Answer:
0.625lb bag of bird seeds
Step-by-step explanation:
She starts with a 3.5 lb bag,
Then she uses 3/4 of the bag, so find the remaining amount in the bag, which would be 1/4 of the original weight;
1/4 * 3.5
= 1/4 * 7/2
= 7/8
Then she removes 0.25 lbs of weight, hence take away 0.25 (the amount removed) from 7/8 (the current weight of the bag).
7/8 - 0.25
= 7/8 - 1/4
= 7/8 - 2/8
= 5/8
So she has a 5/8lb bag of bird seeds or a 0.625lb bag.
Yes your answer is correct... Because as per the question the equation formed should be y = 5(3)^x.
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> 1 • 4 = 4</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span> </span></span>
<span><span>-4 + -1 = -5</span><span> -2 + -2 = -4 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and -2
<span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
b • (b-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(b-2) • (b-2)
Which is the desired factorization
It depends on how big the fish tank is. I need the image
