=42
  • -x+37-37=42-37
  • -x=5
  • -x/-1=5/-1
  • x=-5

6.

  • 6x+(-2)(2)+(-2)(8x) = 10 + 4x
  • 6x-4-16x = 10 + 4x
  • -10x - 4 = 4x + 10
  • -10x - 4 -4x=4x+10-4x
  • -14x-4=10
  • -14x-4+4=10+4
  • -14x=14
  • -14x/-14=14/-14
  • x=-1

7.

  • (-2)(x) + (-2)(1) = (2)(x) + (2)(-1)
  • -2x-2=2x-2
  • -2x-2-2x = 2x - 2 - 2x
  • -4x - 2 = -2
  • -4x-2+2=-2+2
  • -4x=0
  • -4x/-4=0/-4
  • x=0

8.

  • (-3)(x)+(-3)(3)=(-6)(x)+(-6)(-3)
  • -3x-9=-6x+18
  • -3x-9+6x=-6x+18+6x
  • 3x-9=18
  • 3x-9+9=18+9
  • 3x=27
  • 3x/3 = 27/3
  • x=9

9.

  • 6x-36=(-4)(-2x)+(-4)(7)
  • 6x-36= 8x -28
  • 6x-36-8x = 8x - 28 - 8x
  • -2x-36=-28
  • -2x-36+36=-28+36
  • -2x = 8
  • -2x/-2=8/-2
  • x=-4

10.

  • (2)(x)+(2)(1) = -2x + 30
  • 2x+2=-2x+30
  • 2x+2+2x=-2x+30+2x
  • 4x+2=30
  • 4x+2-2=30-2
  • 4x=28
  • 4x/4=28/4
  • x=7
