Mathematics
1 answer:
solmaris [256]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The percentage decrease is 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent decrease of any two numbers, subtract the numbers and divide it by the original.

So in this case:

20-17÷20

= 3÷20

= 0.15

Now convert to a percent.

0.15×100 = 15%

An initial population of 415
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The exponential function to model the duck population is:

f(n)=415*(1.32)^n, where:

x is the duck population

n is the number of years

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the duck population you can use the formula to calculate future value:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV=future value

PV=present value

r=rate

n=number of periods of time

In this case, the present value is the initial population of 415 and the rate is 32%. You can replace these values on the formula and the exponential function to model the duck population would be:

f(n)=415*(1+0.32)^n

f(n)=415*(1.32)^n, where:

x is the duck population

n is the number of years

Part A: Factor x2y2 + 6xy2 + 8y2. Show your work. (4 points) Part B: Factor x2 + 8x + 16. Show your work. (3 points) Part C: Fac
skad [1K]

Answer:

Part A : y²(x + 2)(x + 4)

Part B: (x + 4) (x + 4)

Part C: (x + 4) (x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Factor x²y²+ 6xy²+ 8y²

x²y²+ 6xy²+ 8y²

y² is very common across the quadratic equation , hence

= y² (x² + 6x + 8)

= (y²) (x² + 6x + 8)

= (y²) (x² + 2x +4x + 8)

= (y²) (x² + 2x)+(4x + 8)

= (y²) (x(x + 2)+ 4(x + 2))

= y²(x+2)(x+4)

Part B: Factor x² + 8x + 16

x² + 8x + 16

= x² + 4x + 4x + 16

= (x² + 4x) + (4x + 16)

= x( x + 4) + 4(x + 4)

= (x + 4) (x + 4)

Part C: Factor x² − 16

= x² − 16

= x² + 0x − 16

= x² + 4x - 4x - 16

= (x² + 4x) - (4x - 16)

= x (x + 4) - 4(x + 4)

= (x + 4) (x - 4)
