Answer:

a) c = (5/100)*d

b) c = 0.05*d

c) The ratio between what Lee recieves and what he sold.

d) d = 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lee earns 5% in commission for each sale then:

a) c = (5/100)*d

b) c = 0.05*d

c) In this context the constant of proportionality means the ratio of the value Lee sold that he'll earn as a comission.

d) Since he wants to earn $100, then c = 100 and we solve for d

c = 0.05*d

100 = 0.05*d

0.05*d = 100

d = 100/0.05 = $2000

He needs to sell $2000.

Each year for 4 years, a farmer increased the number of trees in a certain orchard by of the number of trees in the orchard the

Neko [114]

Answer:

The number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that x is number of trees at the begging of the first year, we know that for four years the number of trees were incised by 1/4 of the number of trees of the preceding year, so at the end of the first year the number of trees was $x+\frac{1}{4} x=\frac{5}{4} x$ , and for the next three years we have that

Start End

Second year $\frac{5}{4}x$ -------------- $\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}(\frac{5}{4}x) =\frac{5}{4}x+ \frac{5}{16}x=\frac{25}{16}x=(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$

Third year $(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$ ------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{2}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{5^{2} }{4^{3} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$

Fourth year $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$ -------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{3}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{5^{3} }{4^{4} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{4}x.$

So the formula to calculate the number of trees in the fourth year is

$(\frac{5}{4} )^{4} x,$ we know that all of the trees thrived and there were 6250 at the end of 4 year period, then

$6250=(\frac{5}{4} )^{4}x$ ⇒ $x=\frac{6250*4^{4} }{5^{4} }= \frac{10*5^{4}*4^{4} }{5^{4} }=2560.$

Therefore the number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

(3x+2)∧2=9 how do i solve this in the square root property

Irina18 [472]

$(3x+2)^2=9 \\\\9x^2+12x+4-9=0\\\\9x^2+12x-5=0\\\\a=9,\ \ b=12, \ \ c=-5$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12-\sqrt{12^2-4 \cdot9 \cdot (-5)}}{2 \cdot 9}=\frac{-12-\sqrt{144+180}}{18}=\\\\=\frac{-12-\sqrt{324}}{18}=\frac{-12-18}{18}=\frac{-30}{18}=-\frac{5}{3}\\\\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12+\sqrt{12^2-4 \cdot9 \cdot (-5)}}{2 \cdot 9}=\frac{-12+18}{18}=\frac{6}{18}=\frac{1}{3} \\\\Answer: \ x=-\frac{5}{3}\ \ and \ \ x=\frac{1}{3}$
