If xy=0 assume that x and y=0
so
(2x-8)(7x+5)=0
assume
2x-8=0 and 7x+5=0
solve each
2x-8=0
2x=8
x=4
7x+5=0
7x=-5
x=-5/7
so x=-5/7 or 4
Answer:
P(t) = 3000 * 4^(t/10)
Step-by-step explanation:
There is more than one way to get an exponential function out of the information given. The way the question is worded, however, seems to suggest the following type of answer:
One general form of the exponential function is y = a·bx, where a is the initial value, and b is the growth or decay factor. So right away we can say that a = 2300.
Now for the growth factor. When something is increasing or decreasing by a certain percentage, we are adding or subtracting that percentage to the 100% (which is equal to 1) that exists currently. So here we're increasing by 11%, or 0.11. Then the growth factor b is (1 + 0.11), or 1.11.
Answer:
y=3. (-1)-1
y= -3-1
y= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The cut-off point is 0.5: higher than this would be closer to 1, and lower would be closer to 0
and 3/8 is lower than 0.5: we know this because a bigger number, 4/8 is equal to 0.5
so it's closer to 0!
We want to use elimination to solve
y = 0 (1)
x + y = 40 (2)
Multiply (1) by -1 to eliminate y.
-y = 0 (3)
Add (2) and (3).
x + y + (-y) = 40 + 0
x = 40
Answer: Multiply by -1.
