Answer:

<h2>  2.11¢</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are expected to solve the weighted average price per kilowatt hour.

Step one:

The formula is  

W =∑wX/∑w

W=weighted average  

w=weights applied to x values

X=data values to be averaged

Step two:

given the total killowatt hour is 1800

the 1st = 500 at 3¢

2nd= 1000 at 2¢

3rd = (1800-1000+500) at 1¢ =(1800-1500) at 1¢ = (300) at 1¢

Step two:

Substituting into the expression we have

W =(500*3)+(1000*2)+(300*1)/500+1000+300

W=1500+2000+300/1800

W=3800/1800

W=2.11¢

The average price per kilowatt hour the utility paid to Mr. Vestas last month is 2.11¢

If (5^2)p = 5^12, what is the value of p?
mr Goodwill [35]
Divide both sides by 5^2 (which is 25). So p = (5^12)/25. I can't be bothered to plug in into a calculator but be my guest.

write the slope-intercept form of the line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of -4. include your work in your final answer.
IgorLugansk [536]
I cant really show you how to graph this but i can try to explain it. you would make a 4 quadrant graph and do rise over run.
1)start by making the graph
2) on the line of the graph marked Y is where you would put -4
3) From -4, you would go up (rise) by 2 and go over to the right 1 where you end is the slop

The volume of a cube is 27n^27 cubic units. What is the length of one side of the cube?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The volume of a cube (V) is given in terms of its side length (s) as

... V = s³

You have

... 27n²⁷ = s³

You may recognize that 27 = 3³, so this can be written as

3^3\cdot n^{3\cdot 9} = \left(3n^{9}\right)^{3}=s^{3}\\\\3n^{9}=s\qquad\mbox{taking cube roots}

This result matches your second selection

... 3n⁹ units
