To write the function correctly, it is important to assign variables correctly and understand the situation of the problem clearly. For this, we let y the number of people and x as the number of songs played.
At x = 0 y = 567
at x = 1 y = 567 - 567(1/3)
at x = 2 y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)
at x = 3 y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)
Therefore, the number of people left after x songs would be represented by the equation:
y = 567 - 567(1/3)x
y = 567 ( 1- x/3 )
Answer:
-50
Step-by-step explanation:
b-5
b-5 = -45 ( collect like terms)
b = -45 + -5
b = -45 -5 b = -50
You can solve using the pythagorean theorem which is
a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
12^2+x^2=24^2
144+x^2=576
x^2=432
x =20.78 (approximately)
