It wouldn’t be any of these I don’t think, however I don’t know what the # means.
I thought it would be C = 15 + x(0.20)
Hope this helps
Answer: c) The base is 2.
Reason: It is an exponential function because the variable (2) depends on the x.
Start with 180.
<span>Is 180 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" as one of the prime factors, and then work with the quotient, 90. </span>
<span>Is 90 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" (again) as another prime factor, then work with the quotient, 45. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 2? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 3? Yes, so write "3" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 15 </span>
<span>Is 15 divisible by 3? [Note: no need to revert to "2", because we've already divided out all the 2's] Yes, so write "3" (again) as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 5. </span>
<span>Is 5 divisible by 3? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
Is 5 divisible by 4? No, so try a bigger divisor (actually, we know it can't be divisible by 4 becase it's not divisible by 2)
<span>Is 5 divisible by 5? Yes, so write "5" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 1 </span>
<span>Once you end up with a quotient of "1" you're done. </span>
<span>In this case, you should have written down, "2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5"</span>
Answer:
75% bigger
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x and the second be y.
So:
And:
-----30% less than x
Substitute in
Cross multiply
Collect like terms
Make x the subject
So, the average is:
Rewrite as:
Express as percentage
This means that the average is 75% bigger than the second number
So, let’s represent the number as n:
n+7=2n+3
Subtract both sides by 3:
n+4=2n
Now by n:
2n=4
Divide:
n=2
The number is 2
