The population ten years ago was 6,000.
Because the population doubled you divide 12,000 by 2
12,000 / 2 = 6,000
The answer is 17/k because there is no exact way to divide so 17/k is the quotient. :)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the zeros are x = - 1 and x = 3 then the factors are
(x + 1) and (x - 3) and the parabola is the product of the factors, that is
y = a(x + 1)(x - 3) ← where a is a multiplier
To find a substitute (0, - 9) into the equation
- 9 = a(0 + 1)(0 - 3) = a(1)(- 3) = - 3a ( divide both sides by - 3 )
3 = a, thus
y = 3(x + 1)(x - 3) ← expand the factors using FOIL
= 3(x² - 2x - 3) ← distribute by 3
= 3x² - 6x - 9 → A
To find how much each person will get, you have to divide the amount available by the people. There are 2 ways I believe we can do this.
First way
Let's divide.
2÷9= 2/9
Each person would get 2/9 of a gallon if they shared it.
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Second way
I believe it would be easier to convert this into cups. There are 16 cups per gallon.
16×2= 32
Let's divide that by 9.
32÷9= 3 5/9 cups per person.

Each person would receive 2/9 of a gallon.
Hopefully I’m correct but I think it is 7% because 50 -43 equals 7%
