If 20% of the people in a small town are voters, and there are 2,360 voters, what is the population of the town?

Hi.

20% is 1/5 of the population. To find out 100% of the population, we can multiply by 5.

2,360 • 5 = 11,800

The population of the town is 11,800.

Cheers~

If you make a proportion then cross multiply its easier to understand
2360/.2=X/1
2360(1)=.2x
x=11800

Answer:

A. StartFraction (x + 5) (x + 2) Over x cubed minus 9 x EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(2x + 5) / (x² - 3x) - (3x + 5) / (x³ - 9x) - (x + 1) / x² - 9

Factor the denominators

(2x + 5) / x(x - 3) - (3x + 5) / x(x - 3)(x + 3) - (x + 1) / (x - 3)(x + 3)

Lowest common multiple of the 3 fractions is x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= (2x+5)(x+3) - (3x + 5) - (x + 1)x / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= (2x²+6x+5x+15) - (3x + 5) - (x² + x) / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= 2x² + 11x + 15 - 3x - 5 - x² - x / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= x² + 7x + 10 / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

Solve the numerator.

Solve the quadratic expression by finding two numbers whose product is 10 and sum is 7

The numbers are 5 and 2

= x² + 5x + 2x + 10 / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= x(x + 5) + 2(x + 5) / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= (x + 5)(x + 2) / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

A. StartFraction (x + 5) (x + 2) Over x cubed minus 9 x EndFraction

Recall,

x(x - 3)(x + 3) is a factor of x³ - 8x

A. StartFraction (x + 5) (x + 2) Over x cubed minus 9 x EndFraction

(x + 5)(x + 2) / x³ - 9x

B. StartFraction (x + 5) (x + 4) Over x cubed minus 9 x EndFraction

(x + 5)(x + 4) / x³ - 9x

C. StartFraction negative 2 x + 11 Over x cubed minus 12 x minus 9 EndFraction

2x + 11 / x³ - 12x - 9

D. StartFraction 3 (x + 2) Over x squared minus 3 x EndFraction

3(x + 2) / x² - 3x

<span>The integer -1 has an absolute value of 1, which is greater than itself. Since all negative integers are by definition integers, their respective absolute values will be greater than themselves.</span>

Which statement is true about the discontinuities of the function f(x)?

Tema [17]

Answer:

There are asymptotes at x = three-halves and x = negative one-third.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x + 1)/ (6x^2 - 7x - 3)

= (x + 1)( / (6x^2 + 2x - 9x - 3)

= (x + 1) / (2x(3x + 1) - 3(3x + 1))

= (x + 1) / (2x - 3)(3x + 1)

Now x = 3/2 and x = -1/3 both make te denominator zero so these are both asymptotes.

Draw this function. It's descending (m negative). All values on the left of the lines satisfy this inequality
