The control could be sunlight, water, temperature, or the type of soil, but i would have to go with a main one, the type of plant, tomato plant. hope i helped.

First, the biologist must define the variables:

Dependent- this is what will be measured. So the biologist may want to measure the weight and height of the tomatoes, or the leaf area or the time it will produce the fruit.

Independent- this is what will differ in the experiment and what the biologist thinks will affect the dependent variable. In this case, the biologist will use new fertilizer on plant A, old fertilizer on plant B, and no fertilizer on plant C.
Controlled- these variables must be held constant because the biologist doesn’t want other factors to affect the growth of the tomato plant, thus, destroying the purpose of the experiment, tomato plant A, B, and C will have equal amounts of soil, water, and carbon dioxide, and exposure to sunlight.

After his experimentation, he will conclude which of the plant has better weight, growth, leaf, and fruit. If Plant A is the best tomato plant of them all, then he can say that the new fertilizer is more effective.

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is
Yuri [45]

Answer:

x= 44 ounces y = 66 ounces  

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution would be an increase to find 80% salt.

Where we use 4/5 = 80 but use here 4/5.

We find 19/20 but just say 95 for solution B =

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 110        y = 110 - x

(70x + 95y) = 4/5 x 110

70x + 95y = 88    

70x + 95 y = 88

70x + 95 (88 - x) = 8800 make units equal or for start convert decimalization = same units as 2nd multiplied value.

70x + 8360 - 88x = 8800

-10x - 8360 - 8800 = y

-10x = 440

x = 44 ounces

y = 110- 44

y =  66 ounces

A $16,000 robot depreciates linearly to zero in 10 years. (a) find a formula for its value as a function of time, t, in years.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

We are given, cost of the robot for 0 number of year = $16,000.

0 represents initial time of the robot.

After 10 year cost of the robot is = $0

The problem is about the number of the years and cost of the robot over different number of years.

So, we could take x coordinate by number of hours and y coordinate for y number of hours.

So, from the problem, we could make two coordinates for the given situation.

(x1,y1) = (0, 16000) and (x2,y2) = (10, 0).

In order to find the function of time, we need to find the rate at which robot rate depreciates each year.

Slope is the rate of change.

So, we need to find the slope of the two coordinates we wrote above.

We know, slope formula

Slope (m) = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Plugging values in formula, we get

m=\frac{0-16000}{10-0} = \frac{-16000}{-10} = -1600.

Brecasue of depreciation we got a negative number for slope or rate of change.

Therefore, rate of depreciation is $1600 per year.

We already given inital cost, that is $16,000.

So, we can setup an a function

f(x) = -1600x + 16000.

But the problem is asked to take the variable t for time.

Replacing x by t, we get

f(t) = -1600t + 16000.

After breaking your penny bank, you notice that you have $4.87 in quarters ($0.25), dimes ($0.10), nickels ($0.05), and pennies
ira [324]

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes  be 'x'.

Let the number of nickels  be '\dfrac{3}{2}x'.

Let the number of pennies be \dfrac{3}{2}\times 2x=3x

Let the number of quarters be '3x-34'.

As we know that

1 quarter = $0.25

1 dime = $0.10

1 nickel = $0.05

1 penny = $0.01

According to question, we get that

0.10x+0.05\times \dfrac{3x}{2}+0.01\times 3x+0.25(3x-34)=4.87\\\\0.10x+0.075x+0.03x+0.75x-8.5=4.87\\\\\\0.955x=4.87+8.5\\\\0.955x=13.37\\\\x=\dfrac{13.37}{0.955}\\\\x=14

So, the number of pennies is given by

3x=3\times 14=42

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
