Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of
the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
Let x be the amount of time in hours
Let y be the heoght of a candle in centimeters
The two points are then as (9,24.5) and (23,17.5).














Now plug in x=21, we get

Thus the height of the candle after 21 hours is 18.5 centimeters.
Answer:
150 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram shown gives us a picture of two similar right triangle.
The height of the man is similar to the height of the platform.
To find the height of the platform, multiply the height of the man by the scale factor.
Scale factor = the ratio of any corresponding sides of two similar triangles.
Scale factor = 100 ft ÷ 4 ft = 25
Height of man = 6ft
Therefore, height of platform = 6 ft × 25 = 150 ft
Answer:
-2, 0, 1/2, 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
use the formula sn= n(a1+an)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2982=28(228+an)/2
5964=28(228+an)
5964/28=228+an
213=228+an
an=-15(last term)
to find difference use formula
an = a+(n-1)d
-15=228+(28-1)d
-243=27d
d=-243/27
d=-9
arithmetic sequence can be found be keep on subtracting 9 from 228
hence the arithmetic sequence is
228, 219, 210, 201, 192, 183, 174........-15
Um....Where is the question.....or is that it
