See the plants grow in airthemetic progression.
day 1 its is 1 and day 2 it is 2, day 3 it is 4.......
so,
1,2,4,6,8,......
so it take 48 days to fill the pond..
total plants = 48/2(2*1+(48-1)*2)
total plants= 2304
so half the plants is 1152
so,
1152=n/2(2*1+(n-1)2)
n=47
it so 47 days to complete half the pond.

The day before it is full it will be half full ( bacuse it doubles in size every day)

So the answer is 47 days

Math help please? Please explain because I'm really confused
Tasya [4]
The answer is the letter b cos u = 1 /sec u

When you use it in the left side of the identity that you want to verify, sec y cos y = 1 , you get this:

sec y cos y            =  1

[sec y ] [ 1 / sec y ] =  1

[sec y] / [sec y]       =  1

         1                    = 1 which proves the idenity.

Find the value of x don’t understand how to do this
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x=56

Step-by-step explanation:

I may be wrong but

That’s a pentagon so

5-2=3

180x3=540 ( total area of a pentagon)

89+99+72= 260

540-260=280

3+2=5

280/5=56

x=56

Please help!! will mark branliest

Answer:

a. After the first bounce, the ball will be at 85% of 8 ft. After 2 bounces, it'll be at 85% of 85% of 8 feet. After 3 bounces, it'll be at (85% of) (85% of) (85% of 8 feet).  You can see where this is going. After n bounces the ball will be at

h(n) = (85\%)^n 6ft = (\frac{17}{20})^n(6ft\times 12\frac{in}{ft}) = (\frac{17}{20})^n\times72'

b. After 8 bounces we can apply the previous formula with n = 8 to get

h(8)=(\frac{17}{20})^8\times 72' = 19.62'

c. The solution to this point requires using exponential and logarithm equations; a more basic way would be trial and error using the previous h(n)increasing the value of n until we find a good value. I recommend using a spreadsheet for that; the condition will lead to the following inequality:

1>(\frac{17}{20})^n\times 72 Let's first isolate the fraction by dividing by 72.

(\frac{17}{20})^n  Now, to get numbers we can plug in a calculator, let's take the natural logarithm of both sides:

ln ((\frac{17}{20})^n) < ln \frac 1{72} \rightarrow n\times ln (\frac{17}{20}) < -ln72. Now the two quantities are known - or easy to get with any calculator, replacing them and solving for n we get:

-(0.16)n < - 4.27 \rightarrow n>26.31 Now, since n is an integer - you can't have a fraction of a bounce after all, you pick the integer right after that, or n>27.
