Let

x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag

we know that

1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x

remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x

2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x

remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x

3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x

remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x

4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10

(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts

5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts

6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts

7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts

8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts

9) Preston took 10

so

check

108+54+81+10=253

remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct

Given a polynomial f(x), if (x + 5) is a factor, what else must be true?
PolarNik [594]
Rule: If x-k is a factor of p(x), then p(k) = 0. This is a special case of the remainder theorem.

Using that rule, we can see that x+5 is really x-(-5) so k = -5. 

Therefore,

p(k) = 0
p(-5) = 0

so the answer is choice D.

Jeremiah currently has an account balance of $1624.35. His initial deposit on the account was $975 and it earned 3.7% simple int
Naya [18.7K]

Current Account Balance = $1,624.35

Initial Deposit = $975

Interest Rate (Simple) = 3.7% simple interest

Interest Earned = Current Account Balance - Initial Deposit

⇒ Interest Earned = $1,624.35 - $975

⇒ Interest Earned = $649.35

Now the Formula for Simple Interest is:

Simple Interest = ×\frac{\text{P x R x T}}{100}, where P is the initial deposit, R is the rate of interest and T is the time period

⇒ 649.35 = \frac{\text{975 x 3.7 x T}}{100}

⇒ T = \frac{\text{649.35 x 100}}{\text{975 x 3.7}}

⇒ T = 18

Hence, Jeremiah has had the account for 18 years.

When rabbits were introduced to the continent of Australia they quickly multiplied and spread across the continent since there w
Reil [10]

Given the first term at t₀ is 6 and the second term at t₃ is 32, let's take rabbit population as a function of time to be:

y = abˣ

where y is the population at time x and a the initial population at t₀

32 = 6b³

b = 1.75

Now we replace b in the population function:

y = 6(1.75)ˣ regression for the rabbit population as a function of time x.

The exponential function in terms of base is usually expressed as:

A = A₀e^kt

Hence, the regression equation in terms of base e is:

We substitute en last function, y - value with any number higher than 10,000 to estimate the time for the rabbits to exceed 10,000.

Hence, it takes approximately 13.3 months for the population to exceed 10000
