Answer:
$29,851.24
Step-by-step explanation:
The salary started as x.
Each year it was increased 15%.
A full amount is 100% of the amount. When you add 15% to the amount, you now have 115% of the amount.
115% as a decimal is 1.15; that means that to increase an amount by 15%, multiply the amount by 1.15
For example, let's say you want to know what is a 15% increase on 100. Start with 100. 15% of 100 is 15, so if you add 15% to 100 you expect to get 115.
Now multiply 1.15 by 100. You also get 115 showing you that multiplying a number by 1.15 is the same as adding 15%.
Now let's get back to our problem.
The salary started as x.
Each year, the increase in salary was 15% of the previous salary.
After 1 year the salary is 1.15x.
After 2 years, the salary is 1.15(1.15x).
After 3 years, the salary is 1.15(1.15(1.15x)) = (1.15^3)x
We are told that the salary became $45,400 after the three 15% increases, so
(1.15)^3 * x = 45,400
Multiply out 1.15^3 as 1/15 * 1.15 * 1.15 = 1.520875
1.520875x = 45,400
Divide both sides by 1.520875.
x = 45,400/1.520875
x = 29,851.24

Answer:
perimeter: 121 marea: 399 m²Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths. Here, the bottom side is broken into two parts, so that side length is the sum of the parts. The area is given by the formula for the area of a triangle.
perimeter = 24 m +40 m + 37 m + 20 m = 121 m
area = 1/2bh = 1/2(20 m +37 m)(14 m) = 399 m²

A bacteria culture initially contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After an hour the population has increased to 310.
(a) Find an expression for the number of bacteria after
hours.
(b) Find the number of bacteria after 3 hours.
(c) Find the rate of growth after 3 hours.
(d) When will the population reach 10,000?
Answer:
a) The expression for the number of bacteria is [tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex].
b) There are 2975 bacteria after 3 hours.
c) The rate of growth after 3 hours is about 3365.3 bacteria per hour.
d) A population of 10,000 will be reached after 4.072 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The population growth of the bacteria culture is described by this ordinary differential equation:
[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = k\cdot P[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]k[/tex] - Rate of proportionality, in [tex]\frac{1}{h}[/tex].
[tex]P[/tex] - Population of the bacteria culture, no unit.
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in hours.
The solution of this differential equation is:
[tex]P(t) = P_{o}\cdot e^{k\cdot t}[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]P_{o}[/tex] - Initial population, no unit.
[tex]P(t)[/tex] - Current population, no unit.
If we know that [tex]P_{o} = 100[/tex], [tex]t = 1\,h[/tex] and [tex]P(t) = 310[/tex], then the rate of proportionality is:
[tex]P(t) = P_{o}\cdot e^{k\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{P(t)}{P_{o}} = e^{k\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]k\cdot t = \ln \frac{P(t)}{P_{o}}[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{1}{t}\cdot \ln \frac{P(t)}{P_{o}}[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{1}{1}\cdot \ln \frac{310}{100}[/tex]
[tex]k\approx 1.131\,\frac{1}{h}[/tex]
Hence, the expression for the number of bacteria is [tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex].
b) If we know that [tex]t = 3\,h[/tex], then the number of bacteria is:
[tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]P(3) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot (3)}[/tex]
[tex]P(3) \approx 2975.508[/tex]
There are 2975 bacteria after 3 hours.
c) The rate of growth of the population is represented by (1):
[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = k\cdot P[/tex]
If we know that [tex]k\approx 1.131\,\frac{1}{h}[/tex] and [tex]P \approx 2975.508[/tex], then the rate of growth after 3 hours:
[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = \left(1.131\,\frac{1}{h} \right)\cdot (2975.508)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = 3365.3\,\frac{1}{h}[/tex]
The rate of growth after 3 hours is about 3365.3 bacteria per hour.
d) If we know that [tex]P(t) = 10000[/tex], then the time associated with the size of the bacteria culture is:
[tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]10000 = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]100 = e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]\ln 100 = 1.131\cdot t[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{\ln 100}{1.131}[/tex]
[tex]t \approx 4.072\,h[/tex]
A population of 10,000 will be reached after 4.072 hours.

Find the area enclosed by y1 = (x - 1)3 and y2 = x -1.
I wanted to double check the answer. The professor got something completely different.
Find area between two curves
9514 1404 393
Answer:
0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The "enclosed area" can be taken to mean different things. Here, we consider it to mean the finite area bounded between the two curves, regardless of which curve is higher value than the other.
The area is bounded on the interval [0, 2]. On half that interval y1 > y2; on the other half, y2 > y1. This means the integral of the area between the curves will be different for one part of the interval than for the other. (The curves are symmetric about the point (1, 0).)
The area on the interval [0, 1] is given by the integral ...
[tex]\displaystyle\int_0^1{(y_1-y_2)}\,dx=\int_0^1{((x-1)^3-(x-1))}\,dx\\\\=\int^1_0{(x(x-1)(x -2))}\,dx=\left.(\frac{x^4}{4}-x^3+x^2)\right|^1_0=\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
The area on the interval [1, 2] is the integral of the opposite integrand, but has the same value.
The positive area over the whole interval from 0 to 2 is 1/4+1/4 = 1/2.
If you simply integrate y2-y1 or y1-y2 over that interval, the result is 0.

William invested $12,000 in a bank account that pays 9 percent simple interest. His friend invested the same amount at another bank that pays 8 percent interest compounded quarterly. These two functions, where t is time in years, represent the value of the investments: f(t) = 12(1.02)4t g(t) = 12(1.09)t The functions are graphed, and the point of intersection lies between 0.5 and 1.2. Based on the table, approximately how long will it be until both investments have the same value? Value of t f(t) = 12(1.02)4t g(t) = 12(1.09)t 0.5 12.48 6.54 0.6 12.58 7.84 0.7 12.68 9.16 0.8 12.79 10.46 0.9 12.89 11.87 1.0 12.99 13.08 1.1 13.09 14.39 1.2 13.20 15.70 A. 0.9 year B. 1.0 year C. 1.1 years D. 1.2 years
===========================================================
Explanation:
We have these two functions
f(t) = 12(1.02)^(4t)g(t) = 12(1.09)twhich represent the amounts for his friend and William in that order. Strangely your teacher mentions William first, but then swaps the order when listing the exponential function as the first. This might be slightly confusing.
The table of values is shown below. We have t represent the number of years and t starts at 0.5. It increments by 0.1
The f(t) and g(t) columns represent the outputs for those mentioned values of t. For example, if t = 0.5 years (aka 6 months) then f(t) = 12.48 and that indicates his friend has 12,480 dollars in the account.
I've added a fourth column labeled |f - g| which represents the absolute value of the difference of the f and g columns. If f = g, then f-g = 0. The goal is to see if we get 0 in this column or try to get as close as possible. This occurs when we get 0.09 when t = 1.0
So we don't exactly get f(t) and g(t) perfectly equal, but they get very close when t = 1.0
It turns out that the more accurate solution is roughly t = 0.9925 which is close enough. I used a graphing calculator to find this approximate solution.
It takes about a year for the two accounts to have the same approximate amount of money.

Without any extra conditions, the answer could be 3, and the simplest polynomial with the given roots would be
(x + 5) (x - (1 + 4i )) (x + 4i )
= x ³ + 4x ² + (11 - 4i ) x + 80 - 2i
If the polynomial is supposed to have only real coefficients, then any complex roots must occur along with their complex conjugates:
(x + 5) (x - (1 + 4i )) (x - (1 - 4i )) (x + 4i ) (x - 4i )
= x ⁵ + 3x ⁴ + 23x ³ + 133x ² + 112x + 1360

How can Paige share 11 identical apples among 30 of her friends evenly so that no apple is sliced into more than 10 pieces?
Answer: Paige can slice _ apples into _ pieces each and _ apples into _ pieces each.
Answer:
7 apples into 2 pieces and 4 apples into 4 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
if you split 7 apples into 2 pieces each than you'l have 14 slices. You need 30 though which means you need 16 more. so you split 4 into 4 pieces. and the number of apples we used is 7 and 4 which make up 11. So this answer works
Select the correct answer. Which function is continuous across Its domain
Answer:
D is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
plug the -2's in line 1 & 2 then 4 in 2 and 3
the 1&2 , and the 2 and 3 numbers have to match
Using the conditions for continuity, we find that the function D.) is continuous.
How to check if a function is continuous?A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a, in its domain if the following three conditions are satisfied:
f(a) exists (i.e. the value of f(a) is finite)the right-hand limit = left-hand limit, and both are finite.right-hand limit = left-hand limit = f(a)Since for -4 <= x < -2, -2 <= x < 4 and 4 <= x <= 8, the function f(x) is defined by straight lines , the function will be continuous for all x ≠ -2 and 4. Now for x = -2, 4, let us check all the three conditions:
A.
f(-2) = 0.5 * (-2)² = 2
left hand limit = -2 + 6 = 4
right hand limit = 0.5 * (-2)² = 2
Since, left hand limit is not equal to right hand limit, the function is not continuous at x = -2. No need to check further.
B.
f(-2) = 0.5 * (-2)² = 2
left hand limit = -2 -2 = -4
right hand limit = 0.5 * (-2)² = 2
Since, left hand limit is not equal to right hand limit, the function is not continuous at x = -2. No need to check further.
C.
f(-2) = 0.5 * (-2)² = 2
left hand limit = -2 + 4 = 2
right hand limit = 0.5 * (-2)² = 2
Since, left hand limit is not equal to right hand limit is equal to f(-2), the function is continuous at x = -2.
f(4) = 25 - 3*4 = 13
left hand limit = 0.5 * (4)² = 8
right hand limit = 25 - 3*4 = 13
Since, left hand limit is not equal to right hand limit, the function is not continuous at x = 4.
D.
f(-2) = 0.5 * (-2)² = 2
left hand limit = -2 + 4 = 2
right hand limit = 0.5 * (-2)² = 2
Since, left hand limit is not equal to right hand limit is equal to f(-2), the function is continuous at x = -2.
f(4) = 20 - 3*4 = 8
left hand limit = 0.5 * (4)² = 8
right hand limit = 20 - 3*4 = 8
Since, left hand limit is not equal to right hand limit is equal to f(-2), the function is continuous at x = 4.
Thus, the function is continuous.

The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3773 based on their 13 year win history of 389 wins out of 1031 games played (as of a certain date). Their schedule for November contains 12 games. Let X = number of games won in November.
Find the probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Answer:
0.8895 = 88.95% probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the teams wins, or they do not win. The probability of the team winning a game is independent of any other game, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [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]
And p is the probability of X happening.
The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3773.
This means that [tex]p = 0.3773[/tex]
Their schedule for November contains 12 games.
This means that [tex]n = 12[/tex]
Find the probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November.
This is:
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]
In which:
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.3773)^{0}.(0.6227)^{12} = 0.0034[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.3773)^{1}.(0.6227)^{11} = 0.0247[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.3773)^{2}.(0.6227)^{10} = 0.0824[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0034 + 0.0247 + 0.0824 = 0.1105[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.1105 = 0.8895[/tex]
0.8895 = 88.95% probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November.
A charter school did a local beach cleanup. They collected a total of 55 pounds of plastic bottles and aluminum cans. The California refund value for plastic is $1.60 per pound and $1.28 per pound for aluminum. The school recycled a total of $77.60 worth of plastic and aluminum. How many pounds of each, plastic and aluminum, did the class collect?
Answer:
Plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
total junk = 55 pounds
Value of plastic = $ 1.60 per pound
Value of aluminum = $ 1.28 per pound
Total value= $ 77.60
Let the plastic is p and the aluminum is 55 - p.
Total cost
77.60 = 1.6 p + (55 - p) x 1.28
77.60 = 1.6 p + 70.4 - 1.28 p
7.2 = 0.32 p
p = 22.5 pounds
So, plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Answer:
The numbers are 65, 67, and 69
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We need to find 3 consecutive odd integers.
Consecutive numbers are numbers that follow each other (ex. 1, 2, 3, 4)
We're given that 5 times the first number + 4 times the second + 3 times the third = 800
Let's make the first number x
Since the second number is consecutive to the first and odd, it will be x+2 (Why? Well, let's say x is 5. In that case, x+1=6, which is even. However, x+2=7)
Therefore, the third number is x+4 (once again, if x is 5, x+3=8, but x+4=9)
5 times the first number is 5x
4 times the second is 4(x+2)
3 times the third is 3(x+4)
And of course, that equals 800
As an equation, it'll be:
5x+4(x+2)+3(x+4)=800
open the parenthesis
5x+4x+8+3x+12=800
combine like terms
12x+20=800
Subtract 20 from both sides
12x=780
Divide by 12 on both sides
x=65
The first number is x, so the first number is 65
The second number is x+2, or 65+2=67
The third number is x+4, or 65+4=69
Hope this helps!

Answer:
[tex]g(x) = \frac{-2}{x-1}+5\\\\[/tex]
The graph is shown below.
=========================================================
Explanation:
Notice that if we multiplied the denominator (x-1) by 5, then we get 5(x-1) = 5x-5.
This is close to 5x-7, except we're off by 2 units.
In other words,
5x-7 = (5x-5)-2
since -7 = -5-2
Based on that, we can then say,
[tex]g(x) = \frac{5x-7}{x-1}\\\\g(x) = \frac{5x-5-2}{x-1}\\\\g(x) = \frac{(5x-5)-2}{x-1}\\\\g(x) = \frac{5(x-1)-2}{x-1}\\\\g(x) = \frac{5(x-1)}{x-1}+\frac{-2}{x-1}\\\\g(x) = 5+\frac{-2}{x-1}\\\\g(x) = \frac{-2}{x-1}+5[/tex]
This answer can be reached through alternative methods of polynomial long division or synthetic division (two related yet slightly different methods).
-------------------------
Compare the equation [tex]g(x) = \frac{-2}{x-1}+5\\\\[/tex] to the form [tex]g(x) = \frac{a}{x-h}+k\\\\[/tex]
We can see that
a = -2h = 1k = 5The vertical asymptote is x = 1, which is directly from the h = 1 value. If we tried plugging x = 1 into g(x), then we'll get a division by zero error. So this is why the vertical asymptote is located here.
The horizontal asymptote is y = 5, which is directly tied to the k = 5 value. As x gets infinitely large, then y = g(x) slowly approaches y = 5. We never actually arrive to this exact y value. Try plugging in g(x) = 5 and solving for x. You'll find that no solution for x exists.
The point (h,k) is the intersection of the horizontal and vertical asymptote. It's effectively the "center" of the hyperbola, so to speak.
The graph is shown below. Some points of interest on the hyperbola are
(-1,6)(0,7) .... y intercept(1.4, 0) .... x intercept(2, 3)(3, 4)Another thing to notice is that this function is always increasing. This means as we move from left to right, the function curve goes uphill.

We want to determine an equivalent trignometric identity with the given expression:
[tex]\cos (x) - \cos^3 (x)[/tex]
We can factor out a cos(x):
[tex]=\cos (x) (1-\cos^2 (x))[/tex]
Recall from the Pythagorean Identity that:
[tex]\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \sin^2(x) = 1 - \cos^2(x)[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]=\cos(x)(\sin^2(x))=\cos(x)\sin^2(x)[/tex]
Our answer is B.
What can you say about the y-values of the two functions f(x) = 3x -3 and
g(x) = 7x2 -3?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
the y-values of g(x) are limited to values of at least -3, those of f(x) are not limitedthe y-values are the same for two different x-valuesStep-by-step explanation:
You can say lots of things about the y-values of these functions. A couple of observations are listed above. In addition, we can say the y-values of g(x) will be greater than those of f(x) for x-values not equal or between the x-values where the y-values are the same.
Answer:
• g(x) has the smallest possible y-value.
• The minimum y value of g(x) is -3.

7r - 3s =26
2r - 6s =8
Answer:
r = 3 2/3
s = -0.444333
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the top equation by 2
14r - 6s = 52
2r - 6s = 8 Subtract the two equations
12r = 44 Divide by 12
r = 44/12
r = 3 8/12
r = 3 2/3
2r - 6s = 8
2*(2 2/3) - 6s = 8
2*2.6667 - 6s = 8
5.3334 - 6s = 8 Subtract 5.3334 from both sides.
- 6s = 2 2/3 Divide by - 6
s = - 0.4443333
At a snack food manufacturing facility, the quality control engineer must ensure that all products feature the appropriate expiration date. Suppose that a box of 60 candy bars includes 12 which do not have the proper printed expiration date. The quality control engineer, in inspecting the box, grabs a handful of seven candy bars. What is the probability that there are exactly 3 faulty candy bars among the seven
Answer:
0.1108 = 11.08% probability that there are exactly 3 faulty candy bars among the seven.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bars are chosen 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:
60 total candies means that [tex]N = 70[/tex]
12 are faulty, which means that [tex]k = 12[/tex]
Seven are chosen, so [tex]n = 7[/tex]
What is the probability that there are exactly 3 faulty candy bars among the seven?
This is [tex]P(X = 3)[/tex]. So
[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 = 3) = h(3,70,7,12) = \frac{C_{12,3}*C_{48,4}}{C_{60,7}} = 0.1108[/tex]
0.1108 = 11.08% probability that there are exactly 3 faulty candy bars among the seven.

Two systems of equations are given below. For each system, choose the best description of its solution.
x - 5y = 5
-x + 5y = -5
a. The system has no solution.
b. The system has a unique solution:
(x,y) = _______
c. The system has infinitely many solutions. They must satisfy the following equation:
y = ________
Answer:
Infinitely many solutions.
They must satisfy [tex]y = \frac{1}{5}(x - 5)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]x - 5y = 5[/tex]
[tex]-x + 5y = -5[/tex]
Required
The best description
Add both equations
[tex]x - x - 5y + 5y = 5 - 5[/tex]
[tex]0+0 =0[/tex]
[tex]0 = 0[/tex] ---- this means that the system has infinitely many solutions.
Make y the subject in: [tex]-x + 5y = -5[/tex]
Add x to both sides
[tex]5y = x - 5[/tex]
Divide through by 5
[tex]y = \frac{1}{5}(x - 5)[/tex]
Hence, they must satisfy: [tex]y = \frac{1}{5}(x - 5)[/tex]
What is the value of x in the diagram below? If necessary, round your answer

Answer:
A. 7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
In this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. This means corresponding sides have the same ratio.
short side/hypotenuse = x/12 = 12/20
Multiplying by 12 gives ...
x = 12(12/20) = 144/20
x = 7.2
