A population of 240 birds increases at a rate of 16% annually. Jemel writes an exponential function of the form f(x) = abx to represent the number of birds after x years. Which values should she use for a and b?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\boxed{a = 240, b = 1.16}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

General exponential function for growth or decay is,

[tex]y=a(1\pm r)^{x}[/tex]

Where,

a = initial value,

r = rate of change

+ is used for growth and - is used for decay.

As here, the number of birds increasing so, the exponential function is,

[tex]y=a(1+r)^{x}[/tex]

And initial value a = 240, r = rate of change = 16% = 0.16

Putting the values,

[tex]y=240(1+0.16)^{x}\\\\y=240(1.16)^{x}[/tex]

Comparing this with the given equation [tex]y=ab^{x}[/tex]

Hence, a = 240, b = 1.16

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of a is 240 and b is 1.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial population of the birds = 240,

Annual rate of increasing = 16 %,

Hence, the population of birds after x years

[tex]P=240(1+\frac{16}{100})^x[/tex]

[tex]=240(1+0.16)^x[/tex]

[tex]=240(1.16)^x[/tex]

We can put P = f(x), ( because, f(x) also shows the population of birds after x years )

[tex]\implies f(x) = 240(1.16)^x[/tex] --------(1)

According to the question,

[tex]f(x) =ab^x[/tex] --------(2),

From equation (1) and (2),

a = 240 and b = 1.16

Which of the following is a factor of 2x4 + 22x3 + 60x2?

2x3

Answers

I hope this helps you

Answer  

One factor of the equation [tex]2x^{4} + 22x^{3} + 60x^{2}[/tex] is x + 5 .

Option (d) is correct.

Reason

As the equation in the question is as follows

[tex]= 2x^{4} + 22x^{3} + 60x^{2}[/tex]

simplify the above

Taking 2x² as a common part

= 2x²(x² + 11x + 30 )

= 2x² (x² + 5x + 6x + 30)

= 2x²(x(x+5) +6(x + 5))

= 2x²(x + 5)(x + 6)

Therefore the factors are 2x² , (x +5) , (x + 6) .

What is the area of ABC below? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Based on the given figure above, in order for us to find the area of the triangle, we need to find the value of the base first. So in finding the base, we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem. a2 + b2 = c2. Substitute the values.
(9.4)^2 + (23.2)^2 = c2
88.36 + 538.24 = c2
626.6 = c2
c= 25.03
Now that we have the base, let us proceed for the Area.
The formula for area would be A = 1/2 (b)(h)
Plug in the values.
A = 1/2(25.03)(7.9)
A= 1/2(197.74)
A= 98.87
Therefore, the area of figure ABC is 98.87.

The values for which the rocket's height is 93 feet are t = 0.48 seconds and 12.08 seconds.

What is a parabola?

It is defined as the graph of a quadratic function that has something bowl-shaped.

We have:

A model rocket is launched with an initial upward velocity of 201ft/s.

The rocket's height h (in feet) after t seconds is given by the following:

h = 201t -16t²

The above equation is parabolic.

Plug h = 93 feet

93 = 201t - 16t²

16t² - 201t + 93 = 0

After solving with the quadratic formula:

[tex]\rm t_{1,\:2}=\dfrac{201\pm \sqrt{201^2-4\left(16\right)\left(93\right)}}{2\left(16\right)}[/tex]

t = 0.481, 12.081

or

t = 0.48, 12.08 secods

Thus, the values for which the rocket's height is 93 feet are t = 0.48 seconds and 12.08 seconds.

Answer:

(x, y, z) = (-5, -1, 0) (x, y, z) = (-8, -7, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A graphing calculator or equation-solving web site can tell you the solution is (-5, -1, 0).

As is sometimes the case with multiple-choice questions, you can choose the "consensus answer".

For x, -5 appears in 3 of 4 answer choices.

For y, -1 appears in 3 of 4 answer choices.

For z, 0 appears in 3 of 4 answer choices.

Thus, the "consensus" is that the answer is (-5, -1, 0). Choosing this one to check can shorten the work of checking the answer choices.

-5 +5(-1) +4(0) = -10 . . . first equation can use this answer2(-5) -(-1) +5(0) = -9 . . . second equation can use this answer2(-5) -10(-1) -5(0) = 0 . . . third equation can use this answer

So, by "guess and check" we have determined the solution to be (-5, -1, 0).

__

2. First of all, you can substitute the given value of z into the other two equations. Then you have ...

2x -y +5 = -4-2x +3y -5 = -10

The first of these equations can be solved for y:

  y = 2x +9

and this can be substituted for y in the second of these equations:

  -2x +3(2x +9) -5 = -10

  4x +22 = -10

  4x = -32

  x = -8

and ...

  y = 2(-8) +9 = -7

So this solution, too, is the "consensus solution," ...

  (x, y, z) = (-8, -7, 5)

Answers

Total charges, if it takes the cable installer 5 hours to complete the task would be
42.50*5+45 = 257.5

Answer:   $257.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Total charges of 5 hours paid by father = Charges of cable installer for 5 hours + Service Charge

Charges of cable installer per hour = $42.50

Charges of cable installer for 5 hours = 5 × 42.50 = $212.50

Additional service charge by him = $45.00

So, total charges of 5 hours paid by father = $212.50 + $45.00 = $257.50

Answers

Negative 21 and Negative 23 are the two integers you are looking for. Two negatives make a positive and the are both consecutive odd integers that = 483 when multiplied.
In order to find this you need to assume that they are declared as X and as X + 2. This makes the formula for calculating it x (x+2)=483, and this, based on the formulas for calculation, equals

 x^2+2x-83=0

From this we can see that a negative X is -23, which when +2 is added results in -21.

Bill makes four payments a year of $128.25 for life insurance; four payments of $161.82 for real estate taxes; twenty-four payments of $37.46 for health insurance; and six payments of $221.65 for auto insurance. What is the total of his annual fixed expenses for these items?

Answers

128.25 × 4 = 513
162.82 × 4 = 651.28
37.46 × 24 = 899.04
221.65 × 6 = 1329.9
So add them all up.
3393.22

To calculate the total annual fixed expenses, we multiply the number of yearly payments by the amount of each payment for the different insurances and taxes, and then add these products together to find that the annual fixed expenses total $3,388.74.

The student has asked to calculate the total of his annual fixed expenses for life insurance, real estate taxes, health insurance, and auto insurance. To determine this, we will multiply the amount of each payment by the number of times the payment is made annually and then sum these amounts to get the total yearly expense:

Life Insurance: 4 payments of $128.25

Real Estate Taxes: 4 payments of $161.82

Health Insurance: 24 payments of $37.46

Auto Insurance: 6 payments of $221.65

Now, we calculate each:

Life Insurance: 4  imes $128.25 = $513.00

Real Estate Taxes: 4  imes $161.82 = $647.28

Health Insurance: 24  imes $37.46 = $898.56

Auto Insurance: 6  imes $221.65 = $1,329.90

Adding these amounts gives us the total annual fixed expenses:

$513.00 (Life Insurance) + $647.28 (Real Estate Taxes) + $898.56 (Health Insurance) + $1,329.90 (Auto Insurance) = $3,388.74 as the annual fixed expenses.

 you can write another way

T = 15d + 0.25r + 2h 

Answer: C. [tex]T=15d+\frac{r}{4}+2h[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = days, r = raffle tickets, and h = hours.

Given: A student earns in a day = $15

Then his earning in d days =$15d

Also, he earns for each riffle = $0.25

Then his earning in for r riffles =$0.25r

And , he earns for each hour he works at the game = $2

Then his earning for h hours = $2h

Then the function he can use to calculate his earnings is given by :_

[tex]T=15d+0.25r+2h\\\\\Rightarrow\ T=15d+\frac{1}{4}r+2h[/tex]

Answer:

Option 4- Graph of g(x) is shifted 4 units left and 6 units down from f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Graph of  [tex]g(x)=\frac{1}{x+4}-6[/tex]        

To find : How does the graph of g(x) compare to the graph of the parent function [tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

Solution :  

The graph f(x) is being translated to form the graph g(x).

In graph [tex]g(x)=\frac{1}{x+4}-6[/tex] there is

Translation of 4 unit left and 6 unit downward.

In graph f(x) if we shift the graph with 4 unit left it form

f(x)→f(x+b) , the function is shifted towards left with b unit.

So, [tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{x+4}[/tex]

In graph f(x) if we shift the graph with 6 unit downward it form

f(x)→f(x)-a , the function is shifted downward with a unit.

So, [tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{x+4}-6[/tex]

Therefore, Option 4 is correct.

Graph of g(x) is shifted 4 units left and 6 units down from f(x).
