How do you solvethis equation: -3/4(x-8)=1/2x-9

1 answer:

8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute -3/4 with x and 8 which means multiply -3/4 with X and -3/4 with 8. Then leave the subtraction sign between the two.

It should look like -3/4x - (-3/4*8) = 1/2x-9

Now take your sum you got from -3/4*8 and add it to -9

Now that you have -3/4x left on one side and you have one sum on the right take 1/2x and subrtact it to -3/4 x so X is on one side. Last step is to divide your 2 total sums, hope this helps

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence. Then find the fifth term in the sequence.

mr_godi [17]

The sequence: a 1 = - 4, a 2 = 8, a 3 = -16,...
a 2 = a 1 * r
8 = - 4 * r
r = 8 : ( - 4 )
r = - 2
a n = a 1 * r^(n-1)
a 5 = - 4 * ( - 2 ) ^4 = - 4 * 16 = - 64
Answer:
The fifth term in the sequence is - 64.

The population of a colony of mosquitoes obeys the law of uninhibited growth. If there are 1000 mosquitoes initially and there a

Anettt [7]

Answer:

1) The size of the colony after 4 days is 6553 mosquitoes

2) After $t = 4.9\ days$

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question you must use the growth formula

$N = N_0e ^ {kt}$

Where

$N_0$ is the initial population of mosquitoes = 1000

t is the time in days

k is the growth rate

N is the population according to the number of days

We know that when t = 1 and $N_0=1000$ then N = 1600

Then we use these values to find k.

$1600 = 1000e ^{k(1)}\\\\\frac{1600}{1000} = e ^ k\\\\ln(\frac{1600}{1000}) = k\\\\k = 0.47$

Now that we know k we can find the size of the colony after 4 days.

$N = 1000e ^ {0.47(4)}\\\\N = 6553\ mosquitoes$

To know how long it should take for the population to reach 10,000 mosquitoes we must do N = 10000 and solve for t.

$10000 = 1000e ^ {0.47t}\\\\10 = e ^ {0.47t}\\\\ln(10) = 0.47t\\\\t = \frac{ln(10)}{0.47}\\\\t = 4.9\ days$
