Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function s(x)=0.9(.82)^x models the number of subscription in tens of thousands where x represents the number of years since the trend has been observed.

s(x) represents the number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily in a given year.

0.9 in ten thousands represents the initial number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily in a given year.

0.82 represents the rate at which the number of number of subscriptions to the Dorchester Daily is declining. The rate in percentage is 100 - 82 = 12% each year.

x represents the number of years since the trend has been observed.

A quadratic equation has a

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2 \ real \ solutions }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is:

${x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}}$

The discriminant of a quadratic is just the expression under the square root, or $b^2-4ac$ . This can tell us the number of solutions a quadratic has.

If the discriminant is:

Positive = 2 real solutions
Equal to Zero = 1 real double/repeated solution
Negative = 0 real solutions, but 2 imaginary solutions

Our quadratic equation has a discriminant of 5, which is positive. Therefore, it has 2 real solutions.

You use 240 cubic inches of clay to make a sculpture shaped as a rectangular prism. The width is 4 inches less than the length a

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

L: 6

W: 2

H: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to know the expression to calculate the volume of rectangular prism which is:

V = L * W * H

The only thing we know is that the volume is 240 in³ and that the width is 4in less than length, the height is 2 in more than 3 times length. So, everything is set in function of the length, therefore, we'll call L = x and then solve for x

L = x

W = x - 4

H = 3x + 2

Let's replace the data in the formula of volume:

240 = x * (x - 4) * (3x + 2)

240 = (x² - 4x)(3x + 2)

Solving this we have:

240 = 3x³ - 10x² - 8x

Rearranging the equation:

3x³ - 10x² - 8x - 240 = 0

Now, in order to solve this, we need to factorize the left side:

3x³ - 18x² + 8x² - 48x + 40x - 240 = 0

3x²(x - 6) + 8x(x - 6) + 40(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6)(3x² + 8x + 40) = 0

Now that we have this, we can solve the value of x.

x1 -----> x - 6 = 0 ---> x = 6

x2 ---> (3x² + 8x + 40) = 0

Δ = 8² - 4*3*40 = 64 - 480 = -416

This value of -416 means that it's not possible to get a real number as x (only the imaginary numbers), therefore the value of x should be 6

x = L = 6

With this value we can calculate W and H:

H = 6 - 2 = 4

W = (3*6) + 2 = 20

40% of the students in a school band play brass instruments while 4 students play strings instruments

MaRussiya [10]

10 students (brass)=40% of band
4 students (strings)=16% of band
? students (other)=44% rest of band
14/56%=?/44%
(cross multiply to find ?){don't forget to turn percents into decimals}
?=11
There are 25 students in total in the band.
