The number of carbon atoms in a fossil is given by the function [tex]y = 5100(0.95)^{x}[/tex], where x represents the number of years since being discovered. What is the percent of change per year? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\%x=5\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Carbon atoms in fossil function

[tex]y=5100(0.95)^x[/tex]

 

Generally the equation a 2 year change is mathematically given by

For[tex]x=1[/tex]

[tex]y_1=5100(0.95)^1\\y_1=4845[/tex]

For [tex]x=2[/tex]

[tex]y_2=5100(0.95)^2\\y_2=4602.75[/tex]

Generally the equation percentage year changes [tex]\%x[/tex] is mathematically given by

[tex]\%x=\frac{y_1-y_2}{y_1} *100[/tex]

[tex]\%x=\frac{4845-4602.75}{4845} *100[/tex]

[tex]\%x=5\%[/tex]

Therefore  the percent of change per year is

[tex]\%x=5\%[/tex]

The formula for finding the volume of a cone is V=
nur?n. The radius of a cone is 5 cm and the height of a cone is 10
cm. What is the approximate volume of the cone?

Answers

Answer:

261.8 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) find the base area

base area = radius^2 x pi = 5^2 x pi = 25 x pi = 78,539816 cm^2

2) find the volume

V = (base area x height)/3 = (78.539816 x 10)/3 = 785.3/3 = 261.8 cm^3

If the buses run on schedule, when is the next time a red line and a blue line bus will leave together? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

So the next time they will leave together is 4:24 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both the buses left at 4 pm and red line bus leaves every 6minutes and blue line bus leaves every 8 minutes they next time they leave together can be found by taking the L.C. M of 6 and 8.

The L.C. M is found by multiplying all the factors and chosing one which common in both numbers.

Factors of 6 = 2*3

Factors of 8= 2*2*2

In these numbers 2 is common in both.The rest of the numbers( 2*2*3 )are multiplied with the the common 2 to get the L.C.M

L.C.M= 2*2*2*3= 24 minutes

So the next time they will leave together is 4:24 pm

Answer:

d) [tex](9*3/4)+y[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

b) [tex]9+y*(3/4)[/tex]

This expression is not equivalent, as the original expression, [tex]y+9*\frac{3}{4}[/tex] , has 9 multiplied to [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] instead of y. You can interchange values like this when it comes to addition, but not multiplication.

c) [tex](y+9)(3/4)[/tex]

This expression is also not equivalent. After opening up the parentheses, it would again result in y being multiplied to [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex].

[tex](y+9)(3/4)\\= y(3/4)+9(3/4)[/tex]

d) [tex](9*3/4)+y[/tex]

This expression is equivalent, as 9 and [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] are still being multiplied together and y is added to the product. We can actually rearrange this to look like the original expression:

[tex](9*3/4)+y\\=y+(9*3/4)\\=y+(9*\frac{3}{4} )\\=y+9*\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

The temperature drops to a rate of five degrees per hour. Be d the number of degrees that lowers the temperature. Be the number of hours you spend. What is the dependent variable?

Answers

Answer:

d, the number of degrees that the temperature was lowered by

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent variable in this scenario would be d, the number of degrees that the temperature was lowered by. This is because the value of this variable depends on the actual amount of hours that have passed by. Therefore, depending on the number of hours, the value of d could be completely different. The variable h for the number of hours does not depend on any other variable in the equation and has its own value, but since d depends on h then it would be the dependent variable in this scenario.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 16x – 6. If the length is
5x + 2, what is the width?

Answers

Answer:

3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2 × 2 = 10x + 4

do this take 16x - 6

you get 6x + 2

then divide by 2 to get the answer 3x+1

Answer:

w = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle formula:

P = 2(l + w)

16x - 6 = 2(5x + 2 + w)

16x - 6 = 10x + 4 + 2w

2w = 16x - 6 - 10x - 4

2w = 6x - 10

w = 3x - 5

y=(-7/2)x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+2y-3=0

7x+2y=3

2y=-7x+3

y=(-7/2)x+3

Answer:

y = - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c

Given

7x + 2y - 3 = 0 ( subtract 7x - 3 from both sides )

2y = - 7x + 3 ( divide each term by 2 )

y = - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ← in slope- intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

On the line, we see that a = 0.5 and b is after -1. a + b will be negative because anything after -1 added to .5 will be negative.

Example:

-1 + .5 = -.5

-2 + .5 = -1.5

-3 + .5 = -2.5

Answer: Negative

Step-by-step explanation: the b we can see is far away from  -1 that means its around - 2 and if we were to add 0.5 and - 2 we would get -1.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

First we add what we know for y into the second equation.

5x - 4(x +2)= -3

From there, we simplify it

5x-4x-8= -3

x-8=-3

Now we get the x on its own

x=5

and now we add x=5 into the first equation that we had and simplify to find y

y=5+2

y=7

So the answer is x=5, y=7 or (5,7)

2)

For this one we do the same thing as with 1.

Add what we know for y (bottom equation) to the top equation

3x-8(x-8)=24

Now we simplify

3x-8x+64=24

-5x+64=24

And now solve for X

-5x=-40

x=8

And then substitute x=8 to find y

y=8=8

y=0

So the answer is x=8, y=0 or (8,0)

On a coordinate plane, a square has points A (negative 5, 2), B (1, 2), C (negative 4, 1), and D (negative 5, negative 4). If a translation of is applied to square ABCD, what is the y-coordinate of B'?

Answers

Answer:

The y coordinates of B' is: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A = (-5,2)[/tex]

[tex]B =(1,2)[/tex]

[tex]C = (-4,1)[/tex]

[tex]D = (-5,-4)[/tex]

Translation of (x, y) → (x + 6, y – 10)  ---Missing from the question

Required

Determine the y coordinates of B'

We have:

(x, y) → (x + 6, y – 10)  

And

[tex]B =(1,2)[/tex]

So the translation from B to B' is:

[tex]B (1,2) \to B'(1+6,2-10)[/tex]

[tex]B (1,2) \to B'(7,-8)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]B' = (7,-8)[/tex]

The y coordinates of B' is: 8
