A forest has 800 pine trees, but a disease is introduced that kills a fourth of the pine trees in the forest
every year.
Which graph shows the number y of pine trees remaining in the forest 2 years after the disease is
introduced?
In a graph
Answers
The exponential function that models the number of trees after t years is given by:
[tex]A(t) = 800\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^t[/tex]
Hence, after 2 years, 450 trees will be remaining, as the graph at the end of this answer shows.
What is an exponential function?A decaying exponential function is modeled by:
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t[/tex]
In which:
A(0) is the initial value.r is the decay rate, as a decimal.In this problem:
The forest has 800 pine trees, hence A(0) = 800.Each year, a disease is introduced that kills a fourth of the pine trees in the forest every year, hence [tex]r = \frac{1}{4}[/tex].Then, the equation is:
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t[/tex]
[tex]A(t) = 800(1 - \frac{1}{4})^t[/tex]
[tex]A(t) = 800\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^t[/tex]
After 2 years:
[tex]A(2) = 800\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = 450[/tex]
450 trees will be remaining.

Therefore, the Hong Kong dollar equivalent of K70 is HK $ 94.71.
compound interest on a sum of money for 2 years compounded annually is Rs 8034 simple interest on the same sum for the same period and at the same rate is Rs 7800 find the sum and the rate of interest
Answers
Here, we want to find the interest rate and principal
The interest rate, r = 6% and the principal, P = Rs 65,000
Compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^t
Simple interest :
I = P * r * t
Simple interest for 2 years = Rs 7800
Simple interest for 1 year = Rs 7800 / 2
= Rs 3900
Compound interest for 2 years = Rs 8034
Compound interest for the second year = Rs 8034 - Rs 3900
= Rs 4134
Interest on Rs 3900 = Rs 4134 - Rs 3900
= Rs 234
Therefore,
Interest rate, r = 234/3900 × 100
= 0.06 × 100
r = 6%
Recall,
Simple interest :
I = P * r * t
Then,
P = I / r * t
= 3900 / 6% * 1
= 3900 / 0.06
= 65,000
P = Rs 65,000

The closing price of Schnur Sporting Goods Inc. common stock is uniformly distributed between $16 and $30 per share.
What is the probability that the stock price will be:_______
a) More than $25? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
b) Less than or equal to $18? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Answers
Answer:
a) 0.3571 = 35.71% probability that the stock price will be more than $25.
b) 0.1429 = 14.29% probability that the stock price will be less than or equal to $18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Uniform probability distribution:
An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.
The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:
[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]
The probability of finding a value between c and d is:
[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]
The probability of finding a value above x is:
[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]
Uniformly distributed between $16 and $30 per share.
This means that [tex]a = 16, b = 30[/tex]
a) More than $25?
[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{30 - 25}{30 - 16} = 0.3571[/tex]
0.3571 = 35.71% probability that the stock price will be more than $25.
b) Less than or equal to $18?
[tex]P(X < 18) = \frac{18 - 16}{30 - 16} = 0.1429[/tex]
0.1429 = 14.29% probability that the stock price will be less than or equal to $18.

2. When shipping ice cream, melting is understandably a big concern. You will notice that ice cream is not generally packaged in a cube-shaped container. A standard container of ice cream contains 1 L, or 1000 cm3 of ice cream,
a. What would be the optimal dimensions (radius and height) to minimize surface area?
b. What would the surface area be?
C. Suggest at least two reasons why this is different from the ice cream packaging that you see in the stores.
Answers
Answer:
a) Because this asks about the radius and height, I assume that we are talking about a cylinder shape.
Remember that for a cylinder of radius R and height H the volume is:
V = pi*R^2*H
And the surface will be:
S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2
where pi = 3.14
Here we know that the volume is 1000cm^3, then:
1000cm^3 = pi*R^2*H
We can rewrite this as:
(1000cm^3)/pi = R^2*H
Now we can isolate H to get:
H = (1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2)
Replacing that in the surface equation, we get:
S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2
S = 2*pi*R*(1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2) + pi*R^2
S = 2*(1000cm^3)/R + pi*R^2
So we want to minimize this.
Then we need to find the zeros of S'
S' = dS/dR = -(2000cm^3)/R^2 + 2*pi*R = 0
So we want to find R such that:
2*pi*R = (2000cm^3)/R^2
2*pi*R^3 = 2000cm^3
R^3 = (2000cm^3/2*3.14)
R = ∛(2000cm^3/2*3.14) = 6.83 cm
The radius that minimizes the surface is R = 6.83 cm
With the equation:
H = (1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2)
We can find the height:
H = (1000cm^3)/(3.14*(6.83 cm)^2) = 6.83 cm
(so the height is equal to the radius)
b) The surface equation is:
S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2
replacing the values of H and R we get:
S = 2*3.14*(6.83 cm)*(6.83 cm) + 3.14*(6.83 cm)^2 = 439.43 cm^2
c) Because if we pack cylinders, there is a lot of space between the cylinders, so when you store it, there will be a lot of space that is not used and that can't be used for other things.
Similarly for transport problems, for that dead space, you would need more trucks to transport your ice cream packages.
Ophelia is making homemade spaghetti sauce by combining 48 oz of tomato paste with 6 cups of water.how many ounces of tomatoes paste are needed for every cup of water show your work.
Answers
Answer:
8 ounces of tomato paste for each cup of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just divide 48 / 6 to get 8 oz of tomato paste per cup of water.
Hope this helps!
Work Shown:
48 oz of tomato paste = 6 cups of water
48/6 oz of tomato paste = 6/6 cups of water
8 oz of tomato paste = 1 cup of water
In short, we divide both values by 6 so that the "6 cups" becomes "1 cup". We can say the unit rate is 8 oz of tomato paste per cup of water.

Answers
*see attachment for diagram
Answer:
Perimeter = 38
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: when two tangents are drawn to meet at a point outside a circle, the segments of the two tangents are congruent.
Given,
CQ = 5
PQ = 10
PR = 14
Perimeter of ∆PQR = RC + CQ + QB + BP + PA + AR
CQ = QB = 5 (tangents drawn from an external point)
BP = PQ - QB
BP = 10 - 5 = 5
BP = PA = 5 (tangents drawn from an external point)
AR = PR - PA
AR = 14 - 5 = 9
AR = RC = 9 (tangents drawn from an external point)
✔️Perimeter of ∆PQR = RC + CQ + QB + BP + PA + AR

What is Arithmetic Sequence?Arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers where the numbers are arranged ion a definite order such that the difference of two consecutive numbers is a constant. This constant of difference is called common difference which is commonly denoted by the letter 'd'.
Given sequence of numbers is,
-8, -4, 0, 4, 8, 12, ......
We have to find which sequence does it represent.
This is not a series since they are not represented as the sum.
If the sequence is a geometric sequence, then the ratio of consecutive numbers will be same.
If it is arithmetic sequence, then the difference of consecutive numbers will be same.
Here, ratio is not same.
Difference are same.

An election ballot asks voters to select three city commissioners from a group of six candidates. If your aunt and father are running, what is the probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner
Answers
Answer:
0.8 = 80% probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner.
Step-by-step explanation:
The candidates are chosen from the sample without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
In which:
x is the number of successes.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this question:
6 candidates, which means that [tex]N = 6[/tex]
2 are the aunt and father, which means that [tex]k = 2[/tex]
3 are chosen, which means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]
What is the probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner?
Probability of at least one of them being chosen, which is:
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = h(0,6,3,2) = \frac{C_{2,0}*C_{4,3}}{C_{6,3}} = 0.2[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8[/tex]
0.8 = 80% probability that either your aunt or your father will become a city commissioner.
