Paul is gathering data about moss growth in a local forest. He measured an area of 11 square centimeters on one particular tree

and will come back in 6 months to measure the growth of the moss. If the area covered by moss multiplies by one and a half times each month, approximately how much area will the moss cover when Paul returns?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The area that moss cover when Paul returns is:

              125.296875\ \text{square\ centimeters}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The initial area that is measured by Paul about moss growth in a local forest is:  11 square centimeters.

We know that the increase in the area covered by moss is increasing exponentially.

Since each month it is increasing by a fixed constant 1.5 times as it was the previous month.

Hence, the function which represents the area covered by moss in x months is:

     A(x)=11\times (1.5)^x

We are asked to find the value of function when x=6

i.e.

A(x)=11\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\\\\\\A(x)=125.296875\ \text{square\ centimeters}

            Hence, the answer is:

            125.296875\ \text{square\ centimeters}

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

c = 4.211\cdot n

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear equation has the following form:

c = \frac{\Delta C}{\Delta n} \cdot n

Where:

n - Number of MBs of the data plan.

c - Monthly cost of the data plan.

The slope of the function is:

\frac{\Delta C}{\Delta n} = \frac{c}{n}

\frac{\Delta C}{\Delta n} = \frac{80\,MB}{19\,USD}

\frac{\Delta C}{\Delta n} = 4.211\,\frac{MB}{USD}

The equation is:

c = 4.211\cdot n

Ava is in charge of bringing bottled water to a party that has 42 guests.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

a - about 3 packs cause you have to round up

b - $50.76

Step-by-step explanation:

First you divide 42 and 18.

42/18=2.33

You have to round up cause you can't have half of a pack, you can't just buy half of a pack.

So, it is rounded to 3 packs.

Next you have to multiply the number of packs and the cost of each pack of water bottles.

16.92*3=$50.76

a - you have to buy 3 packs

b - the total cost is $50.76
