Divide both sides by -3, and replace 
with 
. Then
Factorize the quadratic in to get
which in turn means
But 
for all real 
, so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with
If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:
Tell me if the answer is true or wrong
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually, this wording means the decrease is proportional to the current price, characteristic of an exponential function.
__
The decay factor is 1-(decay rate), so is 1-0.15 = 0.85. After 3 years, the value has been multiplied by this factor 3 times:
$50×0.85³ ≈ $30.71 . . . . cost in 3 years
_____
<em>Comment on percent per year</em>
Less often, the indicated decrease is intended to be <em>that percentage of the original price</em>. The result is that the price decreases by a constant amount each year, a linear decrease. This condition most often arises in conjunction with figuring depreciation in value for tax or accounting purposes.
The upshot is that you always need to be careful to understand what the base of a percentage is intended to be.
Answer:
per teacher = 20 students
per tutor = 12 students
72 students = 18 tutors
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 60 by 3 to get 20
Divide 48 by 4 to get 12
Divide 72 by 4 to get 18
