It's easy if you just break it into pieces...
1/3 OF the 4/9 French OF people on the bus (27) also speak German.
Of= Multiply
1/3*4/9*27/1=4 speak French AND German
Answer:
9 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)
O = M + 6
Y = M - 3
30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3) ... combine like terms
30 = 3M + 3 ... subtract 3 from both sides
27 = 3M ... divide both sides by 3
9 = M
Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.
The simplified form would be -4×^2-13x+9
Answer:
Account A: Decreasing at 8 % per year
Account B: Decreasing at 10.00 % per year
Account B shows the greater percentage change
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: Percent change from exponential formula
f(x) = 9628(0.92)ˣ
The general formula for an exponential function is
y = ab^x, where
b = the base of the exponential function.
if b < 1, we have an exponential decay function.
ƒ(x) decreases as x increases.
Account A is decreasing each year.
We can rewrite the formula for an exponential decay function as:
y = a(1 – b)ˣ, where
1 – b = the decay factor
b = the percent change in decimal form
If we compare the two formulas, we find
0.92 = 1 - b
b = 1 - 0.92 = 0.08 = 8 %
The account is decreasing at an annual rate of 8 %.The account is decreasing at an annual rate of 10.00 %.
Account B recorded a greater percentage change in the amount of money over the previous year.
