Answer:

Daily allowance of Lily's brother is approximately <u>$10</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represents Lily's daily allowance and let B represents her brother's daily allowance, we can therefore obtain the following from the question:

L - B = $8 ........................ (1)  => Indicating the difference in their pocket money

(2/3)L = B + $2 ..................... (2) => Indicating Lily's allowance is $2 more than what her brother gets

From equation (1), we find L as follows:

L = $8 + B ...................................... (3)

Substituting L from equation (3) into equation (2) and solve for B as follows:

(2/3)($8 + B) = B + $2

0.67($8 + B) = B + $2

$5.36 + 0.67B = B + $2

$5.36 - $2 = B - 0.67B

$3.36 = 0.33B

B = $3.36 / 0.33

B = 10.18, or $10 approximately.

Therefore, daily allowance of Lily's brother is approximately <u>$10</u>.

<u>Confirmation Note:</u>

Note that this is not part of the answer to the question. It is just meant to assist you in having a deeper understanding of the question and the answer.

The above answer can be confirmed as follows:

Substituting B = $10 into equation (3), we have:

L = $8 + $10 = $18

This implies that Lily's daily allowance is $18.

Substituting for L = $18 and B = $10 into equation (1), we have:

$18 - $10 = $8 => this confirms that the difference in their pocket money is $8.

Also, substituting for L = $18 and B = $10 into equation (2), we have:

(2/3)18 = 10 + $2 => 12 = 12 => since 12 minus 10 is equal to $2, this confirms that 2/3 of lily's allowance is $2 more than what her brother gets.

A.) P(t) = P0exp(kt)
P(20/60) = 40 exp(20k/60)
80 = 40 exp(k/3)
exp(k/3) = 80/40 = 2
k/3 = ln(2)
k = 3ln(2)

b.) P(8) = 40(2)^24 = 40(16777216) = 671088640 cells

d.) Rate of change = exp(8k) = exp(8(3ln(2)) = exp(24ln(2)) = exp(16.6355) = 16777216 cells / hour

e.) P(t) = 40(2)^3t; t in hours
1,000,000 = 40(8)^t
25,000 = 8^t
ln(25,000) = t ln(8)
t = ln(25,000)/ln(8) = 4.87 hours

The length of a rectangle is 2 meters less than 3 times the width. The perimeter is 44
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Width of rectangle = 6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Width of rectangle = x

Length of rectangle = 3x-2

Perimeter of rectangle = 44 meters

We need to find:

The Width of rectangle.

The formula used is:

Perimeter\:of\:rectangle=2(Length\times Width)

Putting values and finding value of x

Perimeter\:of\:rectangle=2(Length\times Width)\\44=2(3x-2+x)\\44=2(4x-2)\\44=8x-4\\8x=44+4\\8x=48\\x=\frac{48}{8}\\x=6

So, we get the value of x = 6.

We know that Width of rectangle = x = 6

So, Width of rectangle = 6 meters

If FX) = 3x+6, which of the following is the inverse of Fx)?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

C. F'(x) = x - 6 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 6

x = 3y + 6 \\ x - 6 = 3y + 6 - 6

\frac{x - 6}{3}  =  \frac{3y}{3}

y =  \frac{x - 6}{3}

f1 =  \frac{x - 6}{3}
