Answer:

135 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jose's height = x

The mean of their heights = 150

Given the Heights:

150cm, 170cm, 140cm, 155cm

The mean is the sum if the heights divided by the number of people

Here :

(150 + 170 + 140 + 155 + x) / 5 = 150

(615 + x) / 5 = 150

615 + x = 750

x = 750 - 615

x = 135 cm

A ribbon is 30cm long and it is cut into three pieces such that each piece is 2cm longer than the next. Represent this as an equ
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 pieces such that each piece is 2 cm longer then the next...

x , x + 2, x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30

3x + 6 = 30

3x = 30 - 6

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10

x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12

check...

8 + 10 + 12 = 30

18 + 12 = 30

30 = 30 (correct)...it checks out

the ribbon lengths are : 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm

The fish population of Lake Collins is decreasing at a rate of 5% per year. In 2004 there were about 1,350 fish. Write an expone
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Part 1) The exponential function is equal to y=1,350(0.95)^{x}

Part 2) The population in 2010 was  992\ fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Write an exponential decay function that models this situation

we know that

In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

y=a(b)^{x}

where

y ----> the fish population of Lake Collins since 2004

x ----> the time in years

a is the initial value

b is the base

we have

a=1,350\ fish

b=(100\%-5\%)=95\%=0.95

substitute

y=1,350(0.95)^{x} ----> exponential function that represent this scenario

Part 2) Find the population in 2010

we have

y=1,350(0.95)^{x}

so

For x=(2010-2004)=6\ years

substitute

y=1,350(0.95)^{6}=992\ fish

Two brothers, Kevin and Greg, each inherit S43000. Kevin invests his inheritance in a savings account with an annual return of 1
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

S1548.

Step-by-step explanation:

1-7% =- 0.017 and 5.3% - 0.053.

Kevin : After 1 year he has 43,000 * 0.017 = S731.

Greg:  After 1 year he has  43,000 * 0.053 =  S2279

Difference = 2279 - 731 = S1548.
