 the equation for a two variable equation is ax +by = r

r would be the total number of petri dishes ordered

 so you have ax + by = 185

ax would be the number of dished used times x number of days = 12x

 so you now have 12x + by = 185

 b is unknown so the equation becomes 12x +y = 185

There are 39 members on the Central High School student government council. When a vote took place on a certain proposal, all of
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Option a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that all of the seniors and none of the freshmen voted for it.

Some of the juniors and some of the sophomores voted for the proposal and some voted against it.

If the proposal was to be adopted then a simple of majority of votes should have been cast.

Since all seniors voted for it, and no freshmen number of freshmen has to be less than seniors then only majority would have voted.

Regarding juniors and sophomores we assume some voted and some against thus approximately nullifying their votes.

So the correct option would be

a. There are more seniors than freshmen on the council.

Option b wrong since only some voted for it.

C is wrong because actual seniors were not given.

D is wrong because while seniors voted for sophomores voted against.

e is wrong since sophomores and freshmen nullified each other

F(5)= 12 for geometric sequence that is defined recursively by the formula f(n) = 0.3* f(n-1), where n is an integer and n is gr
svet-max [94.6K]

The value of f(7) is 1.08

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

f(5) = 12

<em><u>The sequence is defined recursively by formula:</u></em>

f(n) = 0.3 \times f(n-1)

where n is an integer and n is greater than 0

<em><u>Substitute n = 6 in given formula,</u></em>

f(6) = 0.3 \times f(6-1)\\\\f(6) = 0.3 \times f(5)\\\\Substitute\ f(5) = 12\\\\f(6) = 0.3 \times 12\\\\f(6) = 3.6

<em><u>Find f(7)</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute f = 7 in given formula</u></em>

f(7) = 0.3 \times f(7-1)\\\\f(7) = 0.3 \times f(6)\\\\f(7) = 0.3 \times 3.6\\\\f(7) = 1.08

Thus the value of f(7) is 1.08

Un guardia forestal divisa, desde un punto de observación A, un incendio en la dirección N27° 10’ E. Otro guardia, que se encuen
Inga [223]

Answer:

la distancia del punto de observación A al incendio = 5.5 millas

la distancia del punto de observación B al incendio = 3.8 millas

Step-by-step explanation:

La expresión esquemática de la pregunta se puede ver en la imagen adjunta a continuación :

Del siguiente diagrama;

Usando la sine regla:

\dfrac{sin \  F}{f} = \dfrac{sin  \ A }{a}

\dfrac{sIn \  79}{6} = \dfrac{sin \   63}{a}

a sin 79 = 6 sin 63

a =\dfrac{6 \times sin \ 63}{sin \ 79}

a =\dfrac{6 \times 0.8910}{0.9816}

a = 5.446 millas

la distancia del punto de observación A al incendio = 5.5 millas (a la décima más cercana)

\dfrac{sin \  F}{f} = \dfrac{sin  \ B}{b}

\dfrac{sin \  79}{6} = \dfrac{sin  \ 38}{b}

b sin 79 = 6 sin 38

b  = \dfrac{6 \times sin  \ 38}{sin \  79}

b  = \dfrac{6 \times0.6157 }{0.9816}

b = 3.7635 millas

la distancia del punto de observación B al incendio = 3.8 millas (a la décima más cercana)

If 3.0 grams of strontium-90 in a rock sample remained in 1989, approximately how many grams of strontium-90 were present in the
kirill [66]

Answer:

<em>11.29 grams </em><em>of strontium-90 were present in the original rock sample in 1933.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Strontium has a half-life of 28.8 years. Therefore,

1989 - 1933 = 56 years.

56 / 28.8 = 1.94 half-lives

Thus, the quantity of the radioisotope remaining will double for each half-life elapsed. moving backwards in time.

Therefore, moving backwards in time by 1.94 half-lives, the quantity remaining will double by 1.94 times.

Thus, the amount remaining in 1933 is

3.0 × (1.94)² = <em>11.29 grams</em>
