Answer: $\frac{12}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

-If we were to simplify $\frac{6}{30}$ we would be able to simplify it to $\frac{1}{5}$ .

-Multiply $\frac{6}{30}$ by 100 and you get 20 .

-Now compare that with $\frac{3}{10}$ which is $\frac{12}{40}$ simplified.

-Multiply $\frac{12}{40}$ by 100 and you get 30.

-We can now tell that $\frac{12}{40}$ is greater than $\frac{6}{30}$ .

Answer:

12/40

Step-by-step explanation:

match the denominators so have 6/30 be multiplies with 40/40 and 12/40 multiplied with 30/30

6/30(40/40) = 240/1200

12/40(30/30) = 360/1200

As we can see, 360/1200 is bigger than 240/1200, therefore 12/40 is bigger

What constant term is necessary to complete the perfect square trinomial pictured in the algebra tiles?

gayaneshka [121]

The algebra tiles show two equal factors. They are (x + 4).

Then, the perfect square is the product of the two equal factors, (x + 4) * (x +4).

That is (x + 4)^2.

Then develop that perfect square to find the constant term.

(x + 4)^2 = x^2 + 8x + 16.

That means that the constant term needed to complete the trinomial is 16.

Answer: 16

Nick bought a new car.

Using an exponential function, it is found that it takes 5.42 years for the car to halve in value.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

$A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t$

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.

r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, the car depreciates 12% a year in value, hence r = 0.12 and the equation is given by:

$A(t) = A(0)(0.88)^t$ .

It halves in value at t years, for which A(t) = 0.5A(0), hence:

$A(t) = A(0)(0.88)^t$

$0.5A(0) = A(0)(0.88)^t$

$(0.88)^t = 0.5$

$\log{(0.88)^t} = \log{0.5}$

$t\log{0.88} = \log{0.5}$

$t = \frac{\log{0.5}}{\log{0.88}}$

t = 5.42.

It takes 5.42 years for the car to halve in value.

Mia opens a coffee shop in the first week of January. The function W(x) = 0.002x3 - 0.01x2 models the total number of customers

Mashcka [7]

Writing the two equations in full and subtracting R(x) from W(x) to arrive at D (x) gives the answer. This is shown below;

W(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 + 0x + 0
R (x) = 0x^3 + x^2 - 4x +13 -
-----------------------------------------------
D(x) = 0.002x^3 -1.01x^2 + 4x - 13
