Answer: 13,333 snowflakes
Step-by-step explanation:
 For this exercise let be "x" represents the number of snowflakes that will be in the fort.
 According to the information given in the exercise, the weight of one block is 1 kilogram. Knowing that the fort must have 40 blocks, the total weight is:
 
  Since each snowflake weighs  grams, need to divide the total weight calculated above by the weight of a snowfake.
 grams, need to divide the total weight calculated above by the weight of a snowfake.
 Therefore, through this procedure you get the following result:
 
 Therefore, the there will be 13,333 snowflakes in the fort.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
C) f(x) increases by 900%
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is 
f(4) - f(3)
---------------
4-3
f(4) = 9*4 = 36
f(3) = 9*3 = 27
36 -27
---------------
4-3
9
-----
1
The rate of change is 9
To change to a percent, multiply by 100%
9*100% = 900%

Answer:
   16) No
   17)  (c)
Step-by-step explanation:
For a lot of multiple-choice matrix problems, a simple test is all that is needed to determine the correct answer.
16) The determinant of A is (-2)(-2) -(2)(-3) = 10. So, we expect to see values in the inverse matrix that are 0.2 and 0.3. Alas, they're not there. The matrices are not inverses.
   A^-1 = [[-.2, .3][-.2, -.2]]
__
17) The matrices are both 3×3, so their product is possible (eliminates choice D). The upper left term is different among the answer choices, so we can determine the correct one by computing that term only.
   BA=C
   c11 = (5)(1) +(7)(5) +(3)(-1) = 5 +35 -3 = 37
This matches the third choice (C).
If you use a calculator to compute the full matrix product, it matches choice C in all details.
 
        
             
        
        
        
The number is 15,
I really don’t know if there’s such a strategy to find this out, I just used trial & error:
(a*4)+(a*3)=35
(5*4)+(5*3)=35
20+15=35
