Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of caterpillars.

Since each catepillar eats 7 leaves,

Wesley have 7n number of leaves.

In this case 7n = 42, so n = 6.

Answer: 7n = 42, n = 6.

Explanation:

Every caterpillar eats 7 milkweed leaves. That means n is the number of caterpillars Wesley feeds every day. Since we know 7n is equal to 42, n = 6 because 42 ÷ 7 = 6.

Example of an irrational number that is less than 2 and greater than 1.5
disa [49]

For this case, the first thing you should do is take into account the irrational number definition.

An irrational number is one that can not be written as the quotient between two whole numbers.

Their number of decimals is unlimited and they are not periodic.

An irrational number within the specified domain is:

π/2 = 1.570796327    

Answer:

an example of an irrational number that is less than 2 and greater than 1.5 is:

π/2 = 1.570796327

Which expression will determine the perimeter, in inches, of the rectangle? O 10 x 7 10 + 7 O (2 x 7) + (2 x 10) O 10 x 7 x 7 x
fredd [130]

Answer:

(2 * 7) + (2 * 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing details in the question are:

Length = 10

Width = 7

Required

The perimeter

This is calculated as:

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

So, we have:

Perimeter = 2 * (10 + 7)

Open bracket

Perimeter = 2 * 10 + 2 * 7

Rewrite as:

Perimeter = (2 * 7) + (2 * 10)

Use linear approximation to estimate f (2.85 )given that f (3 )equals 2 and f prime (3 )equals 5.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

f(3) = 2

f'(3) = 5.

We want to estimate f(2.85)

The linear approximation of "f" at "a" is one way of writing the equation of the tangent line at "a".

At x = a, y = f(a) and the slope of the tangent line is f'(a).

So, in point slope form, the tangent line has equation

y − f(a) = f'(a)(x − a)

The linearization solves for y by adding f(a) to both sides

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x − a).

Given that,

f(3) = 2,

f'(3) = 5

a = 3, we want to find f(2.85)

x = 2.85

Therefore,

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x − a)

f(2.85) = 2 + 5(2.85 - 3)

f(2.85) = 2 + 5×-0.15

f(2.85) = 2 - 0.75

f(2.85) = 1.25
