Answer:
m/(1 - .8)
Step-by-step explanation:
She read 80% of her emails, which is .8 of the total. So her unread emails would be 100% - 80% = 1 - .8
that means me can be written as:
m = (1 - .8)t
where t is the total
If we solve for t, we get:
t = m/(1 - .8)
Let us model this problem with a polynomial function.
Let x = day number (1,2,3,4, ...)
Let y = number of creatures colled on day x.
Because we have 5 data points, we shall use a 4th order polynomial of the form
y = a₁x⁴ + a₂x³ + a₃x² + a₄x + a₅
Substitute x=1,2, ..., 5 into y(x) to obtain the matrix equation
| 1 1 1 1 1 | | a₁ | | 42 |
| 2⁴ 2³ 2² 2¹ 2⁰ | | a₂ | | 26 |
| 3⁴ 3³ 3² 3¹ 3⁰ | | a₃ | = | 61 |
| 4⁴ 4³ 4² 4¹ 4⁰ | | a₄ | | 65 |
| 5⁴ 5³ 5² 5¹ 5⁰ | | a₅ | | 56 |
When this matrix equation is solved in the calculator, we obtain
a₁ = 4.1667
a₂ = -55.3333
a₃ = 253.3333
a₄ = -451.1667
a₅ = 291.0000
Test the solution.
y(1) = 42
y(2) = 26
y(3) = 61
y(4) = 65
y(5) = 56
The average for 5 days is (42+26+61+65+56)/5 = 50.
If Kathy collected 53 creatures instead of 56 on day 5, the average becomes
(42+26+61+65+53)/5 = 49.4.
Now predict values for days 5,7,8.
y(6) = 152
y(7) = 571
y(8) = 1631
Answer:
The length of river frontage for each lot are 96.55 ft. 98.85 ft, 101.15 ft and 103.45 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached diagram.
The river frontage of 400 ft will be divided into 84 : 86 : 88 : 90 for each lot as AP, BQ, CR, DS and ET all are parallel.
Therefore, PQ : QR : RS : ST = 84 : 86 : 88 : 90 = 42 : 43 : 44 : 45
Let, PQ = 42x, QR = 43x, RS = 44x and ST = 45x
So, (42x + 43x + 44x + 45x) = 400
⇒ 175x = 400
⇒ x = 2.2988.
So, PQ = 42x = 96.55 ft.
QR = 43x = 98.85 ft.
RS = 44x = 101.15 ft and
ST = 45x = 103.45 ft
(Answer)
Hi there!
We know that the equation for the volume of a pyramid is:
V = 1/3(bh)
We know that:
V = 200 km³
b = 12 × 5 = 60 km²
We can plug these into the equation:
200 = 1/3(60)(h)
Simplify:
200 = 20h
Divide both sides by 20:
200/20 = 20h/20
h = 10 km
(x-4)^2-19=y
you first add the three to the other side, then add 16 on both sides, make the left side x-4 squared, and lastly you subtract 19 from both sides.
