Answer: 15 + 53/77
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying a fraction by 1 does not change the value.
Any number divided by itself is 1.
For instance, 11/11 = 7/7 = 1.
12 + 1/7 + 3 + 6/11 = 15 + 1/7 + 6/11
= 15 + (11×1)/(11×7) + (7×6)/(7×11)
= 15 + 11/77 + (6×7)/77
= 15 + (11 + 6×7)/77
= 15 + 53/77
It is faster to make sure to multiply by the "smallest" form of one that will work, but you don't have to. You only need to make sure that at the end there are no common factors in numerator and denominator, and that numerator is smaller than denominator.
Answer:
a) decay
b) 2,950,000
c) 0.025
d) 
e) 2,409,123
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part (a)</u>
Exponential DECAY, since the population was decreasing annually.
<u>Part (b)</u>
Initial amount = 2,950,000 people (in the year 2000)
<u>Part (c)</u>
Decay factor = 2.5% = 0.025 (in decimal form)
<u>Part (d)</u>
General form of exponential decay function:

where:
- a = initial amount
- r = rate of decay (in decimal form)
- x = time (in years)
Given:


<u>Part (e)</u>
To determine the city's population in 2008:


Answer:
A. (-∞ , 0)
B. x = 0 triple root
C. The function tends to infinity
Step-by-step explanation:
For the function f(x) = x^3 we have:
Negative intervals:
(-∞ , 0)
The roots of this function is:
x = 0
The final behavior of this function tends toward infinity
