I am guessing that the correct form of equation
is:
f(x)
= 16,800(0.9)^x
where
x is the exponent of (0.9)
Since
we are looking for the original population and x stand sfor the number of years,
therefore x=0
substituting:
f(x) = 16,800(0.9)^0
Since (0.9)^0 would just be equal to 1. Therefore
the original population is
16,800.
Answer: B. 16,800
Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the factors of Lena's age are 2 and 5. The least common multiple must have these factors and the factors of 14, so will at least have factors of 2, 5, and 7.
Apparently, the dad's age is 5·7 = 35.
___
The GCF is 5; the LCM is 70 = 5×14.
_____
Sometimes, I use a little 3-part diagram to think about LCM and GCF. Here, it would look like ...
(2 [5) 7]
where the numbers in curved brackets (2·5) and the numbers in square brackets [5·7] are factors of the two numbers of concern (Lena's age, her dad's age). The middle number in both brackets [5) is the greatest common factor, and the product of all three numbers is their least common multiple.
Here, the product of outside numbers, 2·7 = 14, represents the ratio of the LCM to the GCF. We know that Lena's age has factors of only 2 and 5, so the numbers in the diagram have to be (2[5)7], where 2 and 7 are on the ends and 5 is in the middle.
