Using a spectrometer, a sample was analyzed to have a percent transmittance of 85%. This means that the remainder of the light was absorbed by the sample given in the question.

Now, from the 100% light that has been incident on the sample, if 85% was transmitted, then the percentage of light was actually absorbed by the sample can be found out as:

percentage of light was actually absorbed by the sample=100% - (percentage of light transmitted by the sample)

Therefore, percentage of light was actually absorbed by the sample=100%-85%=15%

Thus, 15% light was actually absorbed by the sample.

In ABC, what is the value of x<br><br> 5.5<br> 6.5<br> 55<br> 65
vekshin1

<em>Answer:</em>

( B ) x = 6.5

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

We know that all the angles of a triangle equal 180 when added together. So lets make an equation for this question.

(10x-10) + (10x+8) + 8x = 180

I just took all the angles and added them together to make 180. Now solve for x.

10x - 10 + 10x + 8 + 8x = 180 <em>(combined like terms)</em>

28x -2 = 180 <em>(added 2 to both sides)</em>

28x = 182 <em>(divided both sides by 28)</em>

x = 6.5

A population of 249 birds increases at a rate of 16% annually. jewel writes and exponential function of the form f(x)=abc to rep
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

a = 249 and b = 1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The exponential function for growth is:  y=a(1+ r)^x

Here, a is the initial value and r is the rate of change.

It is given that the number of birds is 249.

It means a = 249

The rate is given 16%

r=0.16

Put the value of a and r in the above formula.

y=249(1+0.16)^x

y=249(1.16)^x

Now we will compare it with the exponential function form y=ab^x

Therefore, a = 249 and b = 1.16

Find an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence -2,-14,-26,-38,...
slava [35]

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can just try and find what works! since we can subtract 12 from -2 and get -14, we might try subtracting 12 every time. After we test it out, we see that is is correct!
