You want to test the effect of light on the distribution of Artemia in your 35cm long testing chamber. If you measure the light

at one end to be 10 lumens and the light at the other end to be 200 lumens, and the gradient distribution along the testing chamber is linear, what would you predict the lumens to be 10 cm from the darkest end?

Answer:

64.3 lumens

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Length of the testing chamber = 35 cm

Light at one end = 10 lumens

Light at other end = 200 lumens

now,

since the variation is linear,

therefore, the gradient of the variation

= \frac{200-10}{35}

= 5.43

also,

the darkest end is the end with 10 lumens

therefore,

The lumens at 10 cm from the darkest end

= 10 + 5.43(10)

= 10 + 54.3

= 64.3 lumens

The line through (-1/2, -7/2) and (2, 14) in slope intercept form??
icang [17]
To find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form given two points, we must arrange the points this way to find the slope (m):

m =  \frac{y_{2}-y _{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

We can replace the variables in this equation with the values from the points we have been given, (\frac{-1}{2},  \frac{-7}{2}) and (2, 14). We know that the x-values always come first in an ordered pair, so we can put those in our equation first.
It doesn't really matter which x-value goes in which x-value slot in the equation as long as you match up the y-values in the same fashion. But for the sake of convenience, we will call the 2 in the second ordered pair x_{2} and the \frac{-1}{2} in the first ordered pair x_{1}.
Now, we can match these values in our equation, and while we're at it, we can substitute the appropriate y-values into their places as well.

m =  \frac{y_{2}-y _{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m =  \frac{14 -  \frac{-7}{2} }{2 -  \frac{-1}{2} }

Now, we can see that we are subtracting negatives in this equation. Remember that whenever you subtract a negative, it is the same as adding a positive. So, this equation could be rewritten as

m =  \frac{14 +  \frac{7}{2} }{2 +  \frac{1}{2} }

and we can change the improper fraction in the numerator into a mixed number for ease of addition.

m =  \frac{14 + 3 \frac{1}{2} }{2+ \frac{1}{2} }

And here, we can add, since it's made simple for us.

m =  \frac{17  \frac{1}{2} }{2  \frac{1}{2} }

Finally, to get the slope we can complete the fraction by dividing.

17.5 ÷ 2.5 = 7

The slope of this equation, m, is 7, and so far, our equation looks like this:

y = 7m + b

Now, to find y-intercept.

To do this, we simply have to substitute one of the ordered pairs in for the appropriate x- and y-values and solve. To make it easier on ourselves, we can use (2, 14) so we don't have to deal with negative numbers or fractions.

y = 7x + b

Let us substitute in our values.

14=7(2)+b

Now, we can solve by multiplying the 7 and 2.

14=14+b

Here, we can subtract 14 from both sides, since it is added to both in the equation, and we are left with

0 = b

which can be flipped around to show

b=0

The y-intercept of this line is 0.

Now, we can make this known in our equation like this:

y=7x+0

Or, for neatness' sake, we can just say

y=7x

which is your final equation.

The line through (\frac{-1}{2},  \frac{-7}{2}) and (2, 14) in slope-intercept form is <span>y=7x.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

A. A factory worker does not need a lot of education.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is " A " which is a factory worker does not need a lot of education. since most people don't have a PHD degree or anything higher education, it results in a lot of people joining due to the benefit of the factory worker doesn't need a lot of worker which makes it low in demand too.

Exponential form of 81/625
Vesnalui [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!

you number is: 81/625

We know that,

81=9×9

and

625=25×25

and............................................................

9×9 means 9^2

and 25×25 means 25^2

so, the exponential form of the question is,

=\frac{ {9}^{2} }{ {25}^{2} }

{we simply find exponential form by finding their fraction}
