Answer: 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of pencils that Jackson has be represented by x.
Since 20% of his pencils are broken which equals 4. This can be written and represented in an equation as:
20% of x = 4
20/100 × x = 4
0.2x = 4
x = 4/0.2
x = 20
There are a total of 20 pencils
 
        
             
        
        
        
7 < x. Here, you can solve the inequality by multiplying 2 by each quantity in the parentheses to get -18 < 24 - 6x. You can subtract -24 from both sides to get -42 < -6x. Then, you can divide each side by -6 and flip the inequality, and this leaves you with x > 7. You would check this answer by choosing a number greater than but close to 7, using the original equation. 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The rate of change of temperature is 1.29 degree Celsius per second.   
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
The temperature at a point (x, y) is T(x, y), measured in degrees Celsius where x and y are measured in centimeters.


We have to find the rate at which the temperature is rising on the bug's path after 14 seconds.
At t = 14 seconds, we have,

To find rate of change of temperature, we differentiate,

Thus, the rate of change of temperature is 1.29 degree Celsius per second.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The coordinates of B is (3, - 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
A(6, 1)
C(2, -7)
Coordinates of point B such that AB = 1/3 × BC
Hence we have;

Therefore BC = 3/4 × AC
Hence, AB = 1/3 × BC = 1/3 × 3/4 × AC = 1/4 × AC
AC = √((6 - 2)² + (1 - (-7))²) = √(16 + 64) = √80 = 4·√5
AB = 1/4 × 4·√5 = √5
Therefore;
AB² = (x - 6)² + (y - 1)² = 5
Slope = (1 - (-7))/(6 - 2) = 2
Hence the y coordinate of B = -7 + sin(tan⁻¹(2)) ×√5 = -5
The x coordinate of B = 2 + cos(tan⁻¹(2)) ×√5 = 3
The coordinates of B = (3, - 5)
