Read the following excerpt from a personal narrative essay. Based on the excerpt, what did the writer learn from her personal experience?

Have you ever been canoeing? I went on a canoeing trip with my mom, dad, and two brothers when I turned 13. It was one of the best days of my life. It was exciting, scary, and challenging all at once. At first I couldn’t believe those long, narrow pieces of wood could hold all five of us. But our instructor told us that canoes have been around for many years. He also told us some interesting facts about the history of canoe, like how American Indians used canoes as a way to travel quickly.

He patted the wood of the canoe we would be using. “It’s made of an old tree trunk,” he said.

I asked the question that had been bothering me ever since I saw our canoe. “Can it really hold all of us?” I pointed to my brothers and me. “It looks like the bottom could fall right off.”

The instructor laughed. “Oh, you’ll be surprised how strong this wood is. If our customers were always drowning, we’d have a 'sinking' business on our hands.”

He laughed some more at his own joke. Then he became serious and showed us how to keep our balance while getting into and out of the boat. He also showed me how to grip the paddle so that my left hand would guide the boat and my right hand would give the paddle power.

A.
Canoeing is dangerous, and only people who are experts can do it.
B.
Even events that seem a little scary can turn out to be great.
C.
The best age to go on a canoeing trip is 13.
D.
Canoeing can cause injury if you’re new to the sport.

A farmer in China discovers a mammal
hide that contains 71% of its original
amount of C-14.
N = Noekt
No = inital amount of C-14 (at time
t = 0)
N = amount of C-14 at time t
k = 0.0001
t = time, in years

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you're looking for the age of the mammal hide, since there's no question here, but there's also nothing else to solve for. Remember a few things before we move on. First, if we are not told the initial amount with which we start, we have to assume that it's 100%. Second, remember that natural log and e are inverses of each other so they eliminate each other in application. Now to set up the problem. It looks like this:

[tex]71=100e^{-.0001t}[/tex] and begin by dividing both sides by 100 to get

[tex].71=e^{-.0001t}[/tex] and take the natural log of both sides. The other important thing to remember about the rules for logs and natural logs is that when you take the natural log of something, you are "allowed" to move the exponent down out front, which is why we do this. We cannot currently solve for t when it's stuck up there where it is right now. Taking the natural log allows us to bring that exponent down AND eliminate both the natural log and the e at the same time:

ln(.71) = -.0001t and we divide to solve for t:

[tex]\frac{ln(.71)}{-.0001}=t[/tex] and

[tex]\frac{-.3424903089}{-.0001}=t[/tex] so

t = 3424.9 years, or rounded, 3425 years.

Example Question #1:

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 4x – y = 22 and passes through the origin?

Possible Answers:

4x – y = 0

(1/4)x + y = 0

4x + 8y = 0

4x = 8y

y – 4x = 22

Correct answer:

4x – y = 0

Explanation:

We start by rearranging the equation into the form y = mx + b (where m is the slope and b is the y intercept); y = 4x – 22

Now we know the slope is 4 and so the equation we are looking for must have the m = 4 because the lines are parallel. We are also told that the equation must pass through the origin; this means that b = 0.

In 4x – y = 0 we can rearrange to get y = 4x. This fulfills both requirements.

Here are the first five terms of a sequence. 4, 11, 22, 37, 56 Find an expression, in terms of , for the th term of this sequence.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] a_n = 2n^2 + n + 1 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

4, 11, 22, 37, 56

11 - 4 = 7

22 - 11 = 11

37 - 22 = 15

56 - 37 = 19

After the first difference, 11 - 4 = 7, each difference is 4 more than the previous difference.

Difference of differences:

11 - 7 = 4

15 - 11 = 4

19 - 15 = 4

Since we need the difference of differences to find a constant, this must be a second degree function.

[tex] a_1 = 4 = 2^2 + 1(0)[/tex]

[tex] a_2 = 11 = 3^2 + 2 = 3^2 + 2(1) [/tex]

[tex] a_3 = 22 = 4^2 + 6 = 4^2 + 3(2) [/tex]

[tex] a_4 = 37 = 5^2 + 12 = 5^2 + 4(3) [/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 56 = 6^2 + 20 = 6^2 + 5(4)[/tex]

[tex] a_n = (n + 1)^2 + (n)(n - 1) [/tex]

[tex] a_n = (n + 1)^2 + (n)(n - 1) [/tex]

[tex] a_n = n^2 + 2n + 1 + n^2 - n [/tex]

[tex] a_n = 2n^2 + n + 1 [/tex]

Compare and contrast how to graph: x=2 and y= -4

Answers

Answer:

plotting x = 2

see the x- axis look for the point x = 2(on right side of the origin ). Mark that point and draw a straight line parallel to the y- axis.

This is the graph of x = 2

plotting y = -4

see the y- axis and then look for the point y= -4 (that must be 4 units below the origin). Mark that point and draw a straight line parallel to the x- axis.

This is the graph of y = -4

we see that, the graph x = 2 is parallel to the y-axis whereas the graph y = -4 is parallel to the x- axis.

1. (-1, 12)
2. 5
3. 25
4. (1, -12)

Answers

Answer:

radius = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Here r² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

r = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] = 5

Radius= 5 radius=5 radius= 5 radius= 5
