It would help if you find common denominator... 12
so 1/3 times 4 both the numerator and denominator
4/12
and 3/4 times by 3 both the numerator and denominator
9/12
the recipe calls for 4/12 cup of oil and you have 9/12
two batches would be 8/12 cups of oil, you have 9/12 that is just enough for the recipe for two batches...
now to simplify it again, 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3 and 2/3 is less than 3/4
the answer would be the upper right
I need a lil more information
Since 4 is between 2 & 5 you input it into the middle equation.
x=4
so the answer is 4!
The general formula for exponential growth and decays is:
if k>0 then then it is an exponential growth function. If k<0 then the function represents an exponential decay.
Now we need to classify each of the functions:
1.
The function
can be wrtten as:
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=2, therefore this is an exponential growth.
2.
The function
can be written as:
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-4, therefore this is an exponential decay.
3.
The function
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-1, therefore this is an exponential decay.
Answer:
D) 3x^2 - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Using PEMDAS;
There is no need to evaluate the part of the equation (x^2 - 8) because is no need to, as it is already in its simplest form.
We must evaluate the part of the equation continuing with, "- (-2x^2+4)," as it is not in its simplest form.
Evaluating "- (-2x^2+4)":
Step 1: Distributing the negative
Once distributing the negative symbol amongst the values within the parenthesis according to PEMDAS, we get "2x^2 - 4" as the product.
Step 2: Consider the rest of the equation to evaluate
Since the part of the equation is still in play here as it is a part of the original equation to be solved, we must evaluate it as a whole to get the final answer.
Thus,
x^2 -8 + 2x^2 - 4 = ___
*we can remove the parenthesis as it has no purpose, since it makes no difference.
Evaluating for the answer, we get,
x^2+2x^2 + (-8 - 4) = 3x^2 - 12
Hence, the answer is D) 3x^2 - 12.
