The number of infections in week 8 will be 172 people

<h3>How to know an exponential table? </h3>

An exponential function is defined by the formula f(x) = aˣ, where the input variable x occurs as an exponent.

According to the reports, the reported infections are growing at a rate of 20%.

Therefore, the exponential function is as follows:

A = 40(1 + 20%)ⁿ

where

  • n = number of weeks

Hence,

Number people = 40(1 + 0.2)ⁿ

when n = 8 weeks

A = 40 (1 + 0.2)⁸

A = 40 (1.2)⁸

A = 40(4.29981696)

A = 171.9926784

A = 172

Therefore, the number of infections in week 8 is 172 people.

An observer 2.5 miles from the launch pad of a space shuttle measures the angle of elevation to the base of the shuttle to be 25
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Height of shuttle at that instant  = 1.17 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the given figure.

C is the position of rocket and B is the position of observer.

Here we need to find AC, that is the height of shuttle at that instant.

Using trigonometric rules on ΔABC, we have

      tan25=\frac{AC}{AB} \\\\tan25=\frac{AC}{2.5}\\\\AC=2.5\times tan25\\\\AC=1.17miles

Height of shuttle at that instant = AC = 1.17 miles

Answer:

No, because using the distributive property, you would get 5b+15  and 3b+15. The number of b you have is different.
