Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
We have equation:
t=20x+31
x is number of years after 1997.
To calculate number of laptops in 2005:
x=2005-1997
x=8
t=20*8+31
t=160+31
t=191
In year 2005 school had 191 laptops.
Answer:
third answer is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
hello,
we need to compute
5*(-1)+(-2)*(-1)=-5+2=-3
-6*(-1)+(2)*(-1)=6-2=4
so the correct answer is
-3
4
hope this helps
Answer:
1.98 × 10^10
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve for how many text messages were sent out per one month:
22,000,000 × 900
19,800,000,000
Convert into scientific notation:
1.98 × 10^10
In scientific notation, there can only be one number before the decimal. The rest of the numbers must be after the decimal; hence, why I put the numbers 9 and 8 after the decimal. If the rest of the numbers are zeros, you do not have to add them after the decimal. Instead, starting from right to left, count the number places until you reach your decimal. The number you have counted will be your exponent. I counted nine 0's, one 8, and one 9 which made this exponent 10 as there were 10 decimal placements.
