the germination rate for zinnia seeds is 78%. this means that 78 out of every 100 seeds will sprout and grow. if james wants 60

Answer: 77 seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The germination rate for zinnia seeds =78%

Let x be the total number of seeds he planted, then

The seeds germinated= 78% of x

⇒The seeds germinated= 0.78x

If James wants 60 zinnia plants for his yard, then it will give the equation

$0.78x=60\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{60}{0.78}\\\Rightarrow\frac{6000}{78}\\\Rightarrow\ x=76.92307\aprrox77$

Hence, he should plant 77 seeds .

It would be $2.25 if each student pays one more penny than the last one the penny count would be up to 150 pennies times the number of student which is 150 so multiply and add your decimal

Implicit Differentiation

The derivative of a constant is equal to 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Product Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [f(x)g(x)]=f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x)$

Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

-y - 2x³ = y²

Rate of change of tangent line at point (-1, -2)

<u>Step 2: Differentiate Pt. 1</u>

<em>Find 1st Derivative</em>

Implicit Differentiation [Basic Power Rule]: $-y'-6x^2=2yy'$
[Algebra] Isolate <em>y'</em> terms: $-6x^2=2yy'+y'$
[Algebra] Factor <em>y'</em>: $-6x^2=y'(2y+1)$
[Algebra] Isolate <em>y'</em>: $\frac{-6x^2}{(2y+1)}=y'$
[Algebra] Rewrite: $y' = \frac{-6x^2}{(2y+1)}$

<u>Step 3: Differentiate Pt. 2</u>

<em>Find 2nd Derivative</em>

Differentiate [Quotient Rule/Basic Power Rule]: $y'' = \frac{-12x(2y+1)+6x^2(2y')}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Simplify: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x+12x^2y'}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Back-Substitute <em>y'</em>: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x+12x^2(\frac{-6x^2}{2y+1} )}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Simplify: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x-\frac{72x^4}{2y+1} }{(2y+1)^2}$

<u>Step 4: Find Slope at Given Point</u>

[Algebra] Substitute in <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-24(-1)(-2)-12(-1)-\frac{72(-1)^4}{2(-2)+1} }{(2(-2)+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Exponents: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-24(-1)(-2)-12(-1)-\frac{72(1)}{2(-2)+1} }{(2(-2)+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Multiply: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-48+12-\frac{72}{-4+1} }{(-4+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Add: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36-\frac{72}{-3} }{(-3)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Exponents: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36-\frac{72}{-3} }{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Divide: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36+24 }{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Add: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-12}{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Simplify: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-4}{3}$

Answer:

Month 1 : 0.002988

Month 2: 0.00299692814

Month 3: 0.00300588297

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're only finding the interest for the first three months, it's easy to do it by performing the simple interest formula. But first, we need divide 3 by 12, since we calculate interest using years. 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25

The standard simple interest calculation is done by multiplying the starting amount, by the interest, by the time, then dividing by 100 to put it into a percentage.

1 month = 1/12 or approximately 0.083 of the year.

Let's say P = 1. For the first month, it will be 1 x 3.6 x 0.083 = 0.2988 / 100

The second month, (1 + 0.002988) * 3.6 * 0.083 = 0.299692814 / 100

The third month, (1.002988 + 0.00299692814) x 3.6 x 0.083 = 0.300588297/100

Given the initial amount be 1, those would be the periodic interest rate during the first three months.
