Answer:

12 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

All problems were of equal value

Let x be the number of problems in the test

We apply a rule of three

x -------------------------------  100%

(x-10) --------------------------- 17%

(x-10)*100%/(x)   = 17%

(x-10)/(x)   = 0.17

(x-10)   = 0.17*x

0.83*x = 10

x = 12.05

x = 12 problems

An aquarium with a square base has no top. There is a metal frame. Glass costs 8 dollars/m^2 and the frame costs 7 dollars/m. Th
aleksley [76]
Let x = one of the side lengths of the base.
Then area of the base = x². So volume of the base = x²h.
That gives us x²h = 20. Solving for x, we get x = √(20/h²).

Glass is needed to cover the sides of the aquarium. There are 4 sides and 1 base. Area of a side = hx = h√(20/h²). Area of the base = x² = 20/h. Total area of glass = h√(20/h²) + 20/h. So the cost for glass = 8 * [h√(20/h²) + 20/h] = 8 h√(20/h²) + 160/h.

Metal frame is needed along the edges of the sides. There are 4 edges on the top, 4 edges in the bottom and 4 vertical edges. So the total length of metal frame = 4x + 4x + 4h = 8 √(20/h²) + 4h. Then the cost for metal frame = 7 * [8 √(20/h²) + 4h] = 56 √(20/h²) + 28h.

So the total cost = 8 h√(20/h²) + 160/h +  56 √(20/h²) + 28h

I NEED HELP WITH A MATH QUESTION PLEASE???!
taurus [48]
Part A
Chorus:
Expontential growth = b*a^x 
b = 15
a = 1.12              (a= r+1), r = 12%

Which gives a function of f(x) = 15*1.12^x 


Band
Linear growth = ax+b
a = 2
b = 30

Which gives a function of g(x)=2x+30

Part B:
f(9) = 15*1.12^9 = 41.59
g(9) = 2*9+30 = 48

Part C:
This is probably problem solving, where you're allowed to use calculators and other softwares.

Therefore you can use different softwares, and make f(x) = g(x).
I did this, and got it to 10.95427141
