The amount of a pollutant (measured as parts per million) in a local lake can be modeled by the function of A(t)=14(2.71)^-.016*

t, where t is the number of years since a government program was began to help clean up the lake. About how long will it take for the amount of pollutant to reach 7 parts per million?

Solving the exponential function, it is found that it will take 43.5 years for the amount of pollutant to reach 7 parts per million.

<h3>What is the exponential function for the amount of the substance?</h3>

It is given by, after t years:

A(t) = 14(2.71)^{-0.016t}

It will reach an amount of 7 parts per million when A(t) = 7, hence:

A(t) = 14(2.71)^{-0.016t}

7 = 14(2.71)^{-0.016t}

(2.71)^{-0.016t} = 0.5

\log{(2.71)^{-0.016t}} = \log{0.5}

-0.016t\log{(2.71)} = \log{0.5}

t = -\frac{\log{0.5}}{0.016\log{2.71}}

t = 43.5.

A rectangular shelf with an area equal to x^2-16x+60 square units could have which possible dimensions for length and width
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-16x+60

=x²-6x-10x+60

=x(x-6)-10(x-6)

=(x-6)(x-10)

so dimensions are x-6 and x-10.
