What is the standard form of x/4 - y/3 =1 and 5/x - 2/y=7.

1 answer:

5 0

You can multiply both sides by a number that will get rid of the denominators. For ex. you can multiply the first equation by 12 because 4 and 3 both go into 12 evenly. MAKE SURE YOU MULTIPLY THE OTHER SIDE BY 12 AS WELL! Therefore, 12(x/4) - 12(y/3) = 12(1), or 3x - 4y = 12

The population of a town is 6500 and is increasing at a rate of 4% each year. Create a function for this scenario. At this rate,

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$P_4 = 7604.08$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population increases at a rate of 4% per annum, then:

In year 1:

$P_1 = P_0 + 0.04P_0$

Where $P_0$ is the initial population and $P_n$ is the population in year n

In year 2

$P_2 = P_1 + 0.04P_1$

It can also be written as:

$P_2 = P_0 + 0.04P_0 + 0.04 (P_0 + 0.04P_0)$

Taking out common factor $P_0$

$P_2 = (1 + 0.04) (P_0) + 0.04P_0 (1 + 0.04)$

Taking out common factor (1 + 0.04)

$P_2 = (1 + 0.04) (P_0 + 0.04P_0)$

Taking out again common factor $P_0$

$P_2 = (1 + 0.04) (1 + 0.04) P_0$

Simplifying

$P_2 = P_0 (1 + 0.04) ^ 2$

$P_n = P_0 (1 + 0.04) ^ n$

This is the equation that represents the population for year n

Then, in 4 years, the population will be:

$P_4 = P_0 (1 + 0.04) ^ 4\\P_4 = 6500(1 + 0.04) ^ 4\\P_4 = 7604.08$

Trina invited 60 people to her party and 42 said they would attend. What percent of people said they were NOT able to attend? Pl

Llana [10]

1. simplify 42/60 to 7/10 (42/60 divided by 2 is 21/30, 21/30 divided by 3 is 7/10)
2. if 10 x 10 = 100 than 7 x 10 = 70 so that would make it 70/100 which is 70%
so 70% is the answer

Hope this helps ;)

I need help factoring polynomial 3h9^-192h^6. I don't know where to begin.

Elden [556K]

First, pull out the GCM from the two terms: 3x^6(x^3-64)
Then factor the remains using the difference of cubes: 3x^6(x-4)(x^2+4x+16)
