Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
When a problem asks for the value of f(x), find the y value for the given x value. In this instance, since x = 8, y = 0.
18.273 years will take to reach the population of 7500, if a town has a population of 4000 and grows at 3.5% every year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is,
Population of 4000
Rate of grow 3.5% every year
Population after few years 7500
Step:1
Formula to calculate the population with the grow rate every year,
..........................(1)
Where,
F - Population after t years
P - Initial population
r - Rate of grow
t - No.of years
From given,
F = 7500
P = 4000
r = 3.5%
Equation becomes (1),
1.875 = 
Take log on both sides,
Substitute log values,
= 18.273
t = 18.273 year
or
t = 18 years 3 months 2 weeks
Result:
18.273 years will take to reach the population of 7500, if a town has a population of 4000 and grows at 3.5% every year.
She can use 5 or 7 baskets because 35 is divisible by both 5 and 7.
The answer to this question is false
First we must construct an equation to model the problem. (In this case we will use an inequality instead) This is what I came up with:
450.20+0.15s>=600.10
This equation shows how if her base earnings ($450.20) are added to 15% of her sales, represented by s, then the total will be greater than or equal to $600.10
Next, we simply solve for s. (steps shown below)
1) 450.20+0.15s>=600.10 (simply restating the inequality)
2) 0.15s>=149.90 (here I isolated the variable)
3)0.15s/0.15>=149.90/0.15 (Finally I solve for s by dividing both sides by 0.15, this will isolate s on the left and leave the answer on the right)
4) s>=999.33... (here I found the total sales the salesperson would need to reach his/her goal of earning a minimum of $600.10; the 3's after the decimal are repeating so in the next step I will round up to the nearest hundredth (b/c this is what money is rounded to and if I round down he/she would make less than her goal. This means i must round up.))
5) s>=999.34 (simple rounding; once again I rounded up b/c rounding down would slightly bring the total earnings to less than the goal)
<u>Therefore, the salesperson would need his/her sales to be $999.34 in order for his/her total earnings for the week to be at least $600.10</u> (greater than or equal to $600.10)
<u>Hope this helped!</u>
