Answer:
There may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since at any point in time, there could be bicycles, tricycles, and cars in the school parking lot, and today, there are 53 wheels in total, if there are 15 bicycles, tricycles, and cars in total, to determine how many tricycles could be in the parking lot, the following calculation must be performed:
13 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 1 x 2 = 57
11 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 3 x 2 = 53
10 x 4 + 3 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 53
8 x 4 + 5 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 51
10 x 2 + 1 x 3 + 4 x 4 = 39
9 x 3 + 1 x 2 + 5 x 4 = 49
Therefore, there may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40. So therefore, the numbers would be 2 and 4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your exponential formula is in the form y = ab^x. In this form, the coefficient 'a' is the initial value, the y-intercept, the value when x=0. The value 'b' is the growth factor, which is 1 more than the growth rate per increment of x. This problem is asking for the growth rate to be expressed as a percentage.
__
Given p(x) = 78500(1.02^x), we can compare to the exponential function form to see that ...
- a = 78,500
- b = 1.02 = 1 +0.02 = 1 +2%
The value of x is zero in the year 2000, so the population that year is ...
p(0) = a = 78,500
The increase per year is the value of 'b' with 1 subtracted:
growth rate = 2% per year
