Answer:
378.5 or just 378
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by. When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)
The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.
Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.
If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:
y = 1.5(19) + 350
y = 378.5
Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378
Answer:
9/25
Step-by-step explanation:
(6/10)(6/10)
= (3/5)(3/5)
=9/25
Answer:
y = √{(a - x)/2b}
Step-by-step explanation:
x=a-2by²
2by² = a - x
divide through by 2b
y² = (a - x)/2b
y = √{(a - x)/2b}
Answer:
9 teams
Step-by-step explanation:
If the total games played was 36 and no team played each other twice, we need to ensure there isn't any double counting.
36 = (n-1) + (n-2) + (n-3) ... + (n-(n-1))
using this knowledge, we can then count up:
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36
If our highest number is 8, then we know there must be 9 teams, because no team can play themselves.
