Answer:

1244/999

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have 1.245245245245.... which we call x.

If we times this by 1000 (because 3 digits repeat) we get

1000x = 1245.245245245....

Subtract x from both sides:

999x = 1245.245245245... - 1.245245... = 1244

This means that x = 1244/999

This fraction cannot be simplified so this is the answer.

If you want to include the 1 in the repeating (1.2451245...) do the same but the sequence is 4 digits so times by 10000 instead.

Answer: c) 300 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of copies that you must sell to break even.

You decide to market your own custom computer software. You must invest 3,255 for computer hardware,and spend 2.90 to buy and package each disk. This means that the total cost of producing each software would be

3255 + 2.9x

If each program sells for $13.75, it means that the total revenue from selling each software would be

13.75x

In order to break even, total cost would be equal to total revenue. Therefore,

3255 + 2.9x = 13.75x

13.75x - 2.9x = 3255

10.85x = 3255

x = 3255/10.85

x = 300 copies

Find the general solution of the differential equation. (use c for the constant of integration.) dr dt = 8et 1 − e2t

natulia [17]

Try this solution:
if given dr/dt=8e^t -e^(2t), then
$\frac{dr}{dt}=8e^t-e^{2t}; \ \int\ {dr} \, =\int\ (8e^t-e^{2t})dt; \ r=8e^t- \frac{1}{2}e^{2t}+C.$
