Answer: it will take 9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The water level was initially at 34feet it was receding at the rate of a foot per day. The rate at which it was receding is linear, thus, it is in an arithmetic progression. The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as

Tn = a+(n-1)d

Where

a is the first term if the sequence

d is the common difference

n is the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = 34 feet because it is the initial height

n is the number of days it will take to get to 26 ft

d = -1 because it is decreasing by 1 foot per day.

Tn = T26 = 26 feet. Therefore, the equation will be

Tn = 34 -1(n-1)

To find for T26,

26= 34 + (n - 1)-1

26 - 34 = -n + 1

n - 1 = 8

n = 8 + 1 = 9

When analyzing three linear functions, Michele noticed that they all intersected at the point (5, 3). What conclusion can Michel
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: option B. it has the highest y-intercept.

Explanation:

1) point -slope equation of the line

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

2) Replace (x₁, y₁) with the point (5,3):

y - 5 = m (x - 3)

3) Expand using distributive property and simplify:

y - 5 = mx - 3m ⇒ y = mx + 5 - 3m

4) Compare with the slope-intercept equation of the line: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

⇒ slope = m

⇒ b = 5 - 3m = y - intercept.

Therefore, for the same point (5,3), the greater m (the slope of the line) the less b (the y-intercept); and the smaller m (the slope) the greater the y - intercept.

Then, the conclusion is: the linear function with the smallest slope has the highest y-intercept (option B).

A minor league baseball team plays 128 games a seanson. If the tam won 16 more than three times as many games as they lost how m
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: The team won 100 games and losses 28 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of games won denoted by x and the games lost is denoted by y .

Given : A minor league baseball team plays 128 games in a season.

Team won 16 more than three times as many games as they lost.

Then, the system of equations, we have

x+y=128-------(1)\\\\x=3y+16------------(2)

We can rewrite equation (2) as x-3y=16----------------(3)

Now, Eliminate equation (3) from (1), we get

y-(-3y)=128-16\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4y=112\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{112}{4}=28

Substitute the value of y in (2), we get

x=3(28)+16=84+16=100

Hence, the team won 100 games and losses 28 games.

Explain why in a drawer containing only two different colors of socks one must draw only three socks to find a matching pair
Greeley [361]
As pair means that 2 socks with the same color need to be drawn for it to be identified as a pair.
However there is a probability that if u only pick 2 socks, then they could kid each have different COLORS.
By picking 3 socks (bearing in mind there are only 2 types of color) it’s guaranteed that two socks will have the same color.
