Check the picture below. You can pretty much just count the units off the grid.
What you wanna do here is use a calculator, as "e" in mathematics refers to the "e" on a calculator. The tricky part about this question is that the answer for the equation is the given percentage, NOT the value for "x". From there, plug in the multiple choice answers for "x" and see which one works!
In this case, A is the correct answer. B is absurdly large, so I omitted it immediately in the attached picture.
First day = 10 +8
=18
second day = 8+8
=16
3rd=16
4th= 16
5th=16
6th=16
16+16+16+16+16+18
=80+18
=98
Answer:
Choice b.
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The highest power of the variable
in this polynomial is
. In other words, this polynomial is quadratic.
It is thus possible to apply the quadratic formula to find the "roots" of this polynomial. (A root of a polynomial is a value of the variable that would set the polynomial to
.)
After finding these roots, it would be possible to factorize this polynomial using the Factor Theorem.
Apply the quadratic formula to find the two roots that would set this quadratic polynomial to
. The discriminant of this polynomial is
.
.
Similarly:
.
By the Factor Theorem, if
is a root of a polynomial, then
would be a factor of that polynomial. Note the minus sign between
and
.
- The root
corresponds to the factor
, which simplifies to
. - The root
corresponds to the factor
, which simplifies to
.
Verify that
indeed expands to the original polynomial:
.
Answer:
Subtract 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation, y has to be isolated (only y will be on one side of the equation)
To do this, we have to get rid of the 8.5, so it has to be subtracted from both sides.
So, the correct answer is subtract 8.5
