When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
3rd one 10 x 6 x 6
hope this is right
Answer:
the integer is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+3(x+1)=43
x^2+3x+3=43
x^2+3x+(9/4)=43-3+(9/4)
(x+(3/2))^2=42 1/4
x+(3/2)=sqrt(42 1/4)
x+(3/2)=6 1/2
x=(6 1/2)-(3/2)
x=5
check:
5^2+3(6)=43
25+18=43
43=43
Same thing as before!
First, we can get rid of d(x) simply by looking at it because we can tell it's linear (it's a straight line). If we look at the table, we can see a(x) is also linear because it has a steady rate of growth. b(x) and c(x) both represent exponential growth. The curved shape of b(x) shows us this is exponential growth, and the exponent in c(x) tells us it's also exponential.
Answer:
c
