well, Marcus and Ben are both 5 feet tall and a little bit more, Marcus is 19/24 more and Ben is 9/16 more, so the 5's in the fraction are the same, so which one is larger, 19/24 or 9/16?
we can simply put both fractions with the same denominator, by <u>multiplying one by the other's denominator</u>, so let's proceed,

Answer:
See attached picture.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is in point slope form
where m is the slope and
is a point.
For the equation y-2 = 23(x+4), graph the point (-4,2). Then from this point count up 23 and over to the right 1.
This is the graph of the line.
To solve this, we are going to use the recursive formula for a geometric sequence:

where

is the nth term of the geometric sequence.

is the first term of the geometric sequence.

is the common ratio

is the position of the term in the sequence.
We know that the starting salary is $42,000, so

. Now, to find the common ratio

, we need to find the next term in the sequence first:
We know from our problem that t<span>he company automatically gives a raise of 3% per year, so the next term in the sequence will be 42000 + 3%(42000) = 42000 + 1260 = 43260. Remember that the common ratio is the current term of the geometric sequence divided by the previous term of the sequence; we know that our current term is 43260 and the previous term is 42000, so:
</span>


<span>Now we can plug the values in our recursive formula:
</span>


We can conclude that the recursive definition for the geometric sequence formed by the salary increase is:

Answer:
It will take 8 minutes for the temperature to reach 76°
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression for the total temperature in degrees at time t can be written as;
T=I+EM
where;
T=total temperature
I=initial temperature
E=temperature increase per minute
M=number of minutes
This can also be written as;
total temperature=initial temperature+temperature increase per minute×number of minutes
In our case;
T=76°
I=40°
E=4.5°
M=m
replacing;
76=40+(4.5×m)
4.5 m=76-40=36
(4.5 m)/4.5=36/4.5
m=8
It will take 8 minutes for the temperature to reach 76°
