Let's say the phrase is "x more than 3 more than y". You can express that in as the equation "x + 3 + y".

<span>"More than 3 more" just means "take the previous quantity, add three to it, then add some other quantity to it". On its own, it's meaningless. Is this from a test question?

Mario has a business selling muffins. Let x be the price of a muffin. Then, the profit P for Mario’s business is given by p(x)=-

Rufina [12.5K]

To make a positive profit p(x)>0 we need to make:
$-100 x^{2} +350x-150 \ \textgreater \ 0$

Now we solve this for x:
$-2 x^{2} +7x-3 \ \textgreater \ 0$

We have:
a = -2
b = 7
c = -3

We will use formula for quadratic equation:
$x_{1} = \frac{-b+ \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} \\ \\ x_{2} = \frac{-b- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} \\ \\ x_{1} = \frac{-7+ \sqrt{ 49-24 } }{-4} = \frac{-7+5 }{-4} = \frac{-2 }{-4} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ x_{2} = \frac{-7- \sqrt{ 49-24 } }{-4} = \frac{-7-5 }{-4} = \frac{-12 }{-4} = 3$

We got two solutions. One is fraction other is whole number. We will not consider fraction because the amount of muffins sold must be whole number. So our solution is:
x>3

The world population at the beginning of 1980 was 4.5 billion. Assuming that the population continued to grow at the rate of app

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

$Q(t) = 4.5(1.013)^{t}$

The world population at the beginning of 2019 will be of 7.45 billion people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The world population can be modeled by the following equation.

$Q(t) = Q(0)(1+r)^{t}$

In which Q(t) is the population in t years after 1980, in billions, Q(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

The world population at the beginning of 1980 was 4.5 billion. Assuming that the population continued to grow at the rate of approximately 1.3%/year.

This means that $Q(0) = 4.5, r = 0.013$
