8 0

Answer:

this is a pythagorean theorem problem. 24 is the whole ladder, and if you draw it out, is a hypotenuse. 8 is a leg. . so 8^2 + b^2 = 24^2

b^2 = 512, so b = sqrt(512) = 22.6

B is correct. Substitute the week number for w in the function. Follow order of operations and you should get you N, the number of fruit flies for that week. For instance week 2:

N=2(5)
N= 10
N= 10 corresponds to the table

A football coach gives half his players a protein bar to eat before each game; the other players do not receive the protein bar.
timofeeve [1]
To make the sure the results did not happen by chance, the coach can ensure that the protein bars are the only difference between the two groups. For example, he can make sure that both groups are drinking the same amounts of water and getting in the same amount of practice; that way, he will be able to determine that one group is performing better due to the protein bars only. Also, the coach can repeat this experiment multiple times to make sure that the results weren't a random, one-time thing.

Bob decided to go to college, the cost of going to school will be $4,474 per semester, (there are 2 semesters per year) plus $38
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 semester = 4474

8 semester = 8* 4474                    35792

1 semester books = 389

8 semester books = 8* 389            <u> 3112 </u>

Total                                                38904  

If he is going to pay this off in 10 years, he would have to have an increase of 3890.40 (after all income taxes) to pay it off. Fewer years would mean dividing by the number of years.

So for 8 years for example, he would need 4863 every year.

That number is obtained by dividing 38904 / 8

In 6 years he would need

38904/6 = 6484 extra dollars.
