The stalactites become 0.004 + 0.006 = 0.01 inches closer each year, and begin 10 feet apart, or 120 inches apart.
let y be the distance between them, and x be the number of years that go by:
y = -0.01x + 120
We want to find where y = 0, where they meet:
0 = -0.01x + 120 Add 0.01x to both sides
0.01x = 120 Multiply both sides by 100
x = 12,000
The stalagmite and stalactite will meet in 12,000 years
Answer:
do u still need help on this
Answer:
Is the w2, w(2) or

?
If it's w(2) the answer is -4--8+1=-4+8+1=5
if it's w^2 then the answer would be 4--8+1=4+8+1=13
The value of Y would be -5 = 2y
Well the answer options are a bit confusing but the steps are 1, 2, & 3.
