Answer:

$x=9$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(x-5)=8$ | Given

$(2x-10)=8$ | Distribute the 2 inside the parentheses

$2x=8+10$ | Add 10 to both sides

$2x=18$ | Add. Optional; not included in your question.

$x=9$ | Divide by 2 on both sides.

Choose the arithmetic series that is associated with this summation.

Verizon [17]

Plug n = 1 into the expression 20-9n and we get
20-9n = 20-9*1 = 20-9 = 11

So 11 is the first term of the series that we add up. Therefore the answer must be choice C, which has 11 listed as the first term added

The number of compact discs N purchased each year, in millions, can be

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

126.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

N(t) = 384(1.13)^t

2,000,000,000 = 384(1.13)^t

(1.13)^t = 2,000,000,000/384

log [(1.13)^t) = log (2,000,000,000/384)

t × log 1.13 = log (2,000,000,000/384)

t = [log (2,000,000,000/384)]/(log 1.13)

t = 126.5

A population of size 3,624 grows at a rate of 3% per year, compounded continuously. How big will the population be in 2 years?

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The continuous compound formula is

$y=Pe^{rt$ where P is the principle or starting value, r is the growth rate in decimal form, and t is the time in years. For us:

$y=3624e^{(.03)(2)}\\y=3624e^{.06}\\y=3624(1.061836547)\\y=3848.09$

which would probably round to just 3848 people.
