Answer:

17.25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain type of conifer hedging increases in height by 17% each year for the first 20 years.When i bought some of this hedging, it was all about 50cm tall. How long will it take to grow 3m tall?

Step 1

We make sure all parameters have the same units, hence:

We convert 3m to cm

1 m = 100cm

3m = x

Cross Multiply

x = 3 × 100cm

x = 300cm

Step 2

To solve this question, we use the formula for Exponential growth =

y = a (1 + r) ^t

Where:

y = Size after time t = 3m = 300cm

a = Initial size of the tree = 20 cm

r = Growth rate = 17%

t = Time in years = ??

300 = 20 (1 + 0.17)^t

300 = 20(1.17) ^t

Divide both sides by 20

300/20 = 20(1.17) ^t/20

15 = 1.17^t

Take the Natural logarithm of both sides

In 15 = 1n 1.17^t

In 15 = t 1n 1.17

t = In 15/In 1.17

t = 17.248315544 years

Approximately = 17.25 years

Answer:

1. About 9 left. 2. £21 left

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you do 65 ÷ 3 = 21.7 if rounding to the tenths, 21.67 if to the hundredths, and so on. Then you do 21.67 - 12 = 9.67. But since it is cards, I would say about 9 left.

First you add the £20 to the £70 to get £90. then you multiply 7×3 to get £21 spent on books. After that, multiply 12×4 to get £48 spent on games. then do 48 + 21 = 69. 90-69= 21.

Here is the equation....

(70+20)-[(7×3)+(12×4)] = £21

UNO [17]
The integers are x - 1, x and x + 1

x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 186
3x = 186
x = 186/3 = 62

Therefore, the numbers are 61, 62 and 63

Answer:

p=-54

Step-by-step explanation:

- \frac{p}{6}  = 9 \\  \frac{ - p}{6}  = 9 \\ \frac{ - p}{6}  \times 6 = 9 \times 6 \\  - p = 54 \\ p =  - 54

What is 2m + 3m² - 4m ? Please show you work. :-)
Alchen [17]
Combine like terms
2m and -4m are like terms while 3m^2 isnt. So, leave 3m^2 as it is and combine the other set. 2m-4m = (-2m). Therefore, your answer should be 3m^2 - 2m
