Answer:
There were 10 flies originally
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have an exponential growth, we will be having a constant percentage of increase and we can set up the increase at any day using the following equation;
V = I(1+r)^d
where V is the number of flies on a particular day
I is the initial number of flies
r is the constant increase in percentage
and d is the number of days.
So we have for the second day;
60 = I(1+r)^2 ••••••(i)
For the fourth day, we have;
360 = I(1+r)^4 ••••••••(ii)
divide equation ii by i; we have;
360/60 = (1+r)^4/(1+r)^2
6 = (1+r)^2
(√6)^2 = (1+r)^2
1 + r = √6
r = √6 - 1
So we can substitute the value of r in any of the equations to get I which is the initial number of flies
Let’s use equation 1
60 = I(1 + r)^2
60 = I(1 + √6 -1)^2
60 = I(√6)^2
60 = 6I
I = 60/6
I = 10 flies

Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x2
Range = {f(-3), f(1), f(4), f(5)} = {18, 2, 32, 50}
To make it like a simple, I'll make an equation. Let x be the number of hours because x represents unknown and we don't know the hours. Then your per hour is $7.25 right? so it would be x7.25. You want to know how many hours you will work so you can earn $125. The equation is simple as this x7.25 = 125.
All you have to do is divide the equation by 7.25 because that's your per hour.
It will look like this, <u>x7.25</u> = <u>125</u> then the answer would be 17.24 hours.
7.25 7.25
Answer:
um... you are wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
its the the last one
you can't add when its division
you can change exponents from 1/x^-2
to x^2

Answer:
(2x - 3) • (x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Equation at step 1 :
(2x2 + 5x) - 12
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2x2+5x-12
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, +5x its coefficient is 5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -12
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -12 = -24
Step-2 : Find two factors of -24 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .
-24 + 1 = -23
-12 + 2 = -10
-8 + 3 = -5
-6 + 4 = -2
-4 + 6 = 2
-3 + 8 = 5
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 8
2x2 - 3x + 8x - 12
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (2x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
4 • (2x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+4) • (2x-3)
Which is the desired factorization
