Answer:

S(t) = 600/(0.9^t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Current mass: 600 grams

If every millennium loss 10% of its mass, it retains 90%, so a millennium ago the mass was: 600/0.9 = 666.67 grams; two millennia it was: 666.67/0.9 = 600/(0.9^2) = 740.74, and so on.

Then, the explicit formula is:

S(t) = 600/(0.9^t)

where t refers to millennia from today.

Hamburgers cost $3 and hotdogs cost $2. The total cost of buying b hamburgers and d hotdogs can be expressed by C=3b+2d. How can
Temka [501]
C = 3b+2d is the same as 3b+2d = C

Let's isolate d. To do this, we first need to subtract 3b from both sides

3b+2d = C
3b+2d-3b = C-3b
2d = C-3b

Then divide both sides by 2

2d = C-3b
2d/2 = (C-3b)/2
d = (C-3b)/2

Take note of the parenthesis as they are very important. We want to divide ALL of C-3b over 2. We don't want to just divide -3b over 2.

The answer choices you have aren't 100% clear but I have a feeling your teacher meant to say d = (C-3b)/2 instead of d = C-3b/2 for choice A

If that assumption is correct, then the answer is choice A.
