If the area decreases by 8.5%, that leaves 100-8.5, or 91.5% of the forest remaining. So, at the end of 15 years, you have:
(.915)^15=.2638, or 26.38% of the forest left.
.2638 x 4200=1108 km² of the forest remains

Prove that if r is any rational number, then 3r2 − 2r + 4 is rational. The following properties may be used in your proof. Prope
ziro4ka [17]

Given:

Expression is

3r^2-2r+4

To prove:

If r is any rational number, then 3r^2-2r+4 is rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

Property 1: Every integer is a rational number. It is Theorem 4.3.1.

Property 2: The sum of any two rational numbers is rational. It is Theorem 4.3.2.

Property 3: The product of any two rational numbers is rational. It is Exercise 15 in Section 4.3.  

Let r be any rational number.

We have,

3r^2-2r+4

It can be written as

3(r\times r)-2r+4

Now,

3, -2 and 4 are rational numbers by property 1.

r^2=r\times r is rational by Property 3.

3r^2\text{ and }-2r are rational by Property 3.

3r^2+(-2r)+4 is rational by property 2.

So, 3r^2-2r+4 is rational.

Hence proved.

A Copy of machine produces 80 copies in 5 minutes. How many copies would be produced in 40 minutes?
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The answer would be 640. To find the number of how many copies are produced in 1 minute you have to write 80 divided by 5 which equals 16. Now you multiply 16 and the 40 minutes which gives you 640 copies.

Marshall left home biking at a constant rate of 20 mph. One hour later, it looked like it may rain, so his friend, brett, set ou
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find how far ahead Marshall was.  Since he had been biking at 20 mph for one hour, he had gone 20 miles.

Next, we need to find how long it will take Brett to catch up to Marshall.  In order to do this, we need to find how much faster Brett is going than Marshall.  We do this by subtracting Marshall's speed from Brett's speed.

60 - 20 = 40.  So, Brett is catching up to Marshall at 40 mph.  Now, we figure out how long it will take for someone going 40 miles per hour to go 20 miles.  We find this by dividing 40 miles per hour by 20.  This is equal to 1/2 hour.  So, it will take Brett 0.5 hours to catch up to Marshall.  This is the same as A, so A is the correct answer.

We can check our answer by seeing how far Marshall and Brett will have gone.  Marshall will have been biking for 1.5 hours, so we multiply 20 * 1.5 = 30.  Marshall went 30 miles.

Brett drove for .5 hours at 60 mph, so he went 30 miles.  Since Brett and Marshall went the same distance, our answer is correct.
