Riting Functions for Real-World Problems A farmer estimates that he has 9,000 bees producing honey on his farm. The farmer becomes concerned when he
realizes the population of bees seems to be decreasing steadily at a rate of 5% per year. If the number of bees in the
population after x years is represented by f(x), which statements about the situation are true? Check all that apply
The function f(x) = 9,000(1.05) represents the situation,
The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95) represents the situation,
After 2 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 8,120 bees remaining
After 4 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 1,800 bees remaining.
The domain values, in the context of the situation, are limited to whole numbers.
The range values, in the context of the situation, are limited to whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

30% of $420 is 0.30($420) = $126 and $420 + $126 = $546.

or, 130% of $420 is 1.3($420) = $546.

notice that this is not the $600 original list price with which we started.

why doesn't this work?

the method does not work because 30% of $420 is not the same amount as the 30% of $600. it may seem obvious when stated this way, but it is a very common error made on problems of this type. we cannot just use the same percent and get back to the original amount because we are taking that percent of a different value.

to work problems of this type correctly, it is generally best to write an equation for the situation and then solve.

example: since (100% – 30%)(original price) = (sale price)

70% of the   (original price) is $420.

0.7x   = 420

x = 600

the original cost was $600.

we may also solve this problem using the two-step method. working the problem in two steps requires us to use more algebra skills. we have to know that x = 1x (identity property of multiplicationtext annotation indicator) and that 1x – 0.3x = 0.7x (subtracting like terms). then we solve the problem as follows:

(original price) – 30%(original price) = sale price

x – 0.3x = 420

0.7x = $420

equation image indicator

x = 600

the original cost was $600.  

note that with both of the above methods we do obtain the correct original amount.

example: after a 5% pay raise, hermione is earning $22,680 per year. what was she earning before the pay raise?

105% of (original salary) = current salary

1.05x = 22,680

equation image indicator

x = 21,600

hermione earned $21,600 per year before the pay raise.

this is an example so maybe you will get how to at least do it!

the answer will be the last one

v = 1/3 a^2h

step-by-step explanation:

if the height is 57.7cm and the height of the slant edge is 18.2cm, then the volume is 1/3 a^2h.

answer: 0,6

this would make it the y intercept.
