Set up a system of equations:

s = 2d - 5
s + d = 43

Where 's' represents the number of points Stilt scored and 'd' represents the number of points Dunk scored.

Plug in 2d - 5 for 's' in the 2nd equation:

s + d = 43

2d - 5 + d = 43

Combine like terms:

3d - 5 = 43

Add 5 to both sides:

3d = 48

Divide 3 to both sides:

d = 16

Plug this back into any of the two equations to find 's':

s + d = 43

s + 16 = 43

Subtract 16 to both sides:

s = 27

So Dunk scored 16 points and Stilt scored 27 points.

We can used the Simpson's Rule says to approximate the area under a given curve using the following formula: 

<span>(Δx/3)[f(x0) + 4f(x1) + 2f(x2) + 4f(x3) + ... + 2f(xn-2) + 4f(xn-1) + f(xn)] </span>

<span>The pool is divided into 8 subintervals. We integrate the given function from 0 to 24, while the graph provides values of f(x) at 7 different points. The first value given, 6.2, is NOT f(0). It is f(3). Using Simpson's Rule, and dividing the lake of 24 meters into 8 subintervals, we write the equation: </span>

<span>area = (3/3)[f(0) + 4f(3) + 2f(6) + 4f(9) +2f(12) + 4f(15) + 2f(18) + 4f(21) + f(24)] </span>

<span>Pool area = 0 + 4(6.2) + 2(7.2) +4(6.8) + 2(5.6) + 4(5.0) +2(4.8) +4(4.8) + 0 = 126.4 m^2 </span>

<span>Rounding to the nearest square meter, the area of the lake is approximately 126 m^2 </span>

Step-by-step explanation:

The chip is 14  nanometers

.000000014

Move the decimal 8 places to the right, because we need 1 number in front of the decimal for scientific notation.  The exponent will be -8 because  we moved it 8 places to the right
