Answer:

<h2>See the explanation.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The initial length of the candle is 16 inch. It also given that, it burns with a constant rate of 0.8 inch per hour.

After one hour since the candle was lit, the length of the candle will be (16 - 0.8) = 15.2 inch.

After two hour since the candle was lit, the length of the candle will be (15.2 - 0.8) = 14.4 inch. The length of the candle after two hours can also be represented by {16 - 2(0.8)}.

Hence, the length of the candle after t hours when it was lit can be represented by the function, f(t) = 16 - 0.8t. f(t) = 0 at t = 20.

b.

The domain of the function is 0 to 20.

c.

The range is 0 to 16.

Which expression is equivalent to 7^5/7^2
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

You are correct my good sir! 7^5/7^2 expanded is (7x7x7x7x7)/(7x7)! another awesome thing to know for future reference is when dividing exponents with the same base you can simply subtract the exponents from each other! for example, 7^5/7^2=7^3! :D Hope This Helps!

A tree struck by lightning broke at a point 12 feet above the ground. What was the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a
algol13

Answer:

52.8 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram :

The height of tree woulb be :

Height above the ground (at breakpoint) + hypotenus

Hypotenus, h cab be obtained using Pythagoras rule :

h² = opp² + adj²

h² = 39² + 12²

h² = 1665

h = sqrt(1665)

h = 40.804 feets

Height of tree to the nearest tenth ;

40.804 feets + 12 feets

= 52.804 feets

= 52.8 feets

Please help me!!<br> I need to find the point!!!! (x,y)
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

x=2 y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

you can solve this with the elimination process

-10x+6y=-32

-6x+6y=-24

you can multiply the bottom equation by a -1

-10x+6y=-32

-1(-6x+6y=-24)

making it

-10x+6y=-32

6x-6y=24

this allows you to cancel out 6y because 6y-6y=0

so you are left with

-10x=-32

6x=24

add them

-10x=-32

+6x=24

________

-4x=-8

divide by -4=2

x=2

plug that into the original equation

-10(2)+6y=-32

-6(2)+6y=-24

=

-20+6y=-32

-12+6y=-24

add them

-20+6y=-32

+-12+6y=-24

_________

-32+6y=-56

add 32

-56+32=-24

y=-24
