Answer:

On the sixth day (10 - 4), the worm was 2.5mm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value= 40mm

Present Value= 2.5mm

Number of periods (n)= ?

Growth rate= 100% per day

<u>First, we need to calculate the number of days it will take to grow from 2.5mm (PV) to 40mm (FV):</u>

<u></u>

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)  

n= ln (40 / 2.5) / ln (2)

n= 4

It will take 4 days.

On the sixth day (10 - 4), the worm was 2.5mm long.

Find an equation of the plane that contains the points p(5,−1,1),q(9,1,5),and r(8,−6,0)p(5,−1,1),q(9,1,5),and r(8,−6,0).
topjm [15]
Given plane passes through:
p(5,-1,1), q(9,1,5), r(8,-6,0)

We need to find a plane that is parallel to the plane through all three points, we form the vectors of any two sides of the triangle pqr:
pq=p-q=<5-9,-1-1,1-5>=<-4,-2,-4>
pr=p-r=<5-8,-1-6,1-0>=<-3,5,1>

The vector product pq x pr gives a vector perpendicular to both pq and pr.  This vector is the normal vector of a plane passing through all three points
pq x pr
=
  i   j   k
-4 -2 -4
-3  5  1
=<-2+20,12+4,-20-6>
=<18,16,-26>

Since the length of the normal vector does not change the direction, we simplify the normal vector as
N = <9,8,-13>

The required plane must pass through all three points.
We know that the normal vector is perpendicular to the plane through the three points, so we just need to make sure the plane passes through one of the three points, say q(9,1,5).

The equation of the required plane is therefore
Π :  9(x-9)+8(y-1)-13(z-5)=0
expand and simplify, we get the equation
Π  :  9x+8y-13z=24

Check to see that the plane passes through all three points:
at p: 9(5)+8(-1)-13(1)=45-8-13=24
at q: 9(9)+8(1)-13(5)=81+9-65=24
at r: 9(8)+8(-6)-13(0)=72-48-0=24
So plane passes through all three points, as required.

Elliot has a total of 26 books. He has 12 more fiction books than nonfiction books. Let x represent the number of fiction books
Llana [10]
X and y are books
x is fiction
y=nonifiction

x+y=36


x=12+y

12+y+y=26
2y+12=26
minus 12
2y=14
divide 2
y=7


sub
x=12+y
x=12+7
x=19

nonfiction=7

**PLEASE HELP**
Sav [38]
Your answer would be "D", because when finding the GCF of a term, you want to take the most out of it. Following the procedure of D, finding the greatest shared factor of 10 and 15 and the greatest shared power between exponent 2 and exponent 3, would allow you to find the GCF.
