So for this problem, let us use x as the cost before Chet would apply a $25 gift certificate. Based on the problem, we can see that the original cost of the product cannot be more than 75 which means that it can be equal to 75 or less than 75. We can actually express the inequality as x< or = 75 since we are looking for the cost before Chet applied the $25 gift certificate. This means that we do not need to add in the 25 yet since the question asks for the cost before the application of the discount.
Answer:
a. 
b. 
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need tot find a general expression for the amount of caffeine remaining in the body after certain time. As the problem states that every hour x percent of caffeine leaves the body, we must substract that percentage from the initial quantity of caffeine, by each hour passing. That expression would be:

Then, to find the amount of caffeine metabolized per hour, we need to differentiate the previous equation. Following the differentiation rules we get:

The rate is negative as it represents the amount of caffeine leaving the body at certain time.
Answer: x = -0.377
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the equation:
4^(5*x) = 3^(x - 2)
Now we can use the fact that:
Ln(A^x) = x*Ln(A)
Then we can apply Ln(.) to both sides of the equation to get:
Ln(4^(5*x)) = Ln(3^(x - 2))
(5*x)*Ln(4) = (x - 2)*Ln(3)
(5*x)*Ln(4) - x*Ln(3) = -2*Ln(3)
x*(5*Ln(4) - Ln(3)) = -2*Ln(3)
x = -2*Ln(3)/(5*Ln(4) - Ln(3)) = -0.377
Answer:
D : 510 units
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE:
Something to consider when solving problems like this is to break the large shape down into smaller, more managable shapes. So for this problem, you can break down this irregular shape into two rectangles. This will make solving problems similar to this easier in the future :)
WORK:
I broke down this shape into two rectangles with the following dimensions:
- 12 meters by 5 meters
- 3 meters by 14 meters
You also know that the depth has to be 5 feet (the problem itself did not account for differences in feet and meters, as when I converted the 5 feet to meters and solved that way, none of the answers were correct)
Using this information, you can now solve for the volume of each of the rectangles
12*5*5 = 300 units
3*14*5 = 210 units
Then, you simply add the two volumes together to find the total volume needed to fill the pool which equals
510 units
The answer is B. 10 vertices because it all depends on the edges. You have to subtract the edges by faces/vertices to get your faces/vertices so 20-12 is 10 so you are correct
