Answer:

The inequality is not true

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$-2(2x+9)> -4x+9$

Distributed left side

$-4x-18 > -4x+9$

Adds 4x both sides

$-18 > 9$ ----> is not true

Answer:

The inequality is False

Step-by-step explanation:

We say that an inequality is true when the inequality symbol is satisfied. For example

$5> 2$ → True

On the contrary when inequality is not satisfied we say that it is false. For example:

$2> 30$ → False

2 is not greater than 30, therefore it is said that inequality is not satisfied.

In this case we have the following inequality:

$-2(2x+9)>-4x+9$

To find out if inequality is satisfied, we simplify the terms

$-2(2x+9)>-4x+9$

$-4x-18>-4x+9$

$-18>9$

Observe that -18 is not greater than 9, therefore it is said that inequality is not satisfied.

Kyle divided two numbers in scientific notation using the interactive calculator and found a solution of 3.5E4. If the numerator

Maru [420]

Answer:

a=2, b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

n -----> the denominator

we have

$3.5*10^4=\frac{7*10^9}{n}$

Solve for n

That means -----> isolate the variable n

Multiply by n both sides

$3.5*10^4(n)=7*10^9$

Divide by 3.5*10^4 both sides

$n=\frac{7*10^9}{3.5*10^4}=(\frac{7}{3.5})(\frac{10^9}{10^4})=2*10^5$

therefore

a=2, b=5

The differential equation in Example 3 of Section 2.1 is a well-known population model. Suppose the DE is changed to dP dt = P(a

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the integral of the DE;

$dP/dt=P(aP-b)$

$dP=P(aP-b)dt$

$1/(dP^2-bP)dP=dt$

We can solve this by integration by parts on the left side. We expand the fraction 1/P²:

$1/(d-b/P)\cdot{P^2} dP$

let

$u=d-b/P$

$du/dP=b/P^2$

$dP=$ $\int\limits {P^2/b} \, du$

$P=lnu/b$

Substitute u in:

$P=ln(d-b/P)/b$

Therefore the equation is:

$ln(d-b/P)/b=t$

We simplify:

$d-b/P=e^b^t$

$P=b/(d-e^b^t)$

As t increases to infinity P will decrease

Name a decimal between 0.4 and 0.5

Aliun [14]

To find a number between both decimals, what you can do is take the average of both numbers.

We have then:

$average = \frac{0.4+0.5}{2}$

Rewriting we have:

$average = \frac{0.9}{2} \\average = 0.45$

Therefore, the decimal obtained is a number between 0.4 and 0.5

Answer:

a decimal between 0.4 and 0.5 is:

$average = 0.45$

Solve the system of linear equations by using the elimination method: 4x+ y = 36 8x- y = 60

katrin [286]

Answer:

(8,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

y and -y cancels out leaving you with "12x=96"

that simplifies to "x=8"

Then you substitute 8 into the "x" from either equation and y should equal 4
