Answer: B. 1975
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The model of population of a certain city between the years 1965 and 1995 by the radical function
![P(x)=75000\sqrt[3]{x-1940}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28x%29%3D75000%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx-1940%7D)
To find the x year at which population is 245,000, put this in equation we get
![245000=75000\sqrt[3]{x-1940}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{245000}{17000}=\sqrt[3]{x-1940}\\\\\Rightarrow3.266=\sqrt[3]{x-1940}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x-1940=(3.266)^3..........\text{[by taking cube on both sides]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x-1940=34.8587\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=1940+34.8587\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=1974.8587\approx1975](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=245000%3D75000%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx-1940%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5Cfrac%7B245000%7D%7B17000%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx-1940%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow3.266%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx-1940%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20x-1940%3D%283.266%29%5E3..........%5Ctext%7B%5Bby%20taking%20cube%20on%20both%20sides%5D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20x-1940%3D34.8587%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20x%3D1940%2B34.8587%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20x%3D1974.8587%5Capprox1975)
Hence, at year 1975 the population of the city is 245,000.
6/20 could be another fraction
Answer:
You have 5 27/28
Step-by-step explanation:
- 6 20/28 - 21/28= 5 27/28
- 5 27/28
If we represent Tobin's speed as x, we can write her opponent's speed as
x-2 (since Tobin is 2 more than them). In addition, since it's in miles per hour, and 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, we can say that 3/4ths of her speed in miles per hour is how long the race is, so (3/4)(x-2)=distance of race. In addition, since it only took Tobin 30 minutes, and 30 minutes is half an hour, x/2 (half of her miles per hour) is the length of the race, so (3/4)(x-2)=(1/2)x. Expanding it, we get 3x/4-6/4=x/2. Subtracting x/2 (or 2x/4) from both sides, we get x/4-6/4=0 and by adding 6/4 to both sides we get x/4=6/4. Multiplying 4 to both sides, we get that x=6=Tobin's speed in miles per hour
We can use the is/of=p/100 method for this problem. Since it's 15% off, this would mean that the bill is 85% of what it was initially. Plug the values into the is/of=p/100 formula.
36.72/x = 85/100
Solve for x.
x=36.72/0.85
x=43.2
So, the bill was $43.20 before applying the voucher discount of 15% off.
