Start by putting two coins on each side of the scale. If one side is higher, then the light coin must be in that pair (use a second weighing to determine which of that pair is the lightest.)
If the initial weighing shows the two pairs to be even, discard those four and go to the three others. Put two of the coins on the scale - one on each side. If one side stays higher, that coin is your light one. If however they are equal, the final unweighed coin must be the lighter coin.
Answer:
The value if this expression is 5,616 because it says it in the answer choice or box and the person did 12 times 13 and more
The first thing you should do for this case is to use the following table to perform the equation of a line:
y x
41,431 1995
48,729 2005
We have then that the line that best fits this data is
y = 729.8x - 1E + 06
Then, to know in what year the number of shopping centers reaches 80,000 we must replace this number in the equation of the line and clear x:
80000 = 729.8x - 1E + 06
Clearing x
x = (80000 + 1E + 06) / (729.8) = 1479.857495
nearest whole number
1480
This means that after 1480 years, 80000 shopping centers are reached.
Equivalently, this amount is reached in the year:
1480 + 1995 = 3475
In the year 3475
answer
(a) y = 729.8x - 1E + 06
(b) In the year 3475
Percent change=100 times change/original
change=original-new
change=90-84.50=5.5
percent change=100 times 5.5/90
percent change=550/90
percent change=6.11111
percent change=6.1%
Answer:
x-intercept:
A line that crosses the graph at x-axis.
i.e substitute y = 0 and solve for x.
As per the statement:
A biologist created the following graph to show the relationship between the temperature of water (x), in degrees Celsius, and the number of insect larvae (y) in the water
Given the graph:

Substitute y = 0 we have;

⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
By zero product property we have;
x-20 =0 and x+10 = 0
⇒x = 20 and x = -10
Therefore, the x-intercept represents the water has no larvae at −10 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius.
