X² + x - 20
= (x+5)(x-4)
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
hence the answer is C
Answer: the number of shoppers on the first day is 125
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of shoppers is 20% more than the numbers of shoppers the day before. It means that the number of shoppers is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as
Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)
Where
n represents the number of term in the sequence.
a represents the first term in the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
From the information given,
r = 1 + 20/100 = 1.2
n = 4(first 4 days)
S4 = 671
Therefore, the expression for the first 4 days is
671 = (a × 1.2^(4) - 1)/1.2 - 1
671 = (a × 1.2^(4) - 1)/0.2
671 = 1.0736a/0.2
671 = 5.368a
a = 671/5.368
a = 125
E+r=
(e=9)
r=1.50)
or 9+1.50=
I think
435(12.2/100)
5307/100
53.07 :P people are integers so about 53 representatives are from California (Precisely why we have a Senate with two from each state LOL)
