the annual rate of inflation is given by the formula I = (p2/p1)^1/n - 1, where p1 is the initial price of an item and p2 is the

final price of an item over a period of n years. In 1980, the average price of an ounce of gold was $850. By 2011, the average price was $1,800. In this situation, what is n?

Answer:

<h2>The value of n is 31 years.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is formed by different variables, where n indicates the period of time in years where the rate of inflation is calculated.

In this case, we have a period from 1980 to 2011. The difference between these years would be the period of time used to find the inflation rate.

2011-1980=31

Therefore, the value of n is 31 years.

How to write unit form for (2 tens 1 one) x 10
poizon [28]
Numbers are arranged by their place values. Place values give a quantity of value to a certain digit in a number. Given a number, the rightmost number is the ones place, followed by the tens place, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, ten millions, hundred millions, as so on and so forth. The place value of a certain digit is 10 times bigger than its adjacent digit to the right.

So for this problem, all you have to do is multiply the number of units of each place value, then multiple them all by 10.

(2(10) + 1(1))×10
21 × 10 = 210

Therefore, the number is equivalent and written as 210.

Given: f(x)=x^(2)-3 and g(x)=x+1 the composite function g*f is
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

<h2>x³ + x² - 3x - 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming g*f means g times f,  so you want to multiply the two functions together.  

(x² - 3)(x + 1)                 Since the product is 2 binomials, use FOIL

                      =  x²(x) + x²(1) - 3(x) - 3(1)

which simplifies to

<h2>x³ + x² - 3x - 3</h2>

2500 + 20%=what's the answer
zysi [14]

Answer:

  as written: 2500.2

  as intended: 3000

Step-by-step explanation:

20% = 0.2, so adding 0.2 to 2500 gives 2500.2

_____

We suspect you want to add 20% of 2500 to 2500. That is ...

  2500 + 20%×2500

  = 2500 + 0.20×2500

  = 2500 + 500

  = 3000

<em>Comment on percentages</em>

A percentage is a pure number. It is a ratio of like quantities, so has no units.* A <em>useful</em> percentage always has a base. That is, it is a percentage <em>of something</em>. Sometimes that base may be unclear or unstated, in which case the percentage might very well be considered to be meaningless.

In any event, a percentage is simply a (unitless) fraction. The "%" symbol means the same thing as "/100", so 20% means 20/100 = 2/10 = 1/5.

The very clear math expression 2500 +20% means simply 2500 + 1/5, which is the mixed number 2500 1/5 or the decimal value 2500.2. Usually, when we want to add a percentage to some value, we want the percentage to be <em>of the original value</em>. When that is written as a math expression, it must show this:

  2500 + 20% of 2500

  2500 + 20%×2500

  2500(1 +20%)

_____

* The concentration or potency of some medicines or other mixtures may be expressed as a percentage that is the ratio of one unit to a different unit, typically weight per volume. That is, a "0.1%" preparation may be 0.1 grams per 100 mL, for example. You have to read the label to determine whether this is the case. Mathematically, this is not a percentage, but is a non-standard use of the "%" symbol to indicate a ratio to 100 of something.
