Answer:

The correct answer is B. 14.5° C

Step-by-step explanation:

Level of precision is =  VALUE ± ERROR

= 14 ± 0.5

= 14.5 0R 13.5

13.5 is rejected as it is less than the measured value so the required level of precision is 14.5° C

So, the right answer is 14.5° C

Three consecutive integers can be represented by the variable n, n+1 and n+2. If the sum of three consecutive integers is 57, wh
pashok25 [27]
You have some unknown integer n, and you know that adding this and the next two integers, n+1 and n+2, gives a total of 57.

This means

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=57

The task is to find all three unknown integers. Notice that if you know the value of n, then you pretty much know the value of the other three integers.

To find n, solve the equation above:

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=3n+3=57\implies 3n=54\implies n=\dfrac{54}3=18

So if 18 is the first integer, then others must be 19 and 20.

the line y=2x-4 is dilated bt a scale factor of 3/2 and centered at the origin. Write an equation that represent that image of t
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:  y = 2x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, If (x,y) represents the coordinates of a line, then after dilation about the origin by the scale factor k, the coordinates of the resultant line will get by the rule,

(x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)

Here, The equation of the given line is,

y = 2x - 4

x-intercept and y-intercept of the line are (2,0) and (0,-4) respectively,

Hence, the line y = 2x - 4 will be passes through the points (2,0) and (0,-4),

By the above property,

The dilated line about the origin will be passes through the points (3,0) and (0,-6),   ( Because (3/2× 2, 3/2×0) = (3,0) and (3/2×0, 3/2×-4) = (0,-6) )

Hence, the equation of transformed line after dilation,

y-0 = \frac{-6-0}{0-3}(x-3)    

y-0=2(x-3)

y-0=2x-6

y=2x-6

Mark takes a bank loan of $3,600 to start up a business at an annual interest rate of 8%. How much will he have to repay in 16 m
Dimas [21]

Answer:

  A.  $3,984

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of interest is computed from ...

  I = Prt

For the given values, the interest is ...

 I = $3600×0.08×(16/12) = $384

Then the total amount that needs to be repaid is ...

  Principal + Interest = $3600 +384 = $3,984

_____

The time period is 16 months, so is 16/12 years.

The time periods of the interest rate and "t" in the formula must match. If the interest rate is an annual rate, then "t" is in years. If the interest rate is a monthly rate, then "t" is the number of months.

The Rangers played 40 games. They won 18 more games then they lost. How many games did they win?
maxonik [38]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the number of wins. Then the number of losses is w-18. The total number of games played is ...

  wins + losses = 40

  w + (w-18) = 40

  2w = 58

  w = 29

The Rangers won 29 games.
