A computer can sort x objects in t seconds, as modeled by the function
1 answer:
Answer:
36 objects
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the value of x when t=9, so you're solving ...
9 = 0.007x^2 +0.003x
9 = 0.007(x^2 + 3/7x)
From here, we observe that an approximation is probably sufficient.
9/0.007 = x(x +3/7) . . . . . the expression on the right is nearly x^2
x ≈ 3/√.007 ≈ 35.9 ≈ 36
We can check:
.007(36)(36 3/7) = 9.18
.007(35)(35 3/7) = 8.68
To keep the computer busy for 9 seconds, it needs to sort 36 objects.

There are 12 months in a year and each year it decreases 6% so therefore each month it decreases .5%.
If you were asking the the amount it depreciates each month then you take .5% or .005 of 12000 which is 60 dollars a month.
First find out what 55% of $25 is by doing 25 times .55 which is 13.75, then add 25+13.75 and that should be your answer
43,000 in scientific notation is 4.3 x 10^4
1 minute = 60 seconds, so multiply:
60 seconds x 6 minutes = 360 seconds
Answer:
$64.93
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is multiply the amount of money by the percent (in this case, the decimal of 0.2):
324.65*0.2 = 64.93
