Answer:
B. 50 times greater
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
size of phytoplankton = 2 × 10⁻⁶ in
size of sand grain = 1 × 10⁻⁴ in
Determine how many times longer the grain of sand is than the phytoplankton.
Divide the sand size by the phytoplankton size, to find out how much greater the sand is.
This can be done by equating it as follows;
2 × 10⁻⁶ (y) = 1 × 10⁻⁴
Therefore, the grain of sand is 50 times greater than the phytoplankton
B. 50 times greater
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
P(5) - P(3) = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>
Assume that P(x) is a linear function, that because the sum of P(2x),
P(4x), and P(6x) is linear ⇒ (24x - 6 is linear)
∵ The form of the linear function is y = ax + b
∴ P(x) = ax + b
Substitute x by 2x
∵ P(2x) = a(2x) + b
∴ P(2x) = 2ax + b
Substitute x by 4x
∵ P(4x) = a(4x) + b
∴ P(4x) = 4ax + b
Substitute x by 6x
∵ P(6x) = a(6x) + b
∴ P(6x) = 6ax + b
Add the three functions
∴ P(2x) + P(4x) + P(6x) = 2ax + b + 4ax + b + 6ax + b
Add like terms
∴ P(2x) + P(4x) + P(6x) = 12ax + 3b ⇒ (1)
∵ P(2x) + P(4x) + P(6x) = 24x - 6 ⇒ (2)
Equate (1) and (2)
∴ 12ax + 3b = 24x - 6
By comparing the two sides
∴ 12a = 24 and 3b = -6
∵ 12a = 24
Divide both sides by 12
∴ a = 2
∵ 3b = -6
Divide both sides by 3
∴ b = -2
Substitute these values in P(x)
∵ P(x) = ax + b
∴ P(x) = 2x + (-2)
∴ P(x) = 2x - 2
Now we can find P(5) - P(3)
∵ P(5) = 2(5) - 2 = 10 - 2 = 8
∵ P(3) = 2(3) - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4
∴ P(5) - P(3) = 8 - 4 = 4
* P(5) - P(3) = 4
The area for a trapezoid is
