Answer:
16. d = distance
r = rate
t = time.
We know that the rate = 4, and time = 11.
=> d = 4 * 11
=> d = 44
17. We know that distance = 36, and time = 4.
=> 36 * r* 4
=> 36 = 4r
=> 36/4 = 4r/4
=> r = 9
This is an exponential decay problem.
Using the equation Y = a *(1-rate)^time
where Y is the future value given as 12,000 and a is the starting value given as 13,000.
The rate is also given as 5%.
The equation becomes:
12,000 = 13,000(1-0.05)^x
12,000 = 13,000(0.95)^x
Divide each side by 13000:
12000/13000 = 0.95^x/13000
12/13 = 0.95^x
Use the natural log function:
x = ln(12/13) / ln(0.95)
x = 1.56 years. ( this will equal 12,000
Round to 2 years it will be less than 12000.
Take however many boys/girls there are and divide it by how many sports there are... so 250/3= 83 boys per sport and 80 girls per sport.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Factorise the numerator and denominator
8a² - 2 ← factor out 2 from each term
= 2(4a² - 1) ← 4a² - 1 is a difference of squares
= 2(2a - 1)(2a + 1)
4a² + 4a + 1 ← is a perfect square
= (2a + 1)²
Thus

=
← cancel (2a + 1) on numerator/ denominator
= 
=
