Answer:

a) The number of ants in week three is shown through the following geometric progression: 500*1.1*1.1*1.1

b) 1.21

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 500 ants are increasing at a rate of 10% every week which means that we can calculate the week one ants like this

500*1.1

Week two

500*1.1*1.1

and so on.

We write the following equation

500(1.1)^n where n is the number of weeks

We plug in 8 and then 6 for n in the equation above and get

500(1.1)^8=1071.79

500(1.1)^6=885.78

Divide and get that p=1.21

Write 9,540,000 in expanded form using exponents to show powers of 10
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

9* 10^{6}+ 5* 10^{5}+4* 10^{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  :  9,540,000

To find : Write 9,540,000 in expanded form using exponents to show powers of 10.

Solution : We have given 9,540,000

Here 9 is at million place 9000000

5 is at hundred thousand place = 500,000.

4 is at tens thousand place = 40,000

We expanded it as

9, 000,000 + 500,000+40,000.

In term of power of 10.

9* 10^{6}+ 5* 10^{5}+4* 10^{4}.

Therefore,

9* 10^{6}+ 5* 10^{5}+4* 10^{4}.

The circumference of the base of a cylinder is 24π mm. A similar cylinder has a base with circumference of 60π mm. The lateral a
earnstyle [38]
Given that the figures are similar polygons, the ratio of their ratios should be equal to the square of the ratio of their circumference. If we let x be the lateral area of the smaller cylinder then,
                        (x/210π) = (24π/60π)²
The value of x from the equation is, 
                                     x = 33.6π
Thus, the area of the smaller cylinder is equal to 33.6π mm².

What is the answer to this equation? Must solve for x.<br> x+5=12x−4
natulia [17]

Answer:

x = 9/11

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5 = 12x - 4

Subtract x from both sides

x + 5 - x = 12x - x - 4

        5   = 11x - 4

Add 4 to both sides

      5+ 4 = 11x - 4 + 4

            9 = 11x

Divide both sides by 11

         9/11 = 11x/11

          9/11 = x

x = 9/11

The polynomial p(x)=x^3-19x-30 has a known factor of (x+2)
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

(x+2) (x+3) (x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x³-19x-30 = (x+2) (x²+ax-15)  ... x³=x*(1*x²)   while -30= (2)*(-15)

x³ +<u> 0</u>*x² - 19x -30 = x³ + (<u>2+a</u>)x² + (2a-15)x -30

2+a = 0

a = -2

x³-19x-30 = (x+2) (x²-2x-15) = (x+2) (x+3) (x-5)
