Answer:
Initial population is 2,466,000 ( p0 )
Growth is 1.1% each year ( r=1.1
p(t)=p0(1+r)t
After 30 years, the population of Jamaica should be 3.42 million by that calculation, but it is only 2.95 million, so apparently that growth rate was a little high, or wasn’t sustained.
Let the length of the shortest side = x
The two longer sides that are equal = 3x
The are two equal longer sides, so their total is 3x + 3x = 6x
3x+ 3x + x= 35 Collect like terms on the left
7x = 35 Divide by 7 on both sides
x = 35/7
x = 5
Answer
Two long sides -- 15 cm each
Shortest side -- 5 cm
Answer:x=6
Step-by-step explanation:Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 18 = 18
Step-2 : Find two factors of 18 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .
-18 + -1 = -19
-9 + -2 = -11
-6 + -3 = -9 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and -3
x2 - 6x - 3x - 18
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-6)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (x-6)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x-3) • (x-6)
Which is the desired factorization
