We can use ratios and the cross-multiply-divide to find this.



The ratio 21:5 is avaliable via the question. We then need to compare that to the ratio x:100, the 100 being the percent and the x being the number of airplane parts.



21/5 = x/100



We can then solve for x to find the number of airplane parts. First we multiply by 100 on both sides to get 2100/5 = x. Therefore x = 420 and there are 420 airplane parts.

Schach [20]
The given set is {-1,0,1,2,3,4,5}
(notice the -2 and 6 are excluded)

the subset which contain positive factors of 5 is {1,5}

so the complement set would be
{-1,0,2,3,4) which matches with b)

Find an approximate equation y=ab^x with the coordinates (0, 4) (3, 95)
bogdanovich [222]
We have y=ab^{x}

Plug in (0, 4):
4=ab^{0}⇒4=a
So we now have a

Plug in (3, 95):
95=4b^{3}
⇒b^{3}=\frac{95}{4}
⇒b=\sqrt[3]{\frac{95}{4}}
which is approximately 2.874

So we get
y=4(\sqrt[3]{\frac{95}{4}})^{x}
or, in decimal form,
y=4*2.874^{x}
