By solving a system of equations, we will see that the width is 170ft and the length 275 ft.

<h3>How to get the dimensions of the base?</h3>

For a rectangle of length x and width y, the perimeter is:

P = 2*(x + y).

Here we know that:

x = 2y - 65ft

p = 890ft = 2(x + y)

So we have a system of equations.

To solve this, we need to replace the first equation into the second one:

890ft = 2(x + y)

890ft = 2(( 2y - 65ft) + y)

Now we can solve this for y.

890ft = 4y - 130ft + 2y

890ft + 130ft = 6y

1020ft/6 = y = 170ft

So the width is 170ft, and we know that:

x = 2y - 65ft = 2*(170ft) - 65ft = 275ft

So the length is 275 ft.

Answer:

y = -8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ×(7) - 9 y = 22

14 - 9y = 22

9 y = -8

y = -8/9

World poultry production was 77.2 million tons in the year 2004 and increasing at a continuous rate of 1.6% per year. Assume tha
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A) P(t)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}

B) 89.157 million tons.

C) In year 2017.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that world poultry production was 77.2 million tons in the year 2004 and increasing at a continuous rate of 1.6% per year.

A). We know that a continuous growth function is in form y=a\cdot e^{kx}, where,

a = Initial value,

k = Growth rate in decimal form.

1.6\%=\frac{1.6}{100}=0.016

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

P(t)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}

Therefore, our required function would be P(t)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}, where, P represents world poultry production, in million tons, as a function of the number of years, t, since 2004.

B) To find the world poultry production in the year 2013, we will substitute t=2013-2004=9 in above formula as:

P(9)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016(9)}

P(9)=77.2\cdot e^{0.144}

P(9)=77.2\cdot 1.1548841085249135

P(9)=89.1570531781\approx 89.157

Therefore, the world poultry production in the year 2013 would be 89.157 million tons.

C) To find the number of years it will take for world poultry production to be over 95 million tons, we will equate our function with 95 as:

95=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}

Divide both sides by 77.2:

1.2305699481865285=e^{0.016t}

Take natural log of both sides:

\text{ln}(1.2305699481865285)=\text{ln}(e^{0.016t})

\text{ln}(1.2305699481865285)=0.016t\text{ln}(e)

0.20747743456981035=0.016t*1

Divide both sides by 0.016:

t=12.9673396606

t\approx 13

Therefore, 13 years after in 2017 world poultry production goes over 95 million tons.

Which is one difference between fixed rate mortgages and variable-rate mortgages?
statuscvo [17]
<span>The difference between a fixed rate and an adjustable rate mortgage is that, for fixed rates the interest rate is set when you take out the loan and will not change. With an adjustable rate mortgage, the interest rate may go up or down. </span>
