Answer:

-5 degrees per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In 10 hours, the temperature dropped -50 degrees (38 + 12, and make it negative because the temperature went down, not up).

So divide -50 by 10

-50/10 = -5

Over the course of a month, Katniss caught three times as many squirrels as deer. She also caught five less rabbits than squirre

NeTakaya

Answer:

She caught 10 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Rabbits with R; Squirrels with S and Deer with D

$S = 3D$

$S = R - 5$

$S + R+ D = 10 +4D$

Required

Determine the value of R

$S + R+ D = 10 +4D$

Solve for R

$R = 10 + 4D - D - S$

$R = 10 + 3D - S$

Recall that $S = 3D$

Substitute 3D for S

$R = 10 + 3D - 3D$

$R = 10$

Hence;

<em>She caught 10 rabbits</em>

Ashley has a sprinkler that has several varieties of coverage. The quarter circle sprinkler head sprays water a distance of up t

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

314 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area that will be covered by the spray of the quarter-circle sprinkler head, is equal to the area of a quarter circle with radius of 20 feet

so

The area of a quarter circle is

$A=\frac{1}{4}\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=20\ ft$

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{4}(3.14)(20)^{2}=314\ ft^2$

Please help me answer for 35 and 36

dexar [7]

Answer:

35. $f(2)=16$

36. $f(2)=77$

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 35:

Given:

$f(1)=32$

$f(n)=f(n-1)\times \frac{1}{2}$

Plug in 2 for $n$ and simplify. This gives,

$f(2)=f(2-1)\times \frac{1}{2}\\f(2)=f(1)\times \frac{1}{2}\\f(2)=32\times \frac{1}{2}\\f(2)=16$

Therefore, term 2 is 16.

Question 36:

Given:

$f(1)=11$

$f(n)=f(n-1)\times 7$

Plug in 2 for $n$ and simplify. This gives,

$f(2)=f(2-1)\times 7\\f(2)=f(1)\times 7\\f(2)=11\times 7\\f(2)=77$

Therefore, term 2 is 77.

Madeleine owes $36,000 to a private lender. The debt grows with 12% annual interest that compounds every week. How much will Mad

viva [34]

Answer:

A= $40584.28

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 36000

r = 12% = 0.12

n = 52 weeks

t = 1

$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}\\$

$=36000(1 + \frac{0.12}{52})^{52 \times 1}\\\\=36000 (1.002307)^{52}\\\\=36000 \times 1.12734\\\\=40584.28$
