Answer: 29 cans.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 can survive 24 days with 15 cans.

If X is the number of days that a man can survive with one can of rations.

so X is in the units can/day

then we have that:

24/15*X = 20

X = 20*15/24 = 12.5

This means that a man can live 12.5 days with a can of food.

then, for 16 men and 36 days we have:

(36/C)*12.5 = 16

C = (36/16)*12.5 = 28.1215

And we can not have a 0.1215 of a can, so we should round it up to 29 cans.

Find the missing side lengths​
Alik [6]
For this triangle in particular, we can use the special rules of a 30-60-90 triangle

This says:
The opposite side of 30° is: x
The opposite side of 60° is: x * sqrt(3)
The opposite side of the 90° is: 2x

We have our side length for 90° so we just have to work backwards
To find our 30° side length we must divide by 2
8/2 = 4
Which means your y = 4

Now that we have our 30° side length we can just multiple it by sqrt(3)

That means your x = 4 sqrt(3)

Jolene invests her savings in two bank accounts, one paying 4 percent and the other paying 10 percent simple interest per year.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

<h2>$ 22200 in higher yielding bank and $ 44400 in lower yielding bank</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

       Jolene invests in two bank accounts. The first account gives a 4% interest per year and the second bank gives a 10% interest rate per year.

       She puts twice as much in the lower yielding bank account. Let us denote the amount put in high yielding bank account by x. Lower yielding bank account will have 2x.

       Interest\text{ }per\text{ }year=Principal\times Interest\text{ }rate

Interest from lower yielding bank = \dfrac{4}{100} \times 2x=\dfrac{8x}{100}

Interest from higher yielding bank = \dfrac{10}{100} \times x=\dfrac{10x}{100}

Total Interest per year = $ 3996 = \dfrac{8x}{100} +\dfrac{10x}{100}=\dfrac{18x}{100}

x=22200 \$

∴ Jolene invested $ 22200 in higher yielding bank and $ 44400 in lower yielding bank.

Determine the number of x-intercepts that appear on a graph of each function. f (x) = (x - 6)2(x + 2)2
Tpy6a [65]
<span>The number of x-intercepts that appear on the graph of  the function
</span>f(x)=(x-6)^2(x+2)^2 is two (2): x=6 (multiplicity 2) and x=-2 (multiplicity 2)


Solution
x-intercepts:
f(x)=0→(x-6)^2 (x+2)^2 =0

Using that: If a . b =0→a=0 or b=0; with a=(x-6)^2 and b=(x+2)^2

(x-6)^2=0
Solving for x. Square root both sides of the equation:
sqrt[ (x-6)^2] = sqrt(0)→x-6=0
Adding 6 both sides of the equation:
x-6+6=0+6→x=6 Multiplicity 2

(x+2)^2=0
Solving for x. Square root both sides of the equation:
sqrt[ (x+2)^2] = sqrt(0)→x+2=0
Subtracting 2 both sides of the equation:
x+2-2=0-2→x=-2 Multiplicity 2
