For this case what we can do is the following rule of three:
 24.3 -----> 130%
 x ---------> 100%
 We clear the value of x:
 x = (100/130) * (24.3)
 x = 18.7 grams
 Answer:
 
the current mass of the object was:
 
x = 18.7 grams

What is the value of the expression i 0 × i 1 × i 2 × i 3 × i 4?
astraxan [27]
ANSWER


The value of the expression is
- 1


EXPLANATION

Method 1: Rewrite as product of
{i}^{2}


The expression given to us is,

{i}^{0}  \times {i}^{1}  \times {i}^{2}  \times {i}^{3}  \times {i}^{4}


We use the fact that
{i}^{2}  =  - 1
to simplify the above expression.



{i}^{0}  \times {i}^{1}  \times {i}^{2}  \times {i}^{3}  \times {i}^{4}  =  {i}^{0}  \times {i}^{1}  \times {i}^{3}   \times {i}^{2}   \times {i}^{4}


This implies,


{i}^{0}  \times {i}^{1}  \times {i}^{2}  \times {i}^{3}  \times {i}^{4}  =  {i}^{0}  \times {i}^{2}  \times {i}^{2}   \times {i}^{2}   \times {i}^{2} \times {i}^{2}


We substitute to obtain,

{i}^{0}  \times {i}^{1}  \times {i}^{2}  \times {i}^{3}  \times {i}^{4}  =  1\times  - 1 \times  - 1  \times  - 1\times  - 1 \times  - 1


{i}^{0}  \times {i}^{1}  \times {i}^{2}  \times {i}^{3}  \times {i}^{4}  =  1\times  1 \times   1  \times  - 1 =  - 1


Method 2: Use indices to solve.



{i}^{0}  \times {i}^{1}  \times {i}^{2}  \times {i}^{3}  \times {i}^{4}  = {i}^{0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4}



This implies that,


{i}^{0}  \times {i}^{1}  \times {i}^{2}  \times {i}^{3}  \times {i}^{4}  = {i}^{10}




{i}^{0}  \times {i}^{1}  \times {i}^{2}  \times {i}^{3}  \times {i}^{4}  =  (  {{i}^{2}} )^{5}


{i}^{0}  \times {i}^{1}  \times {i}^{2}  \times {i}^{3}  \times {i}^{4}  =  (   - 1 )^{5}   =  - 1

Find the functions y-intercept algebraically
grigory [225]
To find the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the x variable and solve for y. If the equation is written in the slope-intercept form, plug in the slope and the x and y coordinates for a point on the line to solve y. Hope this helped! :)

David made a class banner out of a large rectangular piece of paper. He cut a
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

100 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the banner is equal to the area of the initial rectangle minus the area of the cutout triangle.

The rectangle has a height of 8 inches and width of 14 inches, so its area is:

A = (8 in) (14 in) = 112 in²

The triangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 3 inches, so its area is:

A = ½ (8 in) (3 in) = 12 in²

So the area of the banner is 112 in² − 12 in² = 100 in².

The sum of the interior angles, s, in an n-sided polygon can be determined using the formula s = 180(n – 2), where n is the numb
pshichka [43]
S = 180° ( n - 2 )
The equation for n is:
 n = s / 180°  + 2
 s = 1,260°
 n = ( 1,260° : 180° ) + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
Answer:
A polygon has 9 sides.
