Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.

Lim (sin(pi/x)) as x tends to 0 from both sides​
strojnjashka [21]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Limit does not exist.

Discussion:

The function 1/x has a vertical asymptote as x approaches 0 so

sin (pi/x) has no limit as x approaches 0. In fact, it oscillates wildly between -1 and 1 as x approaches 0. See attached graph of function

Thank you,

MrB

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the final part 4x/40 = 7. We can simplify this to x/10 = 7 by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 4. We then multiply both sides by 10 to get x = 70

To convert a capacity of 8.7 gallons to quarts, which ratio could you multiply by? remember that 1 gallon = 4 quarts.
Papessa [141]
Using the factor label method, you would set up your ratio like so:8.7 gall *  \frac{4 qts}{1 gall}
