In 2014 , 2277 was 110% of 2013.

Number in 2013 = 90% of the year before (2012)

Let the number in 2013 be x. From the first statement,

2277 = 110% of x

2277 = (110/100)x

2277 = 1.10x

x = 2277/1.1 = 2070

Number in 2013 is 2070

Number in 2013 = 90% Number in 2012

2070 = (90/100) * Number in 2012

2070 = 0.90 * Number in 2012

2070 / 0.90    = Number in 2012

2300  = Number in 2012

Number in 2012  =  2300

Two positive, consecutive, odd integers have a product of 143.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

<em>The answer is 13</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Two positive and consecutive old numbers are x and x - 2.

=> x(x - 2) = 143

=> x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0

=> x^2 + 11x - 13x - 143 = 0

=> x(x + 11) - 13(x + 11) = 0

=> (x + 11)(x - 13) = 0

=>  x = -11 (invalid)

or x = 13 (valid), the remaining number is 13 - 2 = 11

=> The two numbers are 11 and 13, and the greater number is 13.

Hope this helps!

Explain why the expression 9x^3+1/2x^2+3x^-1 is not a polynomial
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The given expression can't be expressed in polynomial form. Hence, it is not a polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x,n) is a polynomial of nth degree if it is of the form,

P(x,n) = a_{0} + a_{1}x + a_{2}x^{2} + a_{3}x^{3} + ......... +a_{n}x^{n}

where n is a finite positive integer and n ∈ N

and 'a_{i}'s are fixed but otherwise arbitrary constants ∀  i = 0(1)n .

Now, the given expression is,

9x^{3} + \frac {1}{2x^{2}} + 3x^{-1}

which  doesn't fit in the above form. Hence, it is not a polynomial.
