17. due to melting, an ice sculpture loses one-half its weight every hour. after 8 hours, it weights 5/16 of
a pound. how much did it weigh in the beginning?

1)is not similar since corresponding sides are not in the same ratio

2)are similar since corresponding sides are in the same ratio and corresponding angles are equal

hope it will

part a

in a city ice cream is mostly only bought when the temperature is very high as ice cream cools down our

so we can derive the conclusion that as the temperature increases the number of ice creams sold also increases

part b

y intercept is 5

slope is 2

happy to

pls mark as brainliest

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
