Jared wrote an equation for the perimeter of an equilateral triangle as 3x = 20. What does x represent in his equation?

ratelena [41]

The perimeter of an object is equal to its sides added up. Because this is a triangle, it will have 3 equal sides. Since the triangle has 3 equal sides, its perimeter will be equal to one of its side lengths * 3.

Because the perimeter will be equal to one of its side lengths * 3, x is equal to one of the triangle's side lengths.

Suppose a population of honey bees in Ephraim, UT has an initial population of 2300 and 12 years later the population reaches 13

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

common ratio: 1.155

rate of growth: 15.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The model for exponential growth of population P looks like: $P(t)=P_i(1+r)^t$

where $P(t)$ is the population at time "t",

$P_i$ is the initial (starting) population

$(1+r)$ is the common ratio,

and $r$ is the rate of growth

Therefore, in our case we can replace specific values in this expression (including population after 12 years, and initial population), and solve for the unknown common ratio and its related rate of growth:

$P(t)=P_i(1+r)^t\\13000=2300*(1+r)^{12}\\\frac{13000}{2300} = (1+r)^12\\\frac{130}{23} = (1+r)^{12}\\1+r=\sqrt[12]{\frac{130}{23} } =1.155273\\$

This (1+r) is the common ratio, that we are asked to round to the nearest thousandth, so we use: 1.155

We are also asked to find the rate of increase (r), and to express it in percent form. Therefore we use the last equation shown above to solve for "r" and express tin percent form:

$1+r=1.155273\\r=1.155273-1=0.155273$

So, this number in percent form (and rounded to the nearest tenth as requested) is: 15.5 %

Kareem cannot decide which of two washing machines to buy. The selling price of each is $650. The first is marked down by 40%.

gregori [183]

Each washing machine is $390 and the first washing machine is better because its marked down all the way in stead of a discount, meaning that the tax will be lower (I think)
