Avery in 5 minutes sweeps 1 deck, so in 1 minute she sweeps 1/5 of the deck

Madeline in 7 minutes sweeps 1 deck so in 1 minute she sweeps 1/7 of the deck.

1/5 + 1/7 = 7/35 + 5/35 = 12/35

Together they will sweep 1 deck in x minutes : 1/x

12/35 = 1/x =

X = 35/12 = 2.92 minutes. ( round the answer as needed)

A population of insects increases at a rate of 1.5% per day. About how long will it take the population to double?
never [62]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

46.6 days

Explanation:

The general form for exponential growth is

A=p(1+r)^t, where A is the total amount, p is the initial amount, r is the percent of growth, and t is the amount of time (in this case, days).

We do not know the initial amount, the total amount, or the amount of time.  We do know that r, the percent of growth, is 1.5%; 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015:

A=p(1+0.015)^t

We also know we want the total amount, A, to be twice that of the initial amount, p:

2p = p(1+0.015)^t&#10;\\&#10;2p=p(1.015)^t

Divide both sides by p:

\frac{2p}{p}=\frac{p(1.015)^t}{p}&#10;\\&#10;\\ 2=1.015^t

Using logarithms to solve this,

\log_{1.015}(2)=t&#10;\\&#10;\\46.6=t

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=4x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

<u />f(x)=\frac{x}{4}-5\\ \\y=\frac{x}{4}-5

<u>Swap x and y and solve for y</u>

<u />y=\frac{x}{4}-5\\ \\x=\frac{y}{4}-5\\ \\x+5=\frac{y}{4}\\ \\4(x+5)=y\\\\y=4x+20

<u>Final answer</u>

<u />f^{-1}(x)=4x+20

Keep in mind that we need to swap the variables because a function and its inverse are symmetrical about the line y=x. See the graph below.

Solve the equation. x + 2.6 = 3.5<br>    x = –0.9 <br>   x = –6.1 <br>   x = 6.1<br>    x = 0
denpristay [2]

x + 2.6 = 3.5\\ \\ x=3.5-2.6\\ \\ x=0.9

There may be an error with the first answer choice because it can't have a negative. The problem is x + 2.6 = 3.5 correct?

Hope this helps!
