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

Graph the following equation: y = -4x + 2​
padilas [110]

To find graph this, you need to understand the equation.

The formula is y=mx+b, m being slope and b being y-intercept.

We start out graphing by finding where the y-intercept is--and we see that our intercept is 2. Place a point on (0, 2).

Now, we need to add our slope. Start at (0, 2) and go up 4 units. Next go to the LEFT (we have a negative slope, remember?). Continue this pattern.

It should look like this once it's done:

Answer: Velveeta

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate is basically the price for a single slice. This being said you would divide 2.50 by 10 and you would get .25, then you would do 4.00 by 20 which would be .20. So the better deal would be Velveeta.

Pam’s eye-level height is 324 ft above sea level, and Adam’s eye-level height is 400 ft above sea level. How much farther can Ad
Tanzania [10]

Answer: The answer is √6 mi.

The formula is: d = √(3h/2)

Pam:

h = 324 ft

d = √(3 * 324/2) = √486 = √(81 * 6) = √81 * √6 = 9√6 mi

Adam:

h = 400 ft

d = √(3 * 400/2) = √600 = √(100 * 6) = √100 * √6 = 10√6 mi

How much farther can Adam see to the horizon?

Adam - Pam = 10√6 - 9√6 = √6 mi

What is the length of the curve with parametric equations x = t - cos(t), y = 1 - sin(t) from t = 0 to t = π? (5 points)
zzz [600]

Answer:

B) 4√2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Calculus</u>

Differentiation

  • Derivatives
  • Derivative Notation

Basic Power Rule:

  1. f(x) = cxⁿ
  2. f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Parametric Differentiation

Integration

  • Integrals
  • Definite Integrals
  • Integration Constant C

Arc Length Formula [Parametric]:                                                                         \displaystyle AL = \int\limits^b_a {\sqrt{[x'(t)]^2 + [y(t)]^2}} \, dx

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

\displaystyle \left \{ {{x = t - cos(t)} \atop {y = 1 - sin(t)}} \right.

Interval [0, π]

<u>Step 2: Find Arc Length</u>

  1. [Parametrics] Differentiate [Basic Power Rule, Trig Differentiation]:         \displaystyle \left \{ {{x' = 1 + sin(t)} \atop {y' = -cos(t)}} \right.
  2. Substitute in variables [Arc Length Formula - Parametric]:                       \displaystyle AL = \int\limits^{\pi}_0 {\sqrt{[1 + sin(t)]^2 + [-cos(t)]^2}} \, dx
  3. [Integrand] Simplify:                                                                                       \displaystyle AL = \int\limits^{\pi}_0 {\sqrt{2[sin(x) + 1]} \, dx
  4. [Integral] Evaluate:                                                                                         \displaystyle AL = \int\limits^{\pi}_0 {\sqrt{2[sin(x) + 1]} \, dx = 4\sqrt{2}
