Answer:

Number of fruit flies after 14 days is equal to 1880.

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

fruit flies at the beginning of the experiment = 200 fruit flies

rate of increase of fruit flies = 5 per hour

to calculate the number of flies after 14 days.

time = 14 days = 14 × 24 = 336 hours

flies after 14 days = initial number of flies + rate of increase  × time

                             = 200 + 5 × 336

                             = 1880 fruit flies.

hence,Number of fruit flies after 14 days is equal to 1880.

Two hot air balloons are traveling along the same path away from a town,
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Henry's balloon was farther from the town at the beginning and Henry's balloon traveled more quickly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of Tasha's balloon from the town is represented by the function y = 8x+ 20 ............. (1)

Where y is the distance in miles from the town and x represents the time of fly in hours.

So, at the start of the journey i.e. at x = 0, y = 20 miles {From equation (1)} from the town.

Again, Tasha's balloon is traveling at a rate of 8 miles per hour.

Now, Henry's balloon begins 30 miles from the town and is 48 miles from the town after 2 hours.

So, Henry's balloon traveling with the speed of  miles per hour.

Therefore, Henry's balloon was farther from the town at the beginning i.e. 30 miles from the town. And Henry's balloon traveled more quickly i.e at the rate of 9 miles per hour. (Answer)

Find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth. Answers : a.)12.5 b.)9.7 c.) 10.0 d.) 13.0
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Remember "SOH CAH TOA"


Sine = (Opposite/Hypotenuse)

Cosine = (Adjacent/Hypotenuse)

Tangent = (Opposite/Adjacent)


In this case, we will be using cosine, and our equation will be \frac{cos(28)}{1} =\frac{11}{x}


So firstly, cross-multiply. cos(28)*x=11


Next, divide both sides by cos(28), and your answer will be x=12.5
