Answer:

c=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem says that 8 less than 4 times c is less than twenty, so we can first show 8 less than 20.

4c -( I did this because it said 4 times the number c)

Then, we show 8 less than that.

4c-8

It says it is twenty, and that means it equals twenty.

4c-8=20

Now we solve!

4c-8=20

+8 +8

*we add 8 to both sides*

4c=28

*we divide both sides by 4 since we want to isolate c*

c=28/4

c=7

I hope this helped!

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

because 8 less than 4

= 4 - 8

= -4

and if -4 x c = 20 then...

c= 20÷ - 4

= -5

so c= -5

Suppose that an insect population’s density, in thousands per acre, during year n, can be modeled by the recursive formula: a1 =

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

A) The population density decreases each year.

B) The population density increases each year.

C) The population density remains constant.

D) The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

we have

$a_n=2.9(a_n_-_1)-0.2(a_n_-_1)^2$

$a_1=8$

Find the value of $a_2$

For n=2

$a_2=2.9(a_1)-0.2(a_1)^2$

$a_2=2.9(8)-0.2(8)^2=10.4$

Find the value of $a_3$

For n=3

$a_3=2.9(a_2)-0.2(a_2)^2$

$a_3=2.9(10.4)-0.2(10.4)^2=8.528$

For n=4

$a_4=2.9(a_3)-0.2(a_3)^2$

$a_4=2.9(8.528)-0.2(8.528)^2=10.1858$

For n=5

$a_5=2.9(a_4)-0.2(a_4)^2$

$a_5=2.9(10.1858)-0.2(10.1858)^2=8.7887$

therefore

The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 505 what is the third number in the sequence

saw5 [17]

5 consecutive integers : x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3, x + 4

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 505
5x + 10 = 505
5x = 505 - 10
5x = 495
x = 495/5
x = 99

x + 1 = 99 + 1 = 100
x + 2 = 99 + 2 = 101 <=== 3rd number is 101
x + 3 = 99 + 3 = 102
x + 4 = 99 + 4 = 103
