Answer:
p = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 9, 21 and 60 is: 3
Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9
Factors of 21: 1, 3, 7
Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
The common factors between the three numbers are 1 and 3, but since 3 is the highest number, it is considered the GCF.
The population starts at 2000, so a=2000.
We also know that the population in 3 hours is 1000, so we can setup the equation:
2000 b^3 = 1000
This gets us:
b^3 = 1/2
And taking the cube root of both sides gives us:
b ≈ 0.7937005259841
Rounding that to 4 places, we have:
f(t) = 2000 (0.7937)^t
No, she is incorrect (in my opinion) i think the answer is :
1/2 m - 4 = 5
4+5 = 9 so
half of 18= 9
so the answer is 18?
