Answer:

After 120 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of seconds after which both spotlights will change colors at the same time again.

Basically, what we want to do here is to

calculate the value with which 30 and 40 have the same multiples or we want to

calculate the lowest common multiple of 30 and 40

The multiples of 30 are 30,60,90,120 etc

The multiples of 40 are 40,80,120 etc

We can see that the lowest common multiple of both is 120

So therefore the spotlights will change colors at the same time after 120 seconds

A city has a population of 230,000 people. Suppose that each year the population grows by 9%. What will the population be after
zloy xaker [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<h2><u>385,733</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If it grows by 9% each year, you can simply do the current population times 109%. Because its an additional 9%.

230,000*109% = 250,700

After the first year, there is a population of 250,700 people.

250,700*109% = 273,263

After the second year, there is a population of 273,263 people.

273,263*109% = 297,856.67

After the third year, there is a population of 297,856.67 people.

297,856.67*109% = 324,663.77

After the fourth year, there is a population of 324,663.77 people.

324,663.77*109% = 353,883.509

After the fifth year, there is a population of 353,883.509 people.

353,883.509*109% = 385,733.025

After the sixth year, there is a population of 385,733.025 people

Round it up to 385,733 people.

Expand the expression?

Perform indicated multiplication:

7a(2a)+7a(-5)-4(2a)-4(-5)

14a^2-35a-8a+20  combine like terms, ie (-35a-8a)=-43a

14a^2-43a+20
