Vilka [71]3 years ago

Answer:

x=15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is given by

xy = k

Substituting x=5 and y=12

5*12 = k

60 =k

Our original equation is xy = 60

Now let y=32

x*32 = 60

Divide each side by 32

32x/32 = 60/32

Divide top and bottom by 4

x = 15/8

Answer:

The higher you go in the good chain the lower the population.

Explanation:

In the food web, there are only a few sharks since in the food chain they are higher. Just 10% energy is retained in the tissues once the energy is moved from one trophic level to another, and the leftover power is emitted as metabolic energy.

If an animal is high up the energy ladder, the individual has less resources; thus, a few of the highest predators are present in an ecosystem.

What is the 72nd term of -27, -11, 5
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

1109

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is -27, and the common difference is 16.

The nth term is:

a = a₁ + d (n − 1)

a = -27 + 16 (n − 1)

a = -27 + 16n − 16

a = 16n − 43

The 72nd term is:

a = 16(72) − 43

a = 1109
