The degree refers to the x to some exponent where the highest exponent is the degree.
Degree: 3
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term we just found(of the highest exponent)
Leading Coefficient: 1
The constant term is the term without an x in it.
Constant Term: 1
Answer:
the first step is wrong
it should be 4(x-4)/(x+1)(x-4) - (x+2)/(x-4)(x+1)
If you crossed multiplied than got an equation than x=6 ( if that's what your looking for)
the decimals are commas and the double decimal is a real decimal
Answer:
about 78 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Population
y =ab^t where a is the initial population and b is 1+the percent of increase
t is in years
y = 2000000(1+.04)^t
y = 2000000(1.04)^t
Food
y = a+bt where a is the initial population and b is constant increase
t is in years
b = .5 million = 500000
y = 4000000 +500000t
We need to set these equal and solve for t to determine when food shortage will occur
2000000(1.04)^t= 4000000 +500000t
Using graphing technology, (see attached graph The y axis is in millions of years), where these two lines intersect is the year where food shortages start.
t≈78 years
