Answer:

4.25 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is the quantitative relation between two amounts, which is being compared. In this question we are considering the ratio of weight to time consumed.

At the age 0

Weight = 2 pound

At the age 4 months

Weight = 3.5 pound

Proportion of Change = Change in Weight / Change in time = (3.5 - 2) / (4-0) = 1.5 / 4 = 0.375 pound per month

Weight after 6 months = 2 + (6 x 0.375 pond per month )= 4.25 pound

Fabio is designing a flashlight that uses a parabolic reflecting mirror and a light source. The shape of the mirror can be model
ohaa [14]

Answer:

(2, 11/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a vertical parabola; we know that because x is squared here, while y is not.  The standard equation of a vertical parabola with vertex (h,k) is

4p(y-k) = (x-h)^2, where p is the distance between the vertex and the focus.  Comparing

4p(y-k) = (x-h)^2 to

10(y-3)  = (x-2)^2, we see that 4p = 10.  Therefore, p = 10/4 = 5/2, which is the vertical distance between the focus and the vertex.

Since the coordinates of the vertex are easily read from the given equation

(x-2)^2=10(y-3):  (h,k) = (2, 3)

all we need to do is to add p (5/2) to the y-coordinate (3);

The focus is at (2, 3 + 5/2), or (2, 11/2).

Round 1627187 to the nearest ten?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1627190

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

Given the number 1627187, we can see that the number in the tens place is the number 8.  

How we round this depends on the number immediately to the right of this number. (i.e the digit in the ones place)

Case 1: If the digit in the ones place is less less than 5, then the number in the tens place remains the same and replace all the digits to its right with zeros

Case 2: If the digit in the ones places is 5 or greater, then we increase the digit in the tens place and replace all the digits to its right with zeros.

In our case, the digit in the ones places is 7, this greater than 5, hence according to Case 2 above, we increase the digit in the tens place by one (from 8 to 9) and replace all the digits to its right by zeros giving us:
