Answer:

Original Number = let we assume it is x

Number after decremented = y = 60

Total decrease = z = x-y = x-60

% of decrease = ((x-60)/x)*100 = 7.3

(x-60)*100 = 7.3x

100x -6000 = 7.3x

100x-7.3x = 6000

92.7x = 6000

x = 6000/92.7 = 64.73

Original Number = 64.73

First you want to reduce the brackets
Next you want to factor out the common number 3
Next you want to factor 20 + x^3 + 11x - 8x^2 by using the polynomial division method/technique
Lastly you just factor x^2 - 9x + 20 to get the answer.

Yes you are correct, the solutions are 1, 4, and 5.

Verify that P = Ce^t /1 + Ce^t is a one-parameter family of solutions to the differential equation dP dt = P(1 − P).

NemiM [27]

Answer:

See verification below

Step-by-step explanation:

We can differentiate P(t) respect to t with usual rules (quotient, exponential, and sum) and rearrange the result. First, note that

$1-P=1-\frac{ce^t}{1+ce^t}=\frac{1+ce^t-ce^t}{1+ce^t}=\frac{1}{1+ce^t}$
