Answer:

Option: B is correct.

( b.  761,307 )

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

The number of private investigators is expected to increase from 52,000 in 2006 to 61,000 in 2016.

i.e. the percentage increase is given by:

\dfrac{61000-52000}{52000}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{9000}{52000}\times 100\\\\=17.3\%

Now it is given that:

There are 648,982 police officers in 2006.

so the number of police officers in 2016 will be:

117.3\% \times 648982\\\\=\dfrac{117.3}{100}\times 648982\\\\=761255.886

Hence, number of  police officers  in 2016 to have a greater percent increase than that of private investigators is:

Option:b 761,307

(Since in all the other option the value is less than the estimated value i.e. 761255.886 )

4(5x + 9)^2 – 33 = -21
ozzi

Answer:

x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or x = -9/5 - sqrt(3)/5

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

4 (5 x + 9)^2 - 33 = -21

Add 33 to both sides:

4 (5 x + 9)^2 = 12

Divide both sides by 4:

(5 x + 9)^2 = 3

Take the square root of both sides:

5 x + 9 = sqrt(3) or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)

Subtract 9 from both sides:

5 x = sqrt(3) - 9 or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)

Divide both sides by 5:

x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)

Subtract 9 from both sides:

x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or 5 x = -9 - sqrt(3)

Divide both sides by 5:

Answer:  x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or x = -9/5 - sqrt(3)/5

Find the indicated real nth root(s) of a. n=3, a=729
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

n=3, a=729

For any odd integer, n ; a will have only one real nth root which will be a positive integer.

Similarly, for any integer, n, that is > 1 ; related by the expression ;

p^n = a ; the nth root of a = p

Therefore,

If n = 3 ; a = 729

p^3 = 729

To obtain the value of p ; take the cube of both sides

(p^3)*1/3 = 729^1/3

p = 9

Hence, the real nth root of 729 is +9 when n = 3
