8a^7 81r^7 ------ * ------ multiply and simplify 9r^4 64a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

658a^7r^7 / 576ar^4 658a^6r^3 / 576. Simplifying, we have: 9a^6r^3 / 8 :]]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(9a^6r^3)/8\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops. There's something wrong with my answer. It should be \[329a ^{6}r ^{3} / 288\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bes]cause when I checked, i accidentally used 648 instead of 658. So, there you go.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you any good at word problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe. Why? LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have a multipart one towards the bottom of the list thats been driving me nuts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you post the problem again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. The cost, in millions of dollars, to remove x % of pollution in a lake modeled by a. What is the cost to remove 75% of the pollutant? b. What is the cost to remove 90% of the pollutant? c. What is the cost to remove 99% of the pollutant? d. For what value is this equation undefined?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

formula is c= 6000 ----- 200-2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6000 ----- 200-2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you make your problem clear because I can't understand it. I think your statement is incomplete.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. The cost, in millions of dollars, to remove x % of pollution in a lake modeled by a. What is the cost to remove 75% of the pollutant? b. What is the cost to remove 90% of the pollutant? c. What is the cost to remove 99% of the pollutant? d. For what value is this equation undefined? e. Do the answers to sections a. through d. match your expectations? Explain why or why not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation i gave above goes after modeled by in the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that help any?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait. I'll think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 30 million

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 30.08 million b. 30.29 million c. 30.30 million

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d. If x% = 10000 % ? LOL.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, in the question, does it literally mean that it should only be in the millions and not in the billions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the question for whats its worth lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. because I was thinking that if I do my other thought's idea (lol), i would get the better answer but I would get billions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that's that for a to d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah and the question doesnt mention billions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hahah. for e, i don't know what to answer. LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i answered it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats part 1 of the question lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has three total

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huwat? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, bring on the other!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a beast lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2. Biologists want to set up a station to test alligators in the lake for West Nile Virus. Suppose that the costs for such a station are $2,500 for setup costs and $3.00 to administer each test. a. Write an expression that gives the total cost to test x animals. b. You can find the average cost per animal by dividing total costs by number of animals. Write the expression that gives the average cost per animal. c. Find the average cost per animal for 10 animals, 100 animals, and 1,000 animals. d. As the number of animals tested increases, what happens to the average cost to test the animals? Would the average cost ever fall below $3.00? If so, identify a value that supports your answer. If not, explain how you know. e. How many animals should be tested for the average cost to be $5.00 per animal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 2500 + 3x b. (2500 + 3x)/x c. 2530, 2800, 5500 d. as the number of animals tested increases, the average cost decreases. No because you're just averaging and when you include the cost for setup, the average cost just tells how much in one pet the setup value cost. e. 1250 animals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does that satisfy you? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll leave you for a moment. I'll just do my homework.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much
