Mathematics

poizon [28]3 years ago

You have to isolate x. First you start off by adding the like terms which is -3x and -x. By adding them you get -4x.

8 - 4x = 12

Then you subtract 8 on both sides since it is positive to isolate x.
-4x = 4

Then you divide -4 by both sides and get x=4/-4

4/-4 is simplified to -1 so the answer is x= -1

The wildflowers at a national park have been decreasing in numbers. There were 300 wildflowers in the first year that the park s
Scorpion4ik [409]
Although the number of new wildflowers is decreasing, the total number of flowers is increasing every year (assuming flowers aren't dying or otherwise being removed). Every year, 25% of the number of new flowers from the previous year are added.
The sigma notation would be:
∑ (from n=1 to ∞) 4800 * (1/4)ⁿ , where n is the year. 
Remember that this notation should give us the sum of all new flowers from year 1 to infinite, and the values of new flowers for each year should match those given in the table for years 1, 2, and 3
This means the total number of flowers equals:
Year 1: 4800 * 1/4 = 1200 ]
+
Year 2: 4800 * (1/4)² = 300
+ 
Year 3: 4800 * (1/4)³ = 75
+  
Year 4: 4800 * (1/4)⁴ = 18.75 = ~19 (we can't have a part of a flower)
+
Year 5: 4800 * (1/4)⁵ = 4.68 = ~ 5
+ 
Year 6: 4800 * (1/4)⁶ = 1.17 = ~1
And so on. As you can see, it in the years that follow the number of flowers added approaches zero. Thus, we can approximate the infinite sum of new flowers using just Years 1-6:
1200 + 300 + 75 + 19 + 5 + 1 = 1,600

The perimeter of the polygon above is?
jenyasd209 [6]
Perimeter = the addition of all of the side lengths of the polygon. 

The side lengths are 9cm, 6cm, 10cm, 5cm, 4cm, and 4cm.

So the perimeter is the following...

Perimeter = 9 + 6 + 10 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 38cm total
