Answer:

Weight of Train A = 454 tons

Weight of Train B = 35 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Let,

A represent weight of Train A

B represent weight of Train B

According to given information:

A + B = 489      Eqn 1

A - B = 419       Eqn 2

Adding Eqn 1 and 2

A + B + A - B = 489 + 419

2A = 908

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2A}{2}=\frac{908}{2}\\A = 454

Putting A = 454 in Eqn 1

454 + B = 489

B = 489 - 454

B = 35

Therefore,

Weight of Train A = 454 tons

Weight of Train B = 35 tons

A fish population in a lake decreases by 2% each year. What is the common ratio? (Write your answer as a decimal)
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

the common ratio is 0.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fish population in a lake decreases by 2% each year. We are asked to find the common ratio.

The decrease of population of fish 2% annually means the population becomes next year 100% - 2% = 98%

Therefore, the common ratio would be 98%. Upon converting 98 percent to a decimal we will get,

98% = \frac{98}{100}=0.98

Therefore, the common ratio or decay factor is 0.98.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

2x for the first term

The whole thing is 2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it like normal division

What will get the closest answer to 2x^2+x?

2x*x-1=2x^2-2x

Now the expression is 3x-3 so if you but 3 than it becomes 3x-3 which would be a remainder of 0

The equation V = 16300 (0.94)^t represents the value (in dollars) of a car t years after its purchase. Use this equation to comp
Dafna1 [17]

Solution:

Given:

V=16300(0.94)^t

The value of a car after t - years will depreciate.

Hence, the equation given represents the value after depreciation over t-years.

To get the rate, we compare the equation with the depreciation formula.

\begin{gathered} A=P(1-r)^t \\ \text{where;} \\ P\text{ is the original value} \\ r\text{ is the rate} \\ t\text{ is the time } \end{gathered}

Hence,

\begin{gathered} V=16300(0.94)^t \\ A=P(1-r)^t \\  \\ \text{Comparing both equations,} \\ P=16300 \\ 1-r=0.94 \\ 1-0.94=r \\ r=0.06 \\ To\text{ percentage,} \\ r=0.06\times100=6\text{ \%} \\  \\ \text{Hence, } \\ P\text{ is the purchase price} \\ r\text{ is the rate} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of this car is decreasing at a rate of 6%. The purchase price of the car was $16,300.

Which of the following polynomial functions is graphed below? OA. f(x) = (x - 2) ^ 2 * (x + 3) * (x - 1) O B. f(x) = (x + 2) ^ 2
laila [671]

The function of the polynomial is (b) f(x) = (x + 2) ^ 2 * (x - 3) * (x + 1)

From the graph, we have the following highlights

  • The graph crosses the x-axis at x = -1 and x = 3
  • The graph touches the x-axis at x = -2

The above highlights mean that:

  • The function has a multiplicity of 1 at x = -1 and x = 3
  • The function has a multiplicity of 2 at x = -2

So, the function of the polynomial is:

f(x) =a(x + 2)^2(x + 1)(x - 3)

Assume a = 1.

So, we have:

f(x) =1(x + 2)^2(x + 1)(x - 3)

Multiply

f(x) =(x + 2)^2(x + 1)(x - 3)

Hence, the function of the polynomial is (b) f(x) = (x + 2) ^ 2 * (x - 3) * (x + 1)
