Answer:

The number of people who ordered steak dinner is 5

The number of people who ordered chicken dinner is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of people went for the dinner = 7

The total bill price for the dinner = $ 109

The price for the chicken dinner = $ 12

The price for the steak dinner = $ 17

Let The number of people who ordered chicken dinner = c

And The number of people who ordered steak dinner = s

Now, According to question

The total number of people went for the dinner = The number of people who ordered chicken dinner + The number of people who ordered steak dinner

Or, c + s = 7

And The total bill price for the dinner = The price for the chicken dinner × The number of people who ordered chicken dinner + The price for the steak dinner ×  The number of people who ordered steak dinner

Or, $ 12 × c + $ 17  × s = $ 109

Now, solving the equations

$ 12 × ( c + s ) = $ 12 × 7

Or,  $ 12 × c + $ 12  × s = $ 84

Or, (  $ 12 × c + $ 17  × s ) - (  $ 12 × c + $ 12  × s ) = $ 109 - $ 84

Or , (  $ 12 × c - $ 12  × c ) +  (  $ 17 × s - $ 12  × s ) = $ 25

Or, ( 0 ) + ( $ 5 s ) = $ 25

∴ s = \frac{25}{5}

I.e s = 5

So, The number of people who ordered steak dinner = s = 5

Put the value og s in Eq A

∵,  c + s = 7

or,  c = 7 - s

Or, c = 7 - 5

I.e   c = 2

So , The number of people who ordered chicken dinner = c = 2

Hence The number of people who ordered steak dinner is 5

And The number of people who ordered chicken dinner is 2   Answer

A town has a population of 12000 and grows at 3.5% every year. What will be the population after 7 years, to the nearest whole n
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

15,267

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, lets use the exponential growth formula which is:A = P(1+r)^t

A = total amount

P = original amount

r = growth rate (decimal)

t = years

<u>Before we plug in the values, don't forget to change 3.5% to its decimal form.</u>

3.5% -> \frac{3.5}{100} -> 0.035

Lets plug in the values:

A=12,000(1+0.035)^7

A=15,267

The population after 7 years will be 15,267.

QUICK EASY 25 POINTS!!
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

1. leave the radical symbol and don't try to convert it to a decimal form

2. The approximated value differs from the exact solution and doesn't give a true equation.

3. Depending on the case, if she needs a mathematical answer, the exact value should be used, but for more practical applications, the rounded decimal form would be more usable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The step by step solution to the equation:

4x^3=756\\x^3=\frac{756}{4} =189\\x=\sqrt[3]{189} \\x=\sqrt[3]{3^3*7} \\x=3*\sqrt[3]{7}

1.- Exact solution means that if in the final step when solving for x the value of  x^3 is not a perfect cube, one needs to leave it indicated as a radical expression (with the radical symbol).

in our case, the cubic root of 189 is not a perfect cube. The factor form of 189 is: 3^3*7, so there is a perfect cube factor (3^3), but the other factor (7) is a prime number. Therefore 3 can get out of the root, while 7 stays inside.

2.- The equation was solved above, in exact form. Now to solve it giving a decimal approximation, we use a calculator to find the cubic root of 7, which is an irrational number with infinite number of decimals, the first of which we type here: \sqrt[3]{7} = 1.91293118...

Therefore, the decimal approximation to the solving for x would be:

x=3*\sqrt[3]{7}=3*1,91293118...=5.73879...=5.74

Where we rounded to two decimals as requested.

When we replace the exact answer in the original expression, we get a perfect equality:

4*x^3=756\\4* (3\sqrt[3]{7} )^3=756\\4*3^3*(\sqrt[3]{7} )^3=756\\4*27*7=756\\\\756=756

While if we use the approximate answer, we get:

4*x^3=756\\\\4*(5.74)^3=756\\\\4*189.119224=756\\756.476896=756

which is NOT a true equality.

3.- I would stick with the idea of showing the exact answer as answer to the mathematical equation. but for a practical case (for example she needs to by some material as a result of her equation solving, it would be more practical to take the numerical approximation to the store, instead of a cubic root of a number.

Rectangle A has a length of 12 and width of 8. Rectangle B has a length of 15 and a width of 10.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

rectangles are similar figures, thus if scaled copies of each other then the ratios of corresponding sides must be equal

compare ratios of lengths and widths

rectangles A and B

k =  =  ← ratio of lengths

k =  =  ← ratio of widths

scale factors are equivalent, hence rectangle A is a scaled copy of B

rectangles C and B

k =  =  ← ratio of lengths

k =  =  ← ratio of width

scale factors (k ) are not equal, hence C is not a scaled copy of B

rectangles A and C

k =  =  ← ratio of lengths

k =  ← ratio of widths

the scale factors are not equal hence A is not a scaled copy of C
