Answer:

$4.46

Step-by-step explanation:

11.50+x=16.80-16.80×(5/100)

or, x=15.96-11.50=$4.46

Hope, this helps you.

Answer:

4.46  

Step-by-step explanation:

(11.5 + x) + 5% = 16.8

11.5 + x = 16.8 - 5%

x = (16.8 - 5% ) - 11.5

x = 15.96 - 11.5

x = 4.46

A lake is stocked with 1,500 young trout. If the number of the original trout alive after x years is given by the function P(x)=
musickatia [10]

The function P(x)=1500e^{-0.4x} gives the number of the original trout alive after x years. When the number of the original trout alive is 300, then

300=1500e^{-0.4x}

Solve this equation:

e^{-0.4x}=\dfrac{300}{1500},\\ \\e^{-0.4x}=\dfrac{1}{5},\\ \\-0.4x=\ln \dfrac{1}{5},\\ \\x=\dfrac{\ln \dfrac{1}{5}}{-0.4}\approx 4.024.

Answer: after 4.024 year (or 5 year if round to the whole number of years)

How can you use number patterns to find the least common factor
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is: 360.

Explanation:

First we can express 120 as follows:

2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 120

You can get the above multiples as follows:

120/2 = 60

60/2 =30

30/2 = 15

15/3 = 5 (Since 15 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)

5/5 = 1

Take all the terms in the denominator for 120, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 --- (1)

Second we can express 360 as follows:

360/2 = 180

180/2 = 90

90/2 =45

45/3 = 15 (Since 45 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)

15/3 = 5

5/5 = 1

Take all the terms in the denominator for 360, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 --- (2)

Now in (1) and (2) consider the common terms once and multiple that with the remaining:

2*2*2*3*5 = Common between the two

3 = Remaining

Hence (2*2*2*3*5) * (3) = 360 = LCM (answer)
