6.25%=0.0625

P(t) = Initial Population * (1 + rate)^t

P(t) = 400,00*(1+0.0625)^t
P(t)= 400,00*(1+0.0625)^15
Pt=400

Point D (-1,5) is reflected across the x-axis which statements about D are true

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

When a point is reflected across the x axis, it has the same x axis but the y axis is multiplied by -1. Think about the x axis as a mirror and the point is projected across the x axis.

Hence the x coordinate is -1 and the y coordinate is -5.

Fred's boat rental charges a rental fee of $30 plus $5 per hour. Joe's boat rental charges a flat rate of $20 an hour. Set the s

zmey [24]

30 + 5h = 20h
30 = 20h - 5h
30 = 15h
30/15 = h
2 = h

at 2 hrs, they both charge the same rate...
30 + 5(2) = 30 + 10 = 40
20h = 20(2) = 40
so at 2 hrs, they both charge $ 40

Which expression is equivalent to (8^2)^-4

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

C: $\frac{1}{8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$

Since a = $8^2$ :

$(8^2)^{-n} = \frac{1}{(8^2)^n} =\frac{1}{8^{2n}}$

Since n = 4 :

$(8^2)^{-4} =\frac{1}{8^{2*4}}=\frac{1}{8^{8}}=\frac{1}{8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8}$

I cant believe how bad my brother, Reuben, is at growing things. He bought a whole bunch of plants at the nursery the other day.

jeka94

Answer:

68 plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of plants that Reuben bought from the nursery.

We have been given that Reuben bought a whole bunch of plants at the nursery the other day. Right away, five died. So number of plant left would be $x-5$ .

We are also told that then our dog dug up 2/9 of them. So number of plants left after dug-up would be $\frac{2}{9}(x-5)$ .

Further a rabbit came and ate ½ of what was left. So number of plants left would be $\frac{\frac{2}{9}(x-5)}{2}=\frac{2}{9\times 2}(x-5)=\frac{1}{9}(x-5)$ .

Since Reuben had only 7 plants left, so we will equate our expression with 7 and solve for x as:

$\frac{1}{9}(x-5)=7$

$9\times \frac{1}{9}(x-5)=7\times 9$

$x-5=63$

$x-5+5=63+5$

$x=68$

Therefore, Reuben bought 68 plants at the nursery.
