The following functions give the populations of four towns with time tt in years.
(i) P=600(1.12)^t
(ii) P=1,000(1.03)^t
(iii) P=200(1.08)^t
(iv) P=900(0.90)^t
Which town has the largest percent growth rate? What is the percent growth rate?

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

Transforming given equations :

[tex]1)\ P = 600( 1 + \dfrac{12}{100})^t\\\\2)\ P = 1000( 1 + \dfrac{3}{100})^t\\\\3)\ P = 200( 1 + \dfrac{8}{100})^t\\\\4)\ P = 900( 1 - \dfrac{10}{100})^t[/tex]

From above equations we can see that equation 1) has largest percentage growth rate and the percent growth rate is 12% .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2

Answer: (i), 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The Population of four towns is given

(i) [tex]P=600(1.12)^t[/tex] i.e.

[tex]\Rightarrow P=600(1+0.12)^t\\\Rightarrow P=600(1+12\%)^t[/tex]

rate=12%

(ii) [tex]P=1000(1.03)^t[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=1000(1+0.03)^t\\\Rightarrow P=1000(1+3\%)^t[/tex]

rate=3%

(iii) [tex]P=200(1.08)^t[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=300(1+0.08)^t\\\Rightarrow P=300(1+8\%)^t[/tex]

rate=8%

(iv) [tex]P=900(0.90)^t[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=900(1-0.10)^t\\\Rightarrow P=900(1-10\%)^t[/tex]

rate=10% fall

So, the largest growth rate is for town (i)  i.e. 12%

Abby went to the store to buy ice cream for her party. Each box costs $3. She has a coupon for 20% off her total. If Abby buys 3 boxes, what will she pay after using the coupon?

Answers

Answer: 7.2$

hope it helps :)

step-by-step explanation:

Cost of each box = 3$

Cost of 3 boxes without 20% coupon = 9$

With 20% off Coupon = 9 by 100 multiplied by 20

                                     (the zero's cut with each other leaving)

                                     = 9 by 10 multiplied by 2

                                     (9 multiplied by 2 = 18)

                                     = 18 by 10

                                     (18 divided by 10 = 1.8)

                                     = the 20% of 9$ is equal to 1.8

                                        when subtracted with the total cost leaves 7.2$

Helppop!!A car and van are driving on a highway. The table shows the amount y (in gallons) of gas in the cars gas tank after driving x miles. The amount of gas in the van’s gas tank after driving x miles is represented by the equation y=- 1/5x + 31. Which vehicle uses less gasoline per mile? How many miles must the vehicles travel for the amount of gas in each tank to be the same?

Answers

Answer:

The car uses less gas

They use the same amount of gas after [tex]\frac{640}{7}[/tex] miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The table represents the car mileage

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{5}x + 31[/tex] --- The van

First, calculate the car's slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

From the table, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (60,13.5);\ \ (x_2,y_2) = (180,10.5)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{10.5 - 13.5}{180 - 60}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-3}{120}[/tex]

[tex]m = -\frac{1}{40}[/tex]

Calculate the equation using:

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{40}(x - 60)+13.5[/tex]

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{40}x + 1.5+13.5[/tex]

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{40}x + 15[/tex]

[tex]m = -\frac{1}{40}[/tex] implies that for every mile traveled, the car uses 1/40 gallon of gas

Also:

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{5}x + 31[/tex] --- The van

By comparison to: [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

[tex]m = -\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

This implies that for every mile traveled, the van uses 1/5 gallon of gas.

By comparison:

[tex]1/40 < 1/5[/tex]

This means that the car uses less gas

Solving (b): Distance traveled for them to use the same amount of gas.

We have:

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{5}x + 31[/tex] --- The van

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{40}x + 15[/tex] --- The car

Equate both

[tex]-\frac{1}{5}x + 31 =-\frac{1}{40}x + 15[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\frac{1}{40}x -\frac{1}{5}x =-31 + 15[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{40}x -\frac{1}{5}x =-16[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]\frac{x - 8x}{40} = -16[/tex]

[tex]\frac{- 7x}{40} = -16[/tex]

Solve for -7x

[tex]-7x = -640[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{640}{7}[/tex]

usain bolt broke the world record for the mens 100 m sprint with a time of 9.58 seconds. Florence Griffith Joyner broke the world record for the womens 100 m sprint with a time of 10.49 seconds. If florence and usain were running at their world-record speed in the same race, how many metres behind usain would florence finish?

Answers

Answer:

If Florence Griffith Joyner and Usain Bolt were running at their world-record speed in the same race, Florence Griffith Joyner would finish 8.67 m behind Usain Bolt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the speed of each athlete in m/s

Speed = distance / time

Distance = 100 m

Usain Bolt's speed: 100m / 9.58 s = 10.438 m/s

Florence Griffith Joyner's speed: 100 m/ 10.49 s = 9.533 m/s

Step 2: Determine the distance covered by Florence Griffith Joyner in 9.58 s

Distance = Speed × time

Distance covered by Florence Griffith Joyner = 100 m/ 10.49 s × 9.58 s = 91.32 m

Step 3: Determine the difference in the distance covered by Usain Bolt and Florence Griffith Joyner after 9.58 s

After 9.58 s, Usain Bolt have covered a distance of 100 m

After 9.58 s, Florence Griffith Joyner have covered a distance of 91.33 m

Difference between the distances = (100 - 91.33) m = 8.67 m

Therefore, if Florence Griffith Joyner and Usain Bolt were running at their world-record speed in the same race, Florence Griffith Joyner would finish 8.67 m behind Usain Bolt

Answers

Answer:

225 and greater

Step-by-step explanation:

900/4 or 900 cents/ 4 cents equals 225 on calculator

We use 225 minutes for Plan B to be less expensive than plan A.

What is Inequality?

A relation by which we can compare two or more mathematical expression is called an inequality.

Given that;

For plan A,

We can pay 23 cents per minute.

This can be represented by the equation,

C= 0.23m

For plan B,

We can pay 19 cents per minute plus a flat fee of $9.00.

This can be represented by the equation,

C = 0.19m + 9.00

Now, To find the minutes for plan B is less expensive than plan B

We can write an inequality that represent,

Plan A < Plan B

0.23m < 0.19m + 9

0.23m - 0.19m < 9

0.04m < 9

Divide 0.04 both side,

m < 225

Thus, We use 225 minutes for Plan B to be less expensive than plan A.
