To do the first question, simplify the equation, putting like terms together, by adding and subtracting to do this.
Then looking at the equation that you solved for, look and see if there are any other equations that are related in some way to the original solved equation.
Pay close attention to the positive and negative signs.
To determine the number of cars that will be sold by the year 2020, we will use the equation,
N = (N1)(1 - r)^(t)
where N1 is the starting number of cars, r is the rate of the decrease, and t is the number of years from 2012. Substituting the konwn values,
N = (500)(1 - 0.028)^(8)
N = 398.38
The closest integer to the calculated value is 398. Thus, the answer is 398 cars.
Answer:

And for this case we want a gpa of 3.0 taking in count that in this semester he/ she is going to take 16 credits so then the new mean would be given by:

And we can solve for
and solving we got:

And from the previous result we got:

And solving we got:

And then we can find the mean with this formula:

So then we need a 3.3 on this semester in order to get a cumulate gpa of 3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we know that the currently mean is 2.8 and is given by:

Where
represent the number of credits and
the grade for each subject. From this case we can find the following sum:

Answer:
80000 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter + dividing fence = 800
let a = length
let b = width
let c = length of dividing fence
perimeter = 2*a + 2*b
let's say...
c is the same as the length
2a + 2b + c = 800
2a + 2b + a = 800
3a + 2b = 800
area = length*width
area = a*b
area / b = a
3*(area/b) + 2b = 800
3*(area/b) = 800 - 2b
area/b = (800 - 2b)
area = (800 - 2b)*b
To make the area large, we make the right hand side large.
800b - 2b^2
If you put in terms of x, y it looks like a downward opening parabola, so the max area is at the vertex. Half way between the roots.
y = -2x^2 + 800x
y = -x^2 + 400x
0 = x*(-x + 400)
roots are x= 0 and x = 400
vertex is at x, aka b = 200
area at b=200 is (800 - 400)*200 = 80000
and a is area/b... 80000/400 = 200
