Use distributie property which is
a(b+c)=ab+ac
therefor
6x(x-4)=6x^2-24x
distribute the negative 1 infroont of the (9x-1)
-1(9x-1)=-9x+1
now we have
6x^2-24x-16x^2-9x+1
gropu like terms
6x^2-16x^2-24x-9x+1
add like terms
-10x^2-33x+1 is simplest form
Answer:
4 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 5/6 b = 3 1/4 = 13/4
To add 5/6 + 13/4, we have to make the denominators the same:
20/24 + 78/24 = 98/24
To make it back to a mixed fraction:
4 2/24
4 1/12
Not sure question is complete, assumptions however
Answer and explanation:
Given the above, the function of the population of the ants can be modelled thus:
P(x)= 1600x
Where x is the number of weeks and assuming exponential growth 1600 is constant for each week
Assuming average number of ants in week 1,2,3 and 4 are given by 1545,1520,1620 and 1630 respectively, then we would round these numbers to the nearest tenth to get 1500, 1500, 1600 and 1600 respectively. In this case the function above wouldn't apply, as growth values vary for each week and would have to be added without using the function.
On one hand, the function above could be used as an estimate given that 1600 is the average growth of the ants per week hence a reasonable estimate of total ants in x weeks can be made using the function.
