Answer: 0.714286
turn 7/10 into .7 and divide normally
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
At least 7 times.
Explanation:
Since 10% of the water in the jug is removed each time, this means that 100-10=90% of the water remains.
After two times, we would have 0.9(0.9) = 0.81 = 81% of the water; each time she pours, the number of times 0.9 is multiplied by itself changes. This makes this an exponential inequality (it is not an equation, as we want "less than half of the water"):

To solve this, we will use logarithms:

28, 14, 7, 0 is a sequence for this
That would be 37.5 percent
Answer:
x-5+ 
Step-by-step explanation:
If x+2 is a factor, -2 is a zero. So we can put -2 in the left-hand corner of your synthetic division, bring the coefficients down so you'll have a set up like this:
-2 | 1 -3 -7
____________
1. bring down the 1:
-2 | 1 -3 -7
____________
1
2. multiply that by -2 and enter the result underneath 3:
-2 | 1 -3 -7
-2
___________
1
a. then, add through:
-2 | 1 -3 -7
-2
___________
1 -5
3. Do the same for -5 (multiply by the zero -2), enter that underneath -7 and add through:
-2 | 1 -3 -7
-2 10
___________
1 -5 3
Now, reassign the coefficients to their x. Because we already factored out an x with the zero, the 1 is assigned to 'x' rather than back to '
'. The '-5' will not have an x attached. '3' is your remainder and cannot be divided out any further, so it will be written as
. Finally, just put them back together to get x-5+
.
Hope this helped!
