Answer:
x = 31
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the equal-length sides:
63 = (x -10) +(x -10) +(x -10)
63 = 3x -30 . . . . . . . . collect terms
21 = x -10 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
31 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10
Answer: (f-g)(x) is equivalent to f(x) - g(x)
So that would be (2x²-5) - (x²-4x-8) = 2x² - x² + 4x + 8 - 5 = x² + 4x + 3
Hope this helps.
Answer:
<em>Her rate of change is 75 ft/h</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rate of Change</u>
It measures how one quantity varies with respect to another. The second variable usually is the time.
The climber is hiking. We are given two points of her progress: At 2 hours, she is at 400 ft. This corresponds to the point (2,400).
At 6 hours, she is at 700 ft. This is the point (6,700)
The rate of change is the slope between these two points or the quotient of the variations of each variable:
Her rate of change is 75 ft/h
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+ 8/4 -x+ 5/4
= x+2+-x +5/4
Combine Like Terms:
x+2+-x+ 5/4
(x+x)+ ( 2 +5/4)
= 13/4
Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
