“3 less than the quotient of y and 4”

Mathematics

Answer:

Expression:

$\dfrac{y}{4}-3$

Value where y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take a look at the sentence:

3 less than the quotient of y and 4

3 less indicates that you will subtract

- 3

Quotient means the result of division.

$\dfrac{y}{4}$

So if we combine the two, it says 3 less than the quotient so we subtract 3 from the quotient:

$\dfrac{y}{4}-3$

So if y = 20, we just substitute the y with 20

$\dfrac{y}{4}-3$

$\dfrac{20}{4}-3$

$5-3=2$

A tree DOUBLES in height each year until it reached its maximum height over the course of 10 years. How many years did it take f

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

9 years

the tree doubles in height

we can make a model

1 x 2 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

4 x 2 = 8

8 x 2 = 16

16 x 2 = 32

32 x 2 = 64

64 x 2 = 128

128 x 2 = 256

256 x 2 = 512

512 x 2 = 1024

Let's say 1024 is the maximum height

half the maximum height is 1024 x 0.5 = 512 so it will take 9 years because it reached 512 on the 9th year

Eric starts with 10 milligrams of a radioactive substance. The amount of the

Ulleksa [173]

Answer: Eric: The 10 is the initial amount, the 1/2 is the decay factor or the rate at which it decreases, and the exponent w is the number of weeks it decreases by factor 1/2, or the time. Andrea, 1 is the initial amount, 0.2 is the decay factor or rate of decrease, w is time passed or number of weeks it's decayed by the factor.

Can someone please explain how to do these?

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

First question answer: The limit is 69

Second question answer: The limit is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first limit, plug in $x=8$ in the expression $(9x-3)$ , that's the answer for linear equations and limits.

So we have:

$9x-3\\9(8)-3\\72-3\\69$

The answer is 69

For the second limit, if we do same thing as the first, we will get division by 0. Also indeterminate form, 0 divided by 0. Thus we would think that the limit does not exist. But if we do some algebra, we can easily simplify it and thus plug in the value $x=1$ into the simplified expression to get the correct answer. Shown below:
