Answer:

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the company caught 1,360,630 fish in total over the 20 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a major fishing company does its fishing in a local lake, and the first year of the company's operations it managed to catch 115,000 fish but due to population decreases, the number of fish the company was able to catch decreased by 6% each year, to determine how many total fish did the company catch over the first 20 years, to the nearest whole number, the following calculation must be performed:  

Year 1: 115,000

Year 2: 115,000 x 0.94 = 108,100

Year 3: 108,100 x 0.94 = 101,614

Year 4: 101,614 x 0.94 = 95,517.16

Year 5: 95,517.16 x 0.94 = 89,786.13

Year 6: 89,786.13 x 0.94 = 84,398.96

Year 7: 84,398.96 x 0.94 = 79,335.02

Year 8: 79,335.02 x 0.94 = 74,574.92

Year 9: 74,574.92 x 0.94 = 70,100.42

Year 10: 70,100.42 x 0.94 = 65,894.40

Year 11: 65,894.40 x 0.94 = 61,940.73

Year 12: 61,940.73 x 0.94 = 58,824.29

Year 13: 58,824.29 x 0.94 = 54,730.83

Year 14: 54,730.83 x 0.94 = 51,446.98

Year 15: 51,446.98 x 0.94 = 48,360.16

Year 16: 48,360.16 x 0.94 = 45,458.55

Year 17: 45,458.55 x 0.94 = 42,731.03

Year 18: 42,731.03 x 0.94 = 40,167.17

Year 19: 40,167.17 x 0.94 = 37,757.14

Year 20: 37,757.14 x 0.94 = 35,491.71

TOTAL: 1,360,629.60

Thus, rounded to the nearest whole number, the company caught 1,360,630 fish in total over the 20 years.

What is 4 x what = 97
ikadub [295]

If you mean, what is 4x = 97......

4x = 97                   -Divide both sides by 4

4x / 4 = 97 / 4

x = 24.25

Let the number be n.

Then:

n^2 + (1/n)^2 = 82/9; find n.  Find the LCD; it is 9n^2.

Mult all 3 terms by 9n^2:
                                                                  82*9n^2
9n^4 + 9 = (82/9)(9n^2)  =>    9n^4 + 9 = ------------  
                                                                        9
Then 9n^4 - 82n^2 + 9 = 0

I used my graphing calculator to find that n = 3.  

Let's check:     is 3^2 + (1/3)^2 = 82/9?
                        Is   9   + 1/9 = 82/9?
                        Is  81 + 1 = 82?   YES.  So, n=3 is a solution.

Write the linear equation that gives the rule for this table.
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

f(x) = -7x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

m is slope

b is y-intercept

--------------------------

y decreases by 7 for each increase of 1 in x

slope = -7

to find "b" plug in one of the points and m = -7

using point (3, -20)

y = mx + b

-20 = -7(3) + b

-20 = -21 + b

b = 1

The equation is

f(x) = -7x + 1
