Use the percent proportion
21 x
—— = ——
100 300
to solve :
21 x 300 = 6300
6300 ÷ 100 = 63
Answer = 63 of Elmer’s shells are fossilized snail shells :)
When you evaluate the function f (x) = 4 • 7 ^ x for x = -1 you get:
f (-1) = 4 * 7 ^ -1
f(-1) = 4* 1/7
f (-1) = 0.5714
The next part of the question is not clear. If it refers to the function at x = 2 then:
f (2) = 4 * 7 ^ (2)
f(2) =4*49
f (2) = 196
If it refers to it in x ^ 2
f (x ^ 2) = 4 * 7 ^ (x ^ 2)
Answer: 3.5 h
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1. Data:</u>
a) s = 740 miles / h
b) d = 2,567 miles
c) t = ?
<u>2. Equation:</u>
<u>3. Solution:</u>
- Solve the equation for t:
s = d / t ⇒ t = d / s
t = 2,567 miles / (740 miles/h) ≈ 3.47 h ≈ 3.5 h
You multiply both of the equations until you have two of the same term the same like for example, say I have 4x and 5x. You want to multiply until both have the same number, so multiply 5x by four, then multiply 4x by five, and you will get 20x, then both of those cancel out and you will be left with the other variable, and you just solve like a normal equation.
