Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2n can be the smallest integer, and 2n + 18 will be the largest integer.

The sum of this, divided by two, will result in the average/mean.

(2n + 2n + 18)/2 = 3

Multiply each side by 2:

(2n + 2n + 18)/2 ⋅ 2 = 3 ⋅ 2

2n + 2n + 18 = 6

Combine the like terms:

4n + 18 = 6

Subtract 18 from both sides:

4n + 18 - 18 = 6 - 18

4n = -12

Divide each side by 4:

4n/4 = -12/4

n = -3

Since we decided to go by 2n:

2n = 2(-3) = <u>-6</u>

A typical cup of coffee contains about 100 mg of caffeine and every hour approximately 16% ofthe amount of caffeine inthe body i

Over [174]

Answer:

a) $\frac{dC}{dt} = rC$

And for this case we can rewrite the model like this:

$\frac{dC}{C} = r dt$

If we integrate both sides we got:

$ln C = rt + k$

If we use exponentials for both sides we got:

$C = e^{rt} e^k = C_o e^{rt}$

For this case $C_o = 100 mg$ and r = -0.16

So then our model would be given by:

$C(t) = 100 e^{-0.16 t}$

Where t represent the number of hours

b) $C(5) = 100 e^{-0.16*5}= 44.9329$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we can assume the proportional model given by:

$\frac{dC}{dt} = rC$

And for this case we can rewrite the model like this:

$\frac{dC}{C} = r dt$

If we integrate both sides we got:

$ln C = rt + k$

If we use exponentials for both sides we got:

$C = e^{rt} e^k = C_o e^{rt}$

For this case $C_o = 100 mg$ and r = -0.16

So then our model would be given by:

$C(t) = 100 e^{-0.16 t}$

Where t represent the number of hours

Part b

For this case we can replace the value t=5 into the model and we got:

$C(5) = 100 e^{-0.16*5}= 44.9329$

What is x and y? 2x-2y=-4 2x+y=11 Is there infinitely many solutions, 1 solution, or no solution? solve by elimination.

Kaylis [27]

Let's solve your system by substitution.

2x−2y=−4;2x+y=11

Rewrite equations:

2x+y=11;2x−2y=−4

Step: Solve2x+y=11for y:

2x+y=11

2x+y+−2x=11+−2x(Add -2x to both sides)

y=−2x+11

Step: Substitute−2x+11foryin2x−2y=−4:

2x−2y=−4

2x−2(−2x+11)=−4

6x−22=−4(Simplify both sides of the equation)

6x−22+22=−4+22(Add 22 to both sides)

6x=18

6x/6 = 18/6

(Divide both sides by 6)

x=3

Step: Substitute3forxiny=−2x+11:

y=−2x+11

y=(−2)(3)+11

y=5(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=3 and y=5

3x+6y=24<br><br>find the x intercept of the equation

andrezito [222]

Answer: x= 8-2y

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+6y=24

Subtract 6y from both sides

3x=24−6y

Divide both sides by 3

3/3x = 24-6y/3

Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3

x=24-6y/3

Divide 24−6y by 3.

The final answer comes out as x=8-2y. Hope this helped!
