Answers

Answer 1

The meaning of each parameter is given as follows:

30,000: cost in the reference year of 2012.1.04: rate of change.

Then the yearly percent increase is of:

4%.

C(3) represents the cost in 2015, which was of $33,746.

a) The expression to represent the cost in 2007 is of: C(-5).

b) The cost was of: $24,658.

How to define an exponential function?

An exponential function is defined as follows:

y = ab^x.

In which:

a is the initial value.b is the rate of change.

For this problem, the function is defined as follows:

y = 30000(1.04)^x.

In which:

x is the number of years since 2012.y is the cost in x years after 2012.

C(3) represents the cost in 2015 and is obtained as follows:

C(3) = 30000(1.04)^3 = $33,746.

C(-5) represents the cost in 2007 and is obtained as follows:

C(-5) = 30000(1.04)^(-5) = $24,658.

(as 2007 was five years before 2012).

A pilot flies on a bearing of 160° for 30 miles. The pilot then executes a quick turn and flies another 15 miles at a bearing of 205°. What bearing should the pilot use (to the nearest second) and how far must she travel(to the nearest of a mile) to make it back to her starting position?

Answers

Answer: 34.65 miles at an angle of 325.39°

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, the initial position is (0,0)

Then she flies 30 miles at an angle of 160°, if we count the angle counterclokwise from the x-axis, the new position will be:

p = (30*cos(120°), 30*sin(120°))

Then she travels another 15 miles at an angle of 205°, the new position is:

p = (30*cos(120°) + 15*cos(205°), 30*sin(120°) + 15*sin(205°))

p = (-28.59 , 19.64)

If she now travles X miles at an angle Y, we must have that the final position is the point (0,0)

this means that:

X*cos(Y) = -(-28.59) = 28.59

X*sin(Y) = -19.64

Now, we can find the quotient between those two equations and use that tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

X*(sin(Y))/(X*cos(Y)) = -19.64/28.59

Tg(Y) = -0.69

Y = ATg(-0.69) = -34.61°

If we use only positive angles, this angle is equivalent to:

360° - 34.61° = 325.39°

now lets find the distance:

Xcos(325.39°) = 28.59

X = 28.59/cos(325.39°) = 34.65 miles.

lan ran 24 laps in a charity run and then walked 0.2 kilometer to the presentation table the total; distance lan traveled was 29.6 kilometer what was the distance of each lap explain how you solve the problem

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.225km is equal to each laps

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kristy total distance traveled = 29.6km

And Kristy ran 24 laps and later walk 0.2km. it simply implies that

Total distance traveled = distance covered running + distance covered walking

Since we know that

Total distance traveled = 29.6km

distance covered running = 24 laps

distance covered walking = 0.2km

Distance covered running in km = total distance traveled - distance covered walking

Distance covered running in km = 29.6km - 0.2km = 29.4km.

To now find the distance for each lap.

Since we have:

Distance covered running in km = 29.4km.

Distance covered running in lap = 24 laps

i.e

24 laps = 29.4km

1 lap = x

Use cross-multiple

24 laps * x = 29.4km × 1 lap

x = 29.4km / 24

x = 1.225km

Therefore

1.225km is equal to each laps.

Answer:1.225km is equal to each laps

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

tan x= 6/8

usually tan θ = perpendicular / base

So,

we get perpendicular = 6, base = 8

Now using Pythagorean Theorem to find hypotenuse

hyp² = base² + Perp²

hyp² = 8² + 6²

hyp²= 64 + 36

hyp²=100

Taking sq root on both sides

hypotenuse = 10

Now

sin θ = Perpendicular / Hyp

sin x = 6 / 10

Now

cos θ = base / Hyp

cos x = 8 / 10

What is the vertex of the graph of a quadratic function?

In a quadratic function, the vertex of the graph refers to the highest or lowest possible outcome of the function. In a graph, the vertex is the highest or lowest point on the parabola,

Given that:

f(x) = x² + 8x - 2

where;

a = 1b = 8c = - 2

By using the vertex formula to find the x-value;

[tex]\mathbf{x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x = \dfrac{-8}{2(1)}}[/tex]

x = -4

So,

y = (-4)² + 8(-4) - 2

y = 16 -32 -2

y = -18

(x - 5)^3 has a power of 3 which is an ODD number. An ODD power means that the graph will cross through the x-axis.

(x + 2)^2 has a power of 2 which is an EVEN number. An EVEN power means that the graph will touch the x-axis.

To find where it will touch the axis set the factor equal to zero and solve.

(x + 2) = 0

Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.2As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could notand did notexist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.3I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed. 4With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.5I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.Which best states the main idea of the text? I have found no proof that dragons ever existed.
