Answer:
There is no value
Step-by-step explanation:
x is not in the equation given, meaning that there would be no "Value of x"
Answer:
720 possible orders
Step-by-step explanation:
To order 6 people in a line, let's imagine them as 6 possible spaces:
( )( )( )( )( )( )
Going from left to right, let's start with space 1.
There are 6 possibilities for space 1 as any of the 6 people could occupy that space in the line.
(6)( )( )( )( )( )
Next, since one person will have already occupied space 1, there are only 5 people left who can occupy space 2, so there are 5 possibilities for space 2:
(6)(5)( )( )( )( )
Continuing in this fashion, there are now only 4 people left so 4 possibilities for space 3 and etc.
(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)
This means we have 6,5,4,3,2 and 1 possibilities for each space respectively.
Multiply them together and we have:
6x5x4x3x2x1 = 720 possible orders.
Hope this helped!
P represents the population in millions.
An exponential function with a positive exponent means function increases with time t.
An exponential function with a negative exponent means function decreases with time t.
So we're looking for a function with a NEGATIVE exponent.
Also, since question says population will remain CONSTANT at the minimum of 2 (millions) insects, so it should not be a function of time t.
Therefore this condition should be written as P>=2 (millions) [and not 2t].
Given the above information, it will be up to you to choose the correct answer choice.
Y = 3x^2 - 3x - 6 {the x^2 (x squared) makes it a quadratic formula, and I'm assuming this is what you meant...}
This is derived from:
y = ax^2 + bx + c
So, by using the 'sum and product' rule:
a × c = 3 × (-6) = -18
b = -3
Now, we find the 'sum' and the 'product' of these two numbers, where b is the 'sum' and a × c is the 'product':
The two numbers are: -6 and 3
Proof:
-6 × 3 = -18 {product}
-6 + 3 = -3 {sum}
Now, since a > 1, we divide a from the results
-6/a = -6/3 = -2
3/a = 3/3 = 1
We then implement these numbers into our equation:
(x - 2) × (x + 1) = 0 {derived from 3x^2 - 3x - 6 = 0}
To find x, we make x the subject of 0:
x - 2 = 0
OR
x + 1 = 0
Therefore:
x = 2
OR
x = -1
So the x-intercepts of the quadratic formula (or solutions to equation 3x^2 - 3x -6 = 0, to put it into your words) are 2 and -1.
We can check this by substituting the values for x:
Let's start with x = 2:
y = 3(2)^2 - 3(2) - 6
= 3(4) - 6 - 6
= 12 - 6 - 6
= 0 {so when x = 2, y = 0, which is correct}
For when x = -1:
y = 3(-1)^2 - 3(-1) - 6
= 3(1) + 3 - 6
= 3 + 3 - 6
= 0 {so when x = -1, y = 0, which is correct}
NO IT IS NOT BECAUSE 1.3 IS 1.30, WHICH IS NOT GREATER THAN 1.52.
