Let's say patrick=a, paulo=b and joseph=c:

(1) a+b+c=68
(2) a+2=b
(3) b=2c

substituting (2) in (1) gives:

(4) 2a + c = 66 => a = 33 - c/2

(3) in (2) gives:

(5) a+2=2c

(4) in (5):

33 - c/2 + 2 = 2c => 35 = 2.5c => c=14

Joseph got 14 oranges!

Identify the initial amount a and the growth factor b in the exponential function.
alina1380 [7]

Given the equation A (x) = 30 x 8.3 ^x, we can get the initial amount of A when x is equal to zero. Therefore:

A (0) = 30 * 8.3^0

A (0) = 30

In this case the equation grows by 8.3 times as x increases. Therefore the growth factor is 8.3.

Answers:

initial amount = 30

growth factor = 8.3

The answers are not in the given choices. I believe you are giving the wrong equation. If the correct equation here is:

A (x) = 680 x 4.3 ^x 

Then the answers are:

initial amount = 680

growth factor = 4.3

The answers are now in the choices given.

A University has 30,600 students think school counselor estimates that 2% of the students break three on my languages in a rando
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Counselor's estimate isn't correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in university = 30,600

2% break 3 of the languages

Therefore, 2/100 × 30600 = 612 students break 3 of the languages in the University according to the counselor.

In a random sample of 240 students, 20 break 3 of the languages.

% = 20/240 × 100 = 8.33%

SinceTotal number of students = 30,600

Therefore, 30,600/240 = 127.5

Which means 127.5 × 20 = 2550.

Which means 2550 students break 3 of the languages as against the 612 students stated by the counselor.
