The answer is 87,455

P(x) = P(0) * nˣ
P(x) - the final population after period x
P(0) - the initial population
n - the growth factor in decimal
x - period of time

x = 3 hours
P(3) = 25,143
P(0) = ?
n = 100- 34% = 66% = 0.66


P(x) = P(0) * nˣ
25,143 = P(0) * 0.66³
25,143 = P(0) * 0.287496
P(0) = 25,143 / 0.287496
P(0) ≈ 87,455

How do you solve this problem: 2y(6 - 1)(6 - 1) = - 200
Lorico [155]

Solve: 2y(6 - 1)(6 - 1) = - 200


Simplify both sides of the equation:


50y = - 200



Divide both sides by 50


50y/50 = -200/50


y = - 4





Answer: y = - 4





Hope that helps!!!!!!! (Answer: y = - 4)

If f'(x) is (x-4)(4-2x) , what is f(x)?
butalik [34]
We can apply some rules backwards

first
f'(x)=
(x-4)(-2x+4)
-2x^2+12x-16

we know that
f'(rx^n)=rnx^{n-1}
so therefor maybe
-2x^2=rnx^{n-1}
2=n-1
n=3
rn=-2
3r=-2
r=-2/3

one is
\frac{-2}{3}x^3
second part

12x
12x=rnx^{n-1}
x^1, 1=n-1
n=2
rn=12
2r=12
r=6
6x^2 is the second bit

last part
-16
-16x^0=rnx^{n-1}
0=n-1
n=1

rn=-16
1r=-16
r=-16

-16x^1

so therfor f(x)=\frac{-2}{3}x^3+6x^2-16x

X + ky = 1
Marina CMI [18]
X + k y = 1
k x + y = 1  / * ( - k )
----------------
      x + k y = 1
- k² x - k y = - k
--------------------
x - k² x = 1 - k
x ( 1 - k² ) = 1 - k
x = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k² ) = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k ) ( 1 + k )
y = 1 - k( 1 - k )/( 1 - k² )
y = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k² ) = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k ) ( 1 + k )
a ) For  k = - 1 this system has no solution.
b ) For k ≠ - 1 and k ≠ 1, the system has unique solution:
( x , y ) = ( 1/ (1 + k) ,  1/( 1 + k ) ).
c ) For k = 1, there are infinitely many solutions.
