Answer:
S(t) = 2 - 0.25*t
Step-by-step explanation:
A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a 2-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months.
When spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate.
S(t) denote the ice sheet's thickness S ( measured in meters) as a function of time (measured in weeks).
Therefore the equation formed will be linear.
The equation will be of the form y = mx + b
Here S(t) = mt + b
Here m is the slope which is the rate at which ice is melting.
Putting t = 0
S(t) = 2
Putting t = 3,
S(t) = 1.25
Therefore, m*0 + b = 2 or, b = 2
and 3m + b = 1.25
or, 3m = 1.25 - 2 = -0.75
or, t = -0.25
Hence, function's formula = S(t) = -0.25*t + 2
i.e. S(t) = 2 - 0.25*t
the pattern is that you take each number and multiply it by 3
You would take 1818÷33=55.09
55.09 is how many toothpicks it took for each step made
Then you would take 55.09×55=3029.95
You can make sure this is correct by taking 55.09×33=1817.97 which would actually be 1818 because you had to round it up
Yes, 13•150=1950 and then 11•60=660 so combined they equal 2610
Answer:
c = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4 + cy) = 12y + 8
8 + 2cy = 12y + 8
12y + 8 = 8 + 2cy
12y - 2cy = 8 - 8
2y (6 - c) = 0
Divide through by 2y
(6 - c) = 0
c = 6
