Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of medals won by the Russians.

The way to do this is to add the ratios together

1 + 8 + 5 = 14

(5/14) x = 25

Multiply by 14

5*x = 25 * 14

5x = 350

divide by 5

8/14 = x / 70

14x = 8 * 70

14x = 560

x = 560 / 14

x = 40

The USA won 40 medals.

1/14 = x / 70

14x = 70

x = 5

Canada Won 5 medals.

exercise alone. Two methods of collecting data have been proposed. Method I: Recruit volunteers who are willing to participate.

aniked [119]

Answer:

I) If method I is used, population of generalization will include all those people who may have varying exercising habits or routines. They may or may not have a regular excersing habit. In his case sample is taken from a more diverse population

II) Population of generalization will include people who will have similar excersing routines and habits if method II is used since sample is choosen from a specific population

Step-by-step explanation:

past excercising habits may affect the change in intensity to a targeted excersise in different manner. So in method I a greater diversity is included and result of excersing with or without a trainer will account for greater number of variables than method II.

Walter invests $100,000 in an account that compounds interest continuously and earns 12%. How long will it take for his money to

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

$300000= 100000 e^{0.12 t}$

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

$3 = e^{0.12 t}$

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

$ln(3) = 0.12 t$

And then the value of t would be:

$t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.12}= 9.16 years$

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case since we know that the interest is compounded continuously, then we can use the following formula:

$A =P e^{rt}$

Where A is the future value, P the present value , r the rate of interest in fraction and t the number of years.

For this case we know that P = 100000 and r =0.12 we want to triplicate this amount and that means $A= 300000$ and we want to find the value for t.

$300000= 100000 e^{0.12 t}$

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

$3 = e^{0.12 t}$

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

$ln(3) = 0.12 t$

And then the value of t would be:

$t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.12}= 9.16 years$

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.

Item 6 for what value of a is 8x−8+3ax=5ax−2a an identity?

Readme [11.4K]

Let's rewrite the expression as

$8x+3ax-5ax = 8-2a \iff 8x - 2ax = 8-2a \iff 2x(4-a) = 2(4-a)$

So, if $a \neq 4$ , you may divide both sides by $4-a$ , the equation becomes $2x=2$ , and the only solution is $x=1$ , which means that this is not an identity (an indentity is tautologically true, no matter the value of x).

If instead $a = 4$ , you are multiplying both sides by zero, so the equation becomes

$2x \cdot 0 = 2 \cdot 0 \iff 0=0$

So, it doesn't matter which value for x you choose, because you will always end up with $0=0$ , which is obviously always true.
