Answer:
(a) Growth
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-- current
--- 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:
Substitute: and
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the ages of a Mother and her son is 78 , three years ago the mother is five times as old as the son, what is their present ages?
To solve this , let the age of the mother be x and the age of the son be y , from the first statement :
x + y = 78
Three years ago , the mother will be x- 3 and the son will be y - 3 , from the second statement:
x - 3 = 5 ( y-3)
x- 3 = 5y - 15
x - 5y = -12
The resulting equations are
x + y = 78
x - 5y = -12
This is called a simultaneous linear equation , that means it is a linear equation.
The side of a square is xcm , if the difference between the area and the perimeter is 12 , find the legth of its side.
Interpretation:
The formula for the area of a square is and the perimeter is 4l , from the question , we have
- 4x = 12
This is not a linear equation , it is simply a quadratic equation , so the situation is non linear
