Answer:

 1/a = xy/(y-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the reciprocal:

 1/a = 1/(1/x -1/y) = 1/((y-x)/(xy))

 1/a = xy/(y-x)

Bill has a box of markers that has a base of 8 cm by 20 cm and a height of 6 cm. Martin's pencil box has a height of 4 cm and a
Maslowich
Ok so you need to multiply the length, width, and height together for each one.
Bill: 8 x 20 x 6 = 960
Martin: 4 x 15 x 16 = 960
So Bill is right, they both have the same volume.

USPshnik [31]

We have been given that a limited edition poster increases in value each year with an initial value of $18. After one year and an increase of 15% per year, the poster is worth $20.70.  

We will use exponential growth formula to find our required equation.

We know that an exponential function is in form y=a\cdot (1+r)^x, where

a = Initial value,

r = Growth rate in decimal form,    

x = Time.    

Let us convert 15% into percentage.

15\%=\frac{15}{100}=0.15

Initial value is 18.

Upon substituting these values in above formula, we will get:

y=18(1+0.15)^x

y=18(1.15)^x

Let us check our function by finding the value of poster after one year as:

y=18(1.15)^1

y=18(1.15)

y=20.70

Since the value of poster after 1 year matched with our findings, therefore, the equation y=18(1.15)^xcan be used to fund the value, y, after x years.

Agata [3.3K]
Nicole rented the bike for 26.6 minutes.
43=15+57(x)
now because 57 is the hourly rate it needs to be divided by the number of minutes in one hour (60).
57/60=0.95cents
now put that aside for later use, the next step in the equation is to subtract the one time fee of $15 from the total spent.
$28 is what is left, now it's time to take that 0.95 and put it to use!
28*0.95=26.6
to double check that the math is correct take the 15+28 and make sure it adds up to 43
