What's the distributive property when solving the equation 7(x+5)-x=42

1 answer:

7 0

When you are doing distributive property, it can only happen if a number or exponent is before the bracket. From this equation, you can solve for x like so:

7(x+5)-x=42

7x+35-x=42 -Using distributive property (Multiplication)

6x=7 -Collecting like terms.

x= 7/6 -The answer.

Therefore x would equate to 7/6.

Based on a study of population projections for 2000 to 2050, the projected population of a group of people (in millions) can b

Olegator [25]

Answer:

(a) 0.107 million per year

(b) 0.114 million per year

Step-by-step explanation:

$A(t) = 11.19(1.009)^t$

(a) The average rate of change between 2000 and 2014 is determined by dividing the difference in the populations in the two years by the number of years. In the year 2000, $t=0$ and in 2014, $t=14$ . Mathematically,

$\text{Rate}=\dfrac{A(2014) - A(2000)}{2014-2000}=\dfrac{11.19(1.009)^14-11.19(1.009)^0} {14}$

$A(0)=\dfrac{12.69-11.19}{14}=\dfrac{1.5}{14}=0.107$

(b) The instantaneous rate of change is determined by finding the differential derivative at that year.

The result of differentiating functions of the firm $y=a^x$ (where $a$ is a constant) is $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=a^x\ln a$ . Let's use in this in finding the derivative of $A(t)$ .
