168=n+(n+2)+(n+4)
168=3n +6
168 - 6 = 3n
162/3=n
54=n

integer 1: 54
integer 2=n+2=56
integer 3=n+4=58

(x) + ( x + 2 ) + ( x + 4) = 168

3x + 6 = 168

x + 2 = 56

x = 54

so the numbers is 54, 56, 58

Hi can someone please help me with this i will give you five stars!!

tino4ka555 [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at what we know. We know that...

P=2000

r=0.04 (Change 4% to a decimal)

t=7 (25 years minus 18 years equals 7)

n=1

Since we are compounding each year, we need to use this equation: $P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

Now just plug the numbers in: (Answer to #1:) $2000(1+\frac{0.04}{1} )^{(1*7)}$

This equals 2631.86

When we round, this equals to $2,632. (Answer to #2).

Find the equation of an exponential function in the form y = ab^x, given the points (0, 3) and (2, 108/25). Please simplify your

lilavasa [31]

We have the equation:

$y=a\cdot b^x$

We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.

The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.

$\begin{gathered} y=a\cdot b^x \\ 3=a\cdot b^0=a \\ a=3 \end{gathered}$

Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:

$\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}$

Then, we can write the equation as:

$y=3\cdot(\frac{6}{5})^x$

azamat

Answer:

In M/n(x) x cannot be 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If any number is divided by 0, then that number is undefined and has no answer, so in math this is always avoided by not dividing with 0.

James deposits $600 in an account that pays 4% simple interest, and $1200 in a second account which has a higher interest rate b

melamori03 [73]

1) $600 deposited at 4% simple interest for one year generates:

$600 * 4% = $600 * 0040 = $24

2) If he wants to earn $132 in interest for the year, he yet needs to generate $132 - $24 = $108 (additional)

3) The interest rate to generate $108 on a deposit of $1200 in a year, at simple interest is:

$1200 * (r) = $108 => r = 108 / 1200 = 0.09 = 9/100 = 9%

Answer: 9%
