Answer:

  (a)  The mold growth rate of the banana bread was three times the mold growth rate of the whole wheat bread

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for exponential growth can be written in the form ...

  f(t) = a·b^t

where a is the initial value, and b is the growth factor for time period t. The growth factor is related to the growth rate by ...

  b = 1 +r . . . . . where r is the growth rate in time period t

__

<h3>banana bread</h3>

The equation for the area of mold on the banana bread is given as ...

  B(t) = 20·1.06^t

Comparing to our generic equation, we see ...

  • a = 20
  • b = 1.06 = 1 + 0.06

The growth rate of the mold on the banana bread is given as 0.06 = 6% per week.

__

<h3>whole wheat bread</h3>

We are given some values of t and area that we can use to find the growth rate of mold on the whole wheat bread.

  W(1) = 40.8 = a·b^1

  W(4) = 43.30 = a·b^4

The ratio is ...

  W(4)/W(1) = (a·b^4)/(a·b^1) = b^3 = 43.30/40.8

Then the value of b can be found to be ...

  b = ∛(43.30/40.8) ≈ 1.02002 ≈ 1 + 0.02

The growth rate of mold on the whole wheat bread is about 0.02 = 2% per week.

__

<h3>comparison of growth rates</h3>

The mold growth rate on the banana bread compared to that on the whole wheat bread is ...

  (banana bread growth rate)/(whole wheat bread growth rate) = 6%/2% = 3

We can conclude ...

<em>   The mold growth rate of the banana bread was three times the mold growth rate of the whole wheat bread</em>

The statement which best compare the mold growth rates is: C. the mold growth rate of the banana bread was half the mold growth rate of the whole wheat bread.

<h3>How to compare the mold growth rates?</h3>

First of all, we would determine area of mold growth B(t) on the piece of banana bread by using this equation:

B(t) = 20(1.06)^t

At t = 1, we have:

B(t) = 20(1.06)^1

B(t) = 21.2 mm².

At t = 2, we have:

B(t) = 20(1.06)^2

B(t) = 22.47 mm².

At t = 3, we have:

B(t) = 20(1.06)^3

B(t) = 23.82‬ mm².

At t = 4, we have:

B(t) = 20(1.06)^4

B(t) = 25.25‬ mm².

Now, we can compare the mold growth rates by using this expression:

B(t) = xW(t)

x = B(t)/W(t)

x = 21.2/40.8

x = 0.5.

At t = 2, we have:

x = 22.47/41.62

x = 0.5.

At t = 3, we have:

x = 23.82/42.45

x = 0.5.

At t = 4, we have:

x = 43.30/25.5

x = 0.5.

tester [92]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

10 hours           x hours

-------------- = -------------

15 logs            9 logs

Using cross products

90 = 15x

Divide by 15

90/15 = 15x/15

6 = x

6 hours

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
vivado [14]

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.

I beg of you to please some-one help..I can't figure this out and it's driving me nuts- I will give Brainlist!
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

<em>A = 70</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>CB </em>is equal to <em>EZ </em>and <em>E </em>equals 35, and <em>E </em>and <em>C </em>are the same, therefore, both <em>E </em>equals 35. Since there's 180 degrees in a triangle, and <em>ABY </em>equals 105, you have to subtract 180 - 105 to get the other angle. When you do that, you get that <em>B </em>equals 75. You have to add <em>E </em>and <em>B</em> (35 + 75), since that's in the same triangle as <em>A. </em>When you do that, you get 110. Subtract 180 - 110 to get <em>A, </em>which is 70.
