We know it begins at 100. If we use a*b^t, then 100 is our a. 100*b^t. We can now divide 480 by 100. This is 4.8. 4.8 is b. f(t) = 100(4.8)^t

200 miles. 2.5 divided by 3/4 is 3.33333-, multiplying the given by 60 would give us 199.98, which you can round to 200.

Answer: Arachidonic acid (AA, sometimes ARA) is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid 20:4(ω-6), or 20:4(5,8,11,14).

Step-by-step explanation: It is structurally related to the saturated arachidic acid found in cupuaçu butter.[3] Its name derives from the New Latin word arachis (peanut), but it is important to note that peanut oil does not contain any arachidonic acid.[4]

Find a solution to the linear equation −2x−2y=8 by filling in the boxes with a valid value of x and y.Provide your answer below:

inna [77]

Given

$-2x-2y=8$

To find a solution for the linear equation, the first step is to write the equation in slope-intercept form:

-Pass the x-term to the right side of the equation by applying the opposite operation to both sides of the equal sign:

$\begin{gathered} -2x+2x-2y=8+2x \\ -2y=2x+8 \end{gathered}$

-Divide both sides by -2:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{2x}{-2}+\frac{8}{-2} \\ y=-x-4 \end{gathered}$

Once you have expressed the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, replace it with any value for x and calculate the corresponding value of y, for example, x=2

$\begin{gathered} y=-(2)-4 \\ y=-2-4 \\ y=-6 \end{gathered}$

One solution for the linear equation is x=2 and y=-6, you can check the solution by replacing the values on the original equation, with both values the result should be 8:

$\begin{gathered} -2x-2y \\ -2\cdot2-2\cdot(-6) \\ -4+12=8 \end{gathered}$

As you can see the values are a valid solution for the linear equation.

So the solution is:

$-2(2)-2(-6)=8$
