log(3) = log(12/4)
Use the quotient rule [ 
] to simplify.
log(12/4) = log(12) - log(4)
Simplify using the given values for 12 and 4.
1.079 - 0.602
0.477
Therefore, log(12) ≈ 0.477
Best of Luck!
Answer:
8 family members. Average of 2.6 fish per person.
Step-by-step explanation:
How many family members caught fish? Count only those members who caught at least 1 fish (that's all of them, because nobody caught 0 fish!).
3 + 1 + 0 + 4 = 8 family members.
Average number of fish caught <u>per person</u>. This is the total number of fish caught divided by the total number of people.
This is a little bit tricky because, for example, 4 people caught 4 fish, making 4 x 4 = 16 fish caught.
Multiply number of fish (column 1) by the number of people (column 2):
1 x 3 + 2 x 1 + 3 x 0 + 4 x 4 = 3 + 2 + 0 + 16 = 21 fish caught.
21 fish. 8 people. On average, that is 21 / 8 = 2.625 which rounds to 2.6 fish per person.
Hint: the word "per" means <u>divide</u>, so "fish per person" tells you to divide the total number of fish by the total number of people.
Good Luck!
Answer:
Billie's age = x = 17 years
Tony's age = y = 31 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Billie's age = x
Tony's age = y
Twice Billie’s age decreased by 3 is Tony’s age.
y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1
Tony is fourteen years older than Billie.
x = y - 14
We substitute y - 14 for x in Equation 1
y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1
y = 2(y - 14) - 3
y = 2y - 28 - 3
y - 2y = -28 - 3
-y = -31
y = 31 years
Solving for x
x = y - 14
x = 31 - 14
x = 17 years.
Therefore:
Billie's age = x = 17 years
Tony's age = y = 31 years
First term: a(1) = 4; common ratio: r = 2
Then:
a(n) = 4(2)^(n-1)
Check: Predict the 4th term using this formula:
a(4) = 4(2)^3 = 4(8) = 32 (correct)
