Answer:

6.36 years (the .36 repeats), so rounded is 6.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I'm going to convert all measurements to meters.

Since 1000 mm = 1 m, divide 44 by 1000.

44/1000 = 0.044 m

Since 100 cm = 1 m, divide 72 by 100.

72/100 = 0.72 m

Next, I'm going to setup an equation using y = mx + b.

b is the beginning amount which is 0.72.

m in the equation represents the rate which is 0.044.

y represents the total which is 1.

Plugin the numbers and solve for x.

1 = 0.044x + 0.72

1 - 0.72 = 0.044x + 0.72 - 0.72

0.28 = 0.044x

0.28/0.044 = 0.044x/0.044

6.36 = x

If I = PRT/100, MAKE R THE SUBJECT OF THE FORMULA.​
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

R = \frac{100I}{PT}

Step-by-step explanation:

I = \frac{PRT}{100} ( multiply both sides by 100 to clear the fraction )

100I = PRT ( isolate R by dividing both sides by PT )

\frac{100I}{PT} = R

What are the rational roots of the polynomial f(x) = 20x^4 + x^3 +8x^2 + x-12
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

x = 3/4 and x = -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

20x⁴ + x³ + 8x² + x − 12

Group:

(20x⁴ + 8x² − 12) + (x³ + x)

Factor:

4 (5x⁴ + 2x² − 3) + x (x² + 1)

4 (5x² − 3) (x² + 1) + x (x² + 1)

(x² + 1) (4 (5x² − 3) + x)

(x² + 1) (20x² + x − 12)

(x² + 1) (4x − 3) (5x + 4)

So the rational roots are x = 3/4 and x = -4/5.
