Given:
15% of its height each day
27 inches on day 10.

How tall was it yesterday?

27 represents 115% of the height yesterday. So we divided 27 by 115% to get yesterdays height.

27 ÷ 115% = 23.48 inches.

The plant was 23.48 inches tall yesterday.

To check:
23.48 x 15% = 3.52 inches
23.48 + 3.52 = 27 inches

What is the product of 2x - 5 and 3x2 + 5x - 7? Write your answer in standard form.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

(2x - 5 ) (3x^2 + 5x - 7) = 6x^3 - 5x^2 - 39x - 35

The product of 2x – 5 and 3x2 + 5x - 7equal to the product of 5x - 2 and 3x2 + 5x - 7 are not equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Product means multiplication

Product of 2x - 5 and 3x^2 + 5x - 7

(2x - 5 ) (3x^2 + 5x - 7)

= 6x^3 + 10x^2 - 14x - 15x^2 - 25x - 35

Collect like terms

= 6x^3 + 10x^2 - 15x^2 - 14x - 25x - 35

= 6x^3 - 5x^2 - 39x - 35

Product of 5x - 2 and 3x^2 + 5x - 7

(5x - 2) (3x^2 + 5x - 7)

= 15x^3 + 25x^2 - 35x - 6x^2 - 10x + 14

Collect like terms

= 15x^3 + 25x^2 - 6x^2 - 35x - 10x + 14

= 15x^3 + 19x^2 - 45x + 14

The product of 2x – 5 and 3x^2 + 5x - 7equal to the product of 5x - 2 and 3x^2 + 5x - 7 are not equal.

They both consist of different variables in their multiplier

Ginny is studying a population of frogs. She determines that the population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year. Whe
Rama09 [41]

You can see how this works by thinking through what's going on.

 

In the first year the population declines by 3%.  So the population at the end of the first year is the starting population (1200) minus the decline: 1200 minus 3% of 1200.  3% of 1200 is the same as .03 * 1200.  So the population at the end of the first year is 1200 - .03 * 1200.  That can be written as 1200 * (1 - .03), or 1200 * 0.97

 

What about the second year?  The population starts at 1200 * 0.97.  It declines by 3% again.  But 3% of what???  The decline is based on the population at the beginning of the year, NOT based no the original population.  So the decline in the second year is 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97).  And just as in the first year, the population at the end of the second year is the population at the beginning of the second year minus the decline in the second year.  So that's 1200 * 0.97 - 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97), which is equal to 1200 * 0.97 (1 - 0.03) = 1200 * 0.97 * 0.97 = 1200 * 0.972.

 

So there's a pattern.  If you worked out the third year, you'd see that the population ends up as 1200 * 0.973, and it would keep going like that.

 

So the population after x years is 1200 * 0.97x

Find the Prime Factorization of -165
Ghella [55]

Answer:

(-1)(11)(3)(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

First off:  -165 separates into the factors (-1) and (165).  Next, we divide 165 by 15, obtaining 15(11).

So far, we have (-1)(11)(15).

15 is still factorable.  We get:

(-1)(11)(3)(5), which is the desired prime factorization of -165.
