Answer:

56503

Step-by-step explanation:

this grows exponentialy so at the start it would be 50,000 growing by 5% every ten years. but since there is only 2 ten years in 25 years we must cut the percent in half making 2.5%

Step 1

(50,000×5%)+50,000= 52500

Step 2

(52500×5%)+52500= 55125

step 3

(55125×2.5%) +55125= 56503

Which is the completely factored form of 12x3 – 60x2 + 4x – 20?

Natalija [7]

Answer:

$4(x-5)(3{x}^{2}+1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

1 - What is the largest number that divides evenly into $12x^3,-60x^2,4x,$ and $-20$ ?

It is $4.$

2 - What is the highest degree of $x$ that divides evenly into $12x^3,-60x^2,4x,$ and $-20$ ?

It is 1, since $x$ is not in every term.

3 - Multiplying the results above,

The GCF is 4.

2) Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)

$4(\frac{12{x}^{3}}{4}+\frac{-60{x}^{2}}{4}+\frac{4x}{4}-\frac{20}{4})$

3) Simplify each term in parentheses.

$4(3{x}^{3}-15{x}^{2}+x-5)$

4) Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

$4(3{x}^{2}(x-5)+(x-5))$

5) Factor out the common term $x-5$ .

$4(x-5)(3{x}^{2}+1)$

60x+60=50x+200

10x+60=200

10x=140

x=14

60(14)+60=900

50(14)+200=900

Find h(2/3) if h(x) = 6x <br><br> 2 4 6 8

arlik [135]

H(x) = 6x

it gives you what x is so plug that in the equation to find it.

h(2/3) = 6(2/3)
h(2/3) = 6 × 2 ÷ 3
h(2/3) = 12 ÷ 3
h(2/3) = 4

so your answer is 4.

hope this helps, God bless!

Kath starts with a number. she adds 3 to her number then double the result. finally, she subtracts 7. if she ended with 9, what

Dimas [21]

The answer is 5. Work backwards: first add 7 to 9, then divide by 2, then subtract 3.

9+7=16
16/2=8
8-3=5

Cross Check:
5+3=8
8*2=16
16-7=9

Final Answer: 5
