Answer:

2062 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, you have an exponential function going on here. If you start with 900 employees and add 5 percent to the amount of employees (multiply by 1.005) seventeen times, you will get the equation E=900*1.05^{17}. If we round down (because there can not be a fraction of an employee), there will be 2062 employees after 17 years.

Whats the solution of <br> y = x +2 <br> 2x - 5y = 2
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

x = -4, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute for y

2x - 5(x + 2) = 2

distribute -5

2x -5x - 10 = 2

solve

-3x - 10 = 2

add 10 on both sides

-3x = 12

divide by -3

x = -4

now substitute for x in the equation y = x + 2

y = -4 + 2

y = -2

A computer can sort x objects in t seconds, as modeled by the function
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

  36 objects

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the value of x when t=9, so you're solving ...

  9 = 0.007x^2 +0.003x

  9 = 0.007(x^2 + 3/7x)

From here, we observe that an approximation is probably sufficient.

 9/0.007 = x(x +3/7) . . . . . the expression on the right is nearly x^2

  x ≈ 3/√.007 ≈ 35.9 ≈ 36

We can check:

  .007(36)(36 3/7) = 9.18

  .007(35)(35 3/7) = 8.68

To keep the computer busy for 9 seconds, it needs to sort 36 objects.
