A bike tire just ran over a nail, and it is losing pressure at a rate of 5% every minute. The tire pressure is currently 900 kilopascals. What will it be in 7 minutes?

9514 1404 393

  629 kilopascals

Step-by-step explanation:

The tire pressure is given by the exponential function ...

  p(t) = 900·0.95^t

where t is in minutes and p is in kilopascals.

  p(7) = 900·0.95^7 ≈ 629 . . . . kilopascals

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

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

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
