The way it's written it's
Simplify the following:
7 X^3 + 4 X^2 + 2 X^2 + 3 X + X + 2 + 5
Grouping like terms, 7 X^3 + 4 X^2 + 2 X^2 + 3 X + X + 2 + 5 = 7 X^3 + (4 X^2 + 2 X^2) + (3 X + X) + (2 + 5):7 X^3 + (4 X^2 + 2 X^2) + (3 X + X) + (2 + 5)
4 X^2 + 2 X^2 = 6 X^2:
7 X^3 + 6 X^2 + (3 X + X) + (2 + 5)
3 X + X = 4 X:
7 X^3 + 6 X^2 + 4 X + (2 + 5)
2 + 5 = 7:Answer: 7 X^3 + 6 X^2 + 4 X + 7
Nonprportional is what I would think
Answer:
$2,543.84 is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do first is you have to figure out the 5.99% interest rate.
150 x 5.99 = 8.99
150 + 8.99 = $158.99
Now multiply that by 16
158.99 x 16 = $2,543.84 is your answer.
Answer:
<em>Option A; the tournament did begin with 128 teams</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that this equation is represented by compound interest, in other words an exponential function, either being exponential growth or exponential decay;
f ( x ) = a + ( b )^x, where a ⇒ start value, b ⇒ constant, x ⇒ ( almost always considered ) time, but in this case rounds
Option A; The equation is given to be t ( x ) = 128 * ( 1/2 )^x. Given by the above, 128 should represent the start value, hinting that the tournament <em>did indeed begin with 128 teams</em>
Option B; As the rounds increase the number of teams approach 128. Now mind you 128 is the start value, not the end value, which would mean that <em>this statement is false</em>
Option C; The tournament began with 1/2 teams. Theoretically that would not be possible, but besides that the tournament began with 128 teams, only differed by 1/2 times as much every round. <em>This statement is thus false</em>
Option D; This situation actually represents exponential decay. If each round the number of teams differed by 1/2 times as much, the number of teams remaining is less than before, and thus this models exponential decay, not growth<em> ( statement is false )</em>
<em>Answer : Option A; the tournament did begin with 128 teams</em>
