We need to figure out how much string would be left, after taking away the first two pieces.
We know that the first piece is 20 inches long, so we can say that there is 52-20 inches left, or 32 inches.
The second piece is between 12 and 18 inches, meaning that there would be between 32-12 and 32-18 inches left for the third piece, or 20 and 14 inches. This means that the third piece would be at least 14 inches long, but no more than 20, since we don’t have more string than that (20+12+20=52, and 20+14+18=52)
So we can say that x is greater or equal to 14, but less than or equal to 20, or:
14<=x<=20 (“<=“ is written like a normal “<“ sign with a line _ right under it)
Answer: There are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Initial population = 570000
Rate at which population decreases is given by
Now,
First year =570000
Second year is given by
Third year is given by
so, there is common ratio ,
it becomes geometric progression, as there is exponential decline.
so,
a=570000
common ratio is given by
number of terms = 6
Sum of terms will be given by
We'll put this value in this formula,
So, there are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.
Answer:
19th day
Step-by-step explanation:
So say Lily was 1 when Lily was planted
First day Lily is 2
Second day Lily is 4
Third day Lily is 8
etc...
See the pattern?
The pattern is 2^x
On the 20th day, Lily was 2^20
So when Lily was half, Lily was 2^20 / 2
2^x = 2^20 / 2
2^x = 2^19
On the 19th day, Lily was half.
