Answer:

62

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with 2 people on day 1. On day 2 each one of them tells 2 other people, which means 4 new people are told the rumor. We can use the formula p(d)= n + n^n + n^(n+1) + n^(n+2).... d times, where p(d) is the number of people told the rumor on the day d, n being the Number of people told by each person every day, as well as the initial people. So the formula is

p(5)= 2 + 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^4 + 2^5 = 2+4+8+16+32 = 62

62 people are told the rumor on the fifth day.

Answer:

The scatter plot is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scatter plot, we graph the independent variable on the x-axis and the dependent variable on the y-axis.

In this case, age is independent and weight is dependent.

This means the points we plot are:

(7, 50); (7, 60); (8, 65); (8, 70); (9, 70); (9, 80); (10, 75); and (10, 90).

Can someone answer these? 2(4x+5)=8x+10<br>and<br>2(4v-9)-(3v-11)=-52
Irina18 [472]
For the first one, we will have to factor out the numbers. So 2 times 4x is 8x and 2 times 5 is 10. Our new expression will now be 8x + 10 = 8x + 10. Now, since these are equal, x must equal 1.
