Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

100% - 40%

= 60% or 3/5 - first day

2/5 of 3/5 = 6/25 = 24% eaten

36% left - 2nd day

2/5 of 6/25 = 14.4% eaten

= 21.6 % left - 3rd day

2/5 of 21.6 = 8.64% eaten

= 12.96 % left - 4th day

2/5 of 12.96%  = 5.184 eaten

= 7.776% left - 5th day

2/5 of 7.776% = 3.1104% eaten

= 4.6656% left after the 6th day

rounded off to 5% after the 6th day

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval?
timama [110]
The Mean Value Theorem:
If a function is continuous on [ a, b ] and differentiable on ( a , b ) than there is a point c in ( a, b ) such that:
f ` ( c )=  ( f ( b ) - f ( a ) ) / ( b - a )
f ` ( c ) = ( f ( 2 ) - f ( 0 ) ) / ( 2 - 0 )
f `( x ) = 10 x - 3
f ` ( c ) = 10 c - 3 
2 f ` ( c ) = 16 - 2
f ` ( c ) = 7
7 = 10 c - 3
c = 1
Answer:
          Yes, the function is continuous on [ 0, 2 ] and differentiable on ( 0, 2 ).

How to find x please help
o-na [289]
You know the adjacent and you need to find the opposite, so you would use tangent. Your equation would look like this; tan 26°= x/28. You would need to multiply both sides by 28 to simplify it to this; 28*tan 26°= x
Solving this, you would get an answer of 13.7
