Both 6 and 21 are divisive by 3 so each 7 day week the library hires 2 people.
answer is 2
Answer:
a = 0.5 or 1/2
b = 19/4 or 4.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Isolate <em>x</em>'s
x² - x = -5
Step 2: Complete the Square
x² - x + 1/4 = -5 + 1/4
(x - 1/2)² = -19/4
Step 3: Move everything to one side
(x - 0.5)² + 4.75
167, 15, -65, -110, -197, -200
Answer:
11.0 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function describing the population growth can be written ...
population = (initial population)×(1 +growth rate)^years
If t represents the number of years, we can fill in the values to get ...
18500 = 12000×1.04^t
Dividing by 12000 gives ...
18500/12000 = 1.04^t
Taking logarithms, we have ...
log(18500/12000) = t×log(1.04)
t = log(185/120)/log(1.04) ≈ 11.037 ≈ 11.0
It will be 11.0 years until the population reaches 18,500.
7/2
The expression that best estimates 6 3/4 divided by 1 2/3 is 7/2. 6 3/4 (or 6.75) divided by 1 2/3 (or 1.66...) comes out to 4 1/20 (or 4.05). The closest value to this in the options available is 7/2 (or 3.5). This answer is only .55 away from the correct value, while the rest of the options are far less close.
