What single decimal multiplier would
you use to increase by 17% followed by
a 15% decrease?

Answer:

b = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In an exponential equation:

f(x) = a (b)ˣ

Evaluated at x+1:

f(x+1) = a (b)ˣ⁺¹

The ratio between them is:

f(x+1) / f(x)

= (a (b)ˣ⁺¹) / (a (b)ˣ)

= b

So the decay factor b can be found by dividing the consecutive y values.

b = 16 / 12

b = 4/3

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{5}\)

Answer:

3/500

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent means

per hundred.

So we have the following.

0.6%=0.6 per hundred = 0.6/100

We next need to rewrite 0.6/100 so that is doesn't have a decimal in the numerator.

To do this, we multiply it by 10/10, which equals 1.

0.6/100 = 0.6/100 x 10/10 = 6/1000

(Note that we do not try to cancel when doing the multiplication.)

Our answer must be written in simplest form.

This fraction has a denominator of 1000.

So we can simplify it by focusing only on the factors 2 and 5.

In this case, we can divide both the numerator and denominator be 2.

6/1000 = 6 ÷ 2/1000 ÷ 2 = 3/500

We cannot use 2 or 5 to simplify further. So 3/500 is in simplest form.

So the answer is 3/500.

The cost of the present is $20.67

Given,

The cost of the present = x

Amount given by cousin = $13.78

Amount given by cousin is 2/3 of x.

That is,

13.78 = 2/3 of x

Lets find x

13.78 = 2/3 × x

13.28 = 2x/3

Multiply with 3 on both sides

13.78 × 3 = (2x/3) × 3

We get,

41.34 = 2x

Divide 2 on both sides

That is,

41.34/2 = 2x/2

We get,

x = 20.67

Here, x is the cost of the present

Therefore, the cost of the present is $20.67

The correct answer is option C: \(\(k + 4 = 16\).\) This linear equation represents the relationship between Tina and Kai's volunteer times.

To represent the given situation, the equation that correctly represents the relationship between Tina's volunteer times (Tina = 16) and Kai's volunteer times (Kai = k) is:

\(\[Tina = Kai + 4\]\)

In this equation, Tina's volunteer times are represented by "Tina," and Kai's volunteer times are represented by "Kai." Since Tina has volunteered 4 more times than Kai, we add 4 to Kai's volunteer times to get the total number of times Tina has volunteered.

Substituting the given values, we have:

\(\[16 = k + 4\]\)

This equation represents the fact that Tina has volunteered \(16\) times, which is equal to Kai's volunteer times (k) plus the additional 4 times that Tina volunteered.

Simplifying the equation:

\(\[k + 4 = 16\]\)

This equation is equivalent to the original equation and represents the relationship between Tina and Kai's volunteer times. Hence, the correct answer is option C: \(\(k + 4 = 16\).\)

The height of the projectile after 4 seconds is 421.28 ft.

The projectile is in the air for 8.015 seconds.

The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is 881.77 ft.

The maximum height of the projectile is 464.1 ft.

To solve this problem, we can use the kinematic equations of motion for a projectile.

Let's assume that the initial height of the projectile is zero.

What is the height of the projectile after 4 seconds:

We can use the equation:

\(y = yo + vot + 1/2at^2\)

where

y = height of the projectile

yo = initial height (zero in this case)

vo = initial vertical velocity = 220 sin(60°) = 190.53 ft/sec

a = acceleration due to gravity \(= -32.2 ft/sec^2\) ( negative since it acts downwards)

t = time = 4 sec

Plugging in the values, we get:

\(y = 0 + (190.53)(4) + 1/2(-32.2)(4)^2 = 421.28 ft\)

Therefore, the height of the projectile after 4 seconds is 421.28 ft.

Long is the projectile in the air:

The time of flight of a projectile can be calculated using the equation:

t = 2vo sinθ / g

where θ is the launch angle and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Plugging in the values, we get:

t = 2(220 sin(60°)) / 32.2 = 8.015 sec

Therefore, the projectile is in the air for 8.015 seconds.

Horizontal distance traveled by the projectile:

The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile can be calculated using the equation:

\(x = xo + vot + 1/2at^2\)

where

x = horizontal distance traveled

xo = initial horizontal position (zero in this case)

vo = initial horizontal velocity = 220 cos(60°) = 110 ft/sec

a = acceleration due to gravity (zero in the horizontal direction)

t = time = 8.015 sec

Plugging in the values, we get:

\(x = 0 + (110)(8.015) + 1/2(0)(8.015)^2 = 881.77 ft\)

Therefore, the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is 881.77 ft.

Maximum height of the projectile:

The maximum height of a projectile can be calculated using the equation:

\(ymax = yo + (vo^2 sin^2 \theta ) / 2g\)

Plugging in the values, we get:\(ymax = 0 + (190.53^2 sin^2(60\degree )) / (2)(32.2) = 464.1 ft\)

Therefore, the maximum height of the projectile is 464.1 ft.

A, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost ($) = C

lbs (Blueberries) = W

One pound of blueberries costs $2.75 because to find how much 1 lb is you need to divide by 6.

6 is the number of pounds at that point in the graph, so you divide both the pounds and cost by 6 to find how much 1 lb is.

To find how much 5 lbs costs, multiply both the cost and number of pounds ($2.75 to 1 lb) by 5.

2.75 * 5 is 13.75 (This means C is wrong)

Do the same but with 12 for D

2.75 * 12 is 33, so D is correct

You could do the same method as above for E, but the easier way to do this is to see that the relationship of 3:9 is equal to a 1:3 ratio, which is the same as what the pounds to cost ratio is (which is 1:2.75)

The peak of the mountain has a height of 14805 feet.

In this problem we find the case of an exponential function for atmospheric pressure (p), in pounds per square inch, in terms of height (x), in miles, whose expression is introduced below:

\(p(x) = 14.7 \cdot e^{- 0.21\cdot x}\), for x ≥ 0.

If we know that p(x) = 8.164 lb / in², then the height of the peak of a mountain is:

\(8.164 = 14.7\cdot e^{-0.21 \cdot x}\)

\(0.555 = e^{-0.21\cdot x}\)

Then, by relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions and logarithm properties:

㏑ 0.555 = - 0.21 · x · ㏑ 1

㏑ 0.555 = - 0.21 · x

x = - (1 / 0.21) · ㏑ 0.555

The figure is a composite figure compromising of a rectangle OHKN, two triangles ∆LMN and ∆HJK, and a semicircle of arc HP, hence the total area will be derived by the sum of area for each basic shapes.

We can observe from the figure that the lines OL and HK are parallel, likewise the lines OH and NK, so OHKN is a rectangle and its area can be simply derived by multiplying its length by the width.

LMN and HJK are two different triangles and their area can be derived by half of the multiple of their base and height.

we will be left with a semicircle of arc HP and the area is derived using the formula πr²/2, where r is the radius.

In order to simulate the amount of bullseyes that Grace will strike during her upcoming turn, we can carry out the following steps:

Within each loop cycle, generate 5 random integers between 0 and 1 to represent the likelihood of hitting a bullseye with each missile.

Accumulate the total number of bullseyes achieved for each round by adding the number of times the generated figure is less than or equal to 2/3.

After successfully running the simulation through 10,000 rounds, divide the total number of bullseyes hit by 10,000 to get the average number of bullseyes struck every round.

Finally, state the expected number of bullseyes that Grace will hit on her next turn by saying the average from step 4.

As a result, by prudently repeating numerous rounds, our algorithm can factor in the differential element instinctive throughout this process and eventually obtain a more precise tally of the predicted number of bullseyes Grace may potentially hit during her upcoming turn.

a) X has a mean of 25 and a variance of 8.

b) The probability that the total weight X is between 22 and 28 oz is 0.711.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the mean and variance of a sum of random normal variables.

We can apply the rule for mean and variance for sum of independent variables:

\(X=L+M\\\\E(X)=E(L+M)=E(L)+E(M)\\\\V(X)=V(L+M)=V(L)+V(M)-2CoV(L,M)=V(L)+V(M)\)

Then, the mean and variance of X is:

\(E(X)=E(L)+E(M)=15+10=25\\\\\\V(X)=V(L)+V(M)=2^2+2^2=4+4=8\\\\\sigma_x=\sqrt{V(X)}=\sqrt{8}\approx2.83\)

We can calculate the probability that X is between 22 and 28 as:

\(z_1=\dfrac{X_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{22-25}{2.83}=\dfrac{-3}{2.83}=-1.06\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{X_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{28-25}{2.83}=\dfrac{3}{2.83}=1.06\\\\\\P(22<X<28)=P(z<1.06)-P(z<-1.06)\\\\P(22<X<28)=0.855-0.145=0.711\)

To determine when the total cost of each health club will be the same, we can set up an equation and solve for the number of months.

Let's assume the number of months is represented by 'x'.

For Club A, the total cost is given by:

Total cost of Club A = $13 (one-time fee) + $28x (monthly fee)

For Club B, the total cost is given by:

Total cost of Club B = $19 (one-time fee) + $27x (monthly fee)

To find the number of months when the total cost is the same, we set the two equations equal to each other:

$13 + $28x = $19 + $27x

Simplifying the equation, we get:

$28x - $27x = $19 - $13

$x = 6

Therefore, after 6 months, the total cost of each health club will be the same.

To find the total cost for each club after 6 months, we substitute the value of 'x' back into the equations:

Total cost of Club A after 6 months = $13 + $28(6) = $13 + $168 = $181

Total cost of Club B after 6 months = $19 + $27(6) = $19 + $162 = $181

So, the total cost for both Club A and Club B will be $181 after 6 months.

The person who gets to say the last number, 1000, will be Person 6.

Here, we have,

In this scenario, we have seven people sitting in a circle and counting clockwise. The goal is to determine which person will say the last number when they reach 1000. To solve this problem, we can use the concept of modular arithmetic.

When dividing 1000 by the total number of people (7), we get a quotient of 142 and a remainder of 6 (1000 = 142*7 + 6). This means that after completing 142 full rounds of counting, the group will have reached the number 994 (142*7). In the next round, they will continue counting from 995 to 1000.

Since the remainder is 6, it indicates that the last number (1000) will be spoken by the person sitting 6 positions after the first person in the circle (clockwise). In other words, Person 1 says numbers 1, 8, 15, and so on, while Person 6 will say 6, 13, 20, and so on.
