"x = 2; a = 5; b = 3" A 5 inch tall bamboo shoot doubles in height every 3 days. If the equation y=ab^x, where x is the number of doubling periods, represents the height of the bamboo shoot.
I believe
30% is bigger than
.
To find the answer, you'd have to convert both the fraction and the percent into decimal form to see which one is truly bigger. Converting the percent is fairly easy. 30% would become 0.30 is decimal form. To find the fraction in decimal form, you'd have to divide the numerator by the denominator, which would be
4 ÷ 15, which makes :
2.6666666666666666666666667.
Now you compare easily. Which one is bigger?
2.666666666666666666666667 or
0.30?
0.30 is bigger. So 30% is bigger out of both of them.
The distance between them is 4.0
The equation would be 1.5-(-2.5)=d
Hope that helps?
Answer:
There could be many, my estimate would be around 100.
Step-by-step explanation:
It may sound exaggerated but it can be.
-4 (2x - 3) > -28
Divide by -4 on both sides. Since we're dividing by a negative, we need to switch the sign.
2x - 3 < 7
Add 3 to both sides
2x < 10
Divide by 2 on both sides
x < 5
