Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. After 5 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 21.5 centimeters. After 21 hours of burning, its height is 16.7 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 15 hours?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The height is 18.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

[tex]y =height[/tex]

[tex]x = time[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (5,21.5)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (21,16.7)[/tex]

Required

The height after 15 hours

First, calculate the slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]m = \frac{16.7-21.5}{21-5}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-4.8}{16}[/tex]

[tex]m = -0.3[/tex]

The linear equation is then calculated as:

[tex]y =m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = -0.3[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (5,21.5)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]y =-0.3(x - 5) + 21.5[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]y =-0.3x + 1.5 + 21.5[/tex]

[tex]y =-0.3x + 23[/tex]

After 15 hours

[tex]x = 15[/tex]

[tex]y =-0.3*15 + 23[/tex]

[tex]y =-4.5 + 23[/tex]

[tex]y =18.5[/tex]

The height is 18.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a piggy bank, the number of nickles is 8 more than half the number of quarters. The value of the coins is $21.85. Determine the number of nickels.

Answers

Answer:

The number of nickels is 47

Step-by-step explanation:

1 nickel is 5 cents while 1 quarter is 25 cents

let the number of nickels be n and the number of quarters be q

From the question;

the number of nickels n is 8 more than half the number of quarters (q/2)

n = q/2 + 8

(n-8) = q/2

q = 2(n-8) = 2n - 16 ••••(i)

let us convert $21.85 to cents

there are 100 cents in $1

Thus; $21.85 will be 21.85 * 100 = 2185 cents

1 nickel is 5 cents; so n nickels will be 5 * n = 5n cents

1 quarter is 25 cents; so q quarters will be 25 * q = 25q cents

The addition of both will give 2185 cents

Thus;

5n + 25q = 2185 ••••••(ii)

Substitute equation i into ii

5n + 25(2n-16) = 2185

5n + 50n - 400 = 2185

55n = 2185 + 400

55n = 2,585

n = 2,585/55

n = 47 nickels

The length of the sides of a triangle is given. Determine
whether or not the triangle is right, acute, or obtuse.
6, 8, 10
a Right
b Acute
Obtuse

Answers

Answer:

The triangle is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle to be right, Pythagoras’ theorem must be obeyed

According to the theorem, the square of the longest side (the hypotenuse) equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Now, from the given side lengths, the highest value is 10;

squaring this, we have 10^2 = 100

Squaring and adding the other values, we have

6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100

This mean the values are equal and the Pythagoras’ theorem is obeyed

Hence, we can conclude that the triangle with the given side lengths is a right triangle

to make a sports drink for a football team, jaylen filled 9/10 of a large cooler with water. then he filled the remaning space with 6 cups of sports drink concentrate.
How many gallons of sports drink did Jaylen make?

Answers

Hello!

Assuming that we are using U.S. terms, there are sixteen cups in a gallon.

We can assume that there are six cups per tenth of the cooler. Our first job is to multiply 6 times 10 to get the amount of cups of sports drink.

6 · 10 = 60.

Now we need to find out how many gallons of sports drinks there are. To find how many cups go into a gallon, we divided 60 by 16.

60 ÷ 16 = 3.75

So, for our final answer,

Jaylen made 3.75 gallons of sports drink. (3 [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex])

X is a normally Distributed random variable with a standard deviation of 4.00. Find the mean of X when 64.8% of the area lies to the left of 8.52.

Answers

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

σ = 4 ; μ =?

8.52 to the left of X

.

P(X < 8.52) = 64.8%

P(X < 8.52) = 0.648

Using the Z relation :

(x - μ) / σ

P(Z < (8.52 - μ) / 4)) = 0.648

The Z value of 0.648 of the lower tail is equal to 0.38 (Z probability calculator)

Z = 8.52 - μ / 4

0.38 = 8.52 - μ / 4

0.38 * 4 = 8.52 - μ

1.52 = 8.52 - μ

μ = 8.52 - 1.52

μ = 7
