Answer:

(a) Growth

$(b)\ y = 146(1.24)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a= 146$ -- current

$r = 24\%$ --- rate

Solving (a): Growth or decay

The question says his followers increases each day by 24%.

Increment means growth.

<em />

<em>Hence, it is a growth problem</em>

Solving (b): Equation to represent the scenario.

Since the rate represents growth, the equation is:

$y = a(1 + r)^x$

Substitute: $a= 146$ and $r = 24\%$

$y = 146 * (1 + 24\%)^x$

$y = 146 * (1 + 0.24)^x$

$y = 146 * (1.24)^x$

$y = 146(1.24)^x$

Arnie decides to make 3 cups of dark orange paint and 3 cups of light orange paint.

dimulka [17.4K]

The question is an illustration of equivalent ratios.

3 cups of dark orange require 3 ounces of yellow paint
3 cups of light orange require 19.5 ounces of yellow paint

1 cup of dark orange requires

$Red = 7oz$

$Yellow =1oz$

To make 3 cups, we simply multiply by 3, because $3 \times 1 = 3$

So, we have:

$Red = 7oz \times 3 = 21oz$

$Yellow =1oz \times 3 = 3oz$

2 cups of light orange require

$Red =3oz$

$Yellow =13$

To make 3 cups, we simply multiply by 1.5, because $2 \times 1.5 = 3$

So, we have:

$Red = 3oz \times 1.5 = 4.5oz$

$Yellow = 13oz \times 1.5 = 19.5oz$

Hence:

3 cups of dark orange require 3 ounces of yellow paint
3 cups of light orange require 19.5 ounces of yellow paint

Rationalize the denominator of $\frac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}}$. The answer can be written as $\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$, where $A$, $B$, $C$

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

$A +B+C+D = 3$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\frac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}}$

To find:

$A+B+C+D = ?$ if given term is written as following:

$\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$

<u>Solution:</u>

We can see that the resulting expression does not contain anything under $\sqrt$ (square root) so we need to rationalize the denominator to remove the square root from denominator.

The rule to rationalize is:

Any term having square root term in the denominator, multiply and divide with the expression by changing the sign of square root term of the denominator.

Applying this rule to rationalize the given expression:

$\dfrac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}} \times \dfrac{2-\sqrt6}{2-\sqrt6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5 \times (2-\sqrt6)}{(2+\sqrt{6}) \times (2-\sqrt6)} \\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{2^2-(\sqrt6)^2}\ \ \ \ \ (\because \bold{(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2})\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{4-6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-5\sqrt6+10}{-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5\sqrt6-10}{2}$

Comparing the above expression with:

$\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$

A = 5, B = 6 (Not divisible by square of any prime)

C = -10

D = 2 (positive)

GCD of A, C and D is 1.

So, $A +B+C+D = 5+6-10+2 = \bold3$
