The Collatz conjecture is one of the most famous unsolved mathematical problems, because it's so simple, you can explain it to a

primary-school-aged kid, and they'll probably be intrigued enough to try and find the answer for themselves.

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I inferred you need a brief explanation about The Collatz conjecture.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Put simply, what the Collatz conjecture unsolved problem entails is that if any positive number is picked and it is:

  1. An even number (eg 2, 4, 6,...), then if they are divided by 2,  the new number gotten should undergo the same process (that is to be divided by 2), it is believed your calculation would finally end up at 1. For example, let's pick the number 6, (6÷2=4; repeating the process 4÷2=<u>1</u>)
  2. An odd number, then if they are multiplied by 3 and 1 is added to the result, it is believed that your calculation would finally end up at 1.

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
Alborosie
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one.  If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.

Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2).  The slope is thus
         7.2-17.4           -6
m = ---------------  =  -----------  or   -3/5.
           23-6                 10

Find the equation of the line.  I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b  =>   7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b.  Solving for b,   b = 21.

Now    we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21

Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.

y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches  (answer)

8,000 people try a shampoo. 16 people have a reaction. What percent of people have a reaction
Kitty [74]

if we divide 16 by 8000, we get 0.002

Times 0.002 with 100, and you will get your percent

0.002*100=0.2

16 is 0.2% of 8000
