Answer: The two odd integers are 17 and 19.

The correct option is (C) $2x+2=36.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 36.

Also, to select the equation that could be used to solve the problem.

Let x be one of the odd integers. Since any two odd integers differ by 2, so the other odd integer will be (x + 2).

According to the given information, we have

$x+(x+2)=36\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+2=36\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=36-2\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=34\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{34}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=17.$

And,

$x+2=17+2=19.$

Thus, the two odd integers are 17 and 19 and the required equation is

$2x+2=36.$

Option (C) is CORRECT.

2 consecutive odd integers...x and x + 2

x + (x + 2) = 36
2x + 2 = 36 <===

The concentration of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT - an infamous pesticide) in Lake Michigan has been declining exponenti

mojhsa [17]

Answer: A) $y=13e^{-0.1359t}$

B) H = 5.10

C) Yes

Step-by-step explanation: Exponential Decay function is a model that describes the reducing of an amount by a constant rate over time. Generally, it is written in the form: $y(t)=Ce^{rt}$

A) C is initial quantity, in this case, the initial concentration of DDT. To determine r, using the data given:

$y(t)=Ce^{rt}$

$2.22=13e^{13r}$

$e^{13r}=0.1708$

Using a natural logarithm property called power rule:

$13r=ln(0.1708)$

$r=\frac{ln(0.1708)}{13}$

$r=-0.1359$

The decay function for concentration of DDT through the years is $y(t)=13e^{-0.1359t}$

B) The value of H is calculated by $y=C(0.5)^{\frac{t}{H} }$

$2.22=13(0.5)^{\frac{13}{H} }$

$(0.5)^{\frac{13}{H} }=0.1708$

Again, using power rule for logarithm:

$\frac{13}{H} log(0.5)=log(0.1708)$

$\frac{13}{H} =\frac{log(0.1708)}{log(0.5)}$

$\frac{13}{H} =2.55$

H = 5.10

Constant H in the half-life formula is H=5.10

C) Using model $y(t)=13e^{-0.1359t}$ to determine concentration of DDT in 1995:

$y(24)=13e^{-0.1359.24}$

y(24) = 0.5

By 1995, the concentration of DDT is 0.5 ppm, so using this model is possible to reduce such amount and more of DDT.

A 20-foot ladder is placed against a vertical wall of a building, with the bottom of the ladder standing on level ground 6 feet

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

19.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This forms a right triangle

use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 6^2 = 20^2

a^2 + 36 = 400

a^2 = 364

a = 19.0787840283

Which of the following is the solution to 4/5 = 20/(x-5)?

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

x=30

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{20}{x-5} \\\\4(x-5)=20*5\\\\4x-20=20(5)\\\\4x=20(5)+20(1)\\\\4x=20(5+1)\\\\4x=20(6)\\\\x=\frac{20(6)}{4} \\\\x=5*6\\\\x=30$
