Answer:
1.03
Step-by-step explanation:
Per capita just means per unit of population, or per person. This question is asking how many cell phones there were in the United States per person in 2014. We can use simple division to determine that the answer is 327.6/317.9 or about 1.03 when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Always proceed by first extracting all common factors to all terms:
Notice that the factors: 5, x, and y are present in all terms, so we can extract them from the trinomial:
Now, the trinomial left (-x+2-3y) cannot be factored out, so then factoring is complete.
3/(x + 4) = (x + 2)/5
Multiply both sides by 5 :
5 × 3/(x + 4) = 5 × (x + 2)/5
15/(x + 4) = x + 2
Multiply both sides by x + 4 :
(x + 4) × 15/(x + 4) = (x + 4) × (x + 2)
Provided that x + 4 ≠ 0, we can cancel the factors of x + 4 on the left side:
15 = (x + 4) (x + 2)
Expand the product on the right side:
15 = x² + 6x + 8
Move everything to one side:
0 = x² + 6x - 7
We can factorize easily in this case
0 = (x + 7) (x - 1)
Then
x + 7 = 0 or x - 1 = 0
⇒ x = -7 or x = 1
1st let's calculate r the common ratio:
r = (-20)/4 = (100/-20) = -5
Value of nth term = a₁.rⁿ⁻¹, where a₁= 1st term and n, the rank
Value of nth term = 4r⁽⁷⁻¹⁾ = 4.(-5)⁶
Value of nth term = 62,500
