Hint: Use the formula, f(x) = P(1 + r)x.

A. f(x) = 10(0.03)x, 36 feet

B. f(x) = 10(1.03)x, 14 feet

C. f(x) = 10(1.3)x, 37 feet

D. f(x) = 10(1.03)x, 13 feet

After first week pond will be:
10 + 10* 0.03 = 10*(1.03) feet deep
after second week it will be:

10*(1.03) + 10*(1.03)*0.03 = 10*(1.03)^2

from this we can conclude that after x week its will be:
10*(1.03)^x

Note that when second week starts our starting pond is already greater by 3%. every week we add 3% of prevous weeks size of pond

for x = 8 we get
f(x) = 10*(1.03)^8 = 12.66 or rounded 13 feet

Answer is D.

7x + 3y - 2 + 6x + 1 + y^2

combine all the like terms to one side first

7x + 6x - 2 + 1 + y^2

then simplify

13x - 1 + y^2 or  y^2 + 3y + 13x - 1

William has a regular hexagon with sides that are 2 units each. How many equilateral triangles with 1- unit sides can be put tog
Alina [70]
In a regular hexagon, each side is contained in a separate equilateral triangle with side of 2-units.  That makes six equilateral triangles with side 2-units.
Further, each equilateral triangle of side 2-units contains four (4) equilateral triangles of side 1-unit.
Therefore the total number of equilateral triangles of side 1 units in a hexagon with side two units is 6*4=24.
