Answer:
Directions - Identify the key components, create an exponential equation, then answer the questions.
Exponential Form: y=a\cdot b^{x},\ a\ is\ the\ \textit{starting}\ \textit{value},\ b\ is\ the\ base\ (rate).\y=a⋅b
x
, a is the starting value, b is the base (rate).
In a small town, the stray dog population is rapidly increasing. there are currently 15 stray dogs, and it is estimated that the population will triple every year. How many dogs will there be after 1 year? 2 years? 3 years?
1) a = 15
4) Dogs after 1 years = 45
2) b = 3
5) Dogs after 2 years = 135
3) Equation:
y= 15 ×3x
6) Dogs after 3 years =
405
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, we know that the expenses for the day is 210.
Knowing this, and the price of the taco, we write the inequality:
3.25t > 210
t = number of tacos
Now divide both sides by 3.25:
t > 64.62 (rounded)
Because a taco stand can't sell a fraction of a taco, we know that the taco stand has to sell more than 65 tacos for a profit.
Answer:
-8 or -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x*2+9x+8=0
(x+8)(x+1)=0
x+8=0 or x+1=0
x= -8 or x= -1
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
The two triangles are similar .
We can use the ratio's of the side to figure out x
2 3.5
-------- = --------------
4 x
Using cross products
2x = 4*3.5
2x=14
Divide each side by 2.
2x/2 = 14/2
x=7
