For this problem, it could be mistaken to be decay rate which is exponential. But this is actually logical to simple interest in economics.The difference would be, the principal amount and future amount are interchanged because it is decreasing. Using the formula for simple interest,

Year 1950 = Year 2010 (1 + rate*time)
The time would be 2010-1950 = 60 years

114.6 = x(1 + 0.066*60)
x = 23.1 million tons

Answer:

Amount of estimated coal that has been used in the year 2010 = 23.1 million tons

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1950 the use of coal in the us was 114.6 million tons

The use of coal has decreased by 6.6% per year since then

The time would be 2010 - 1950 = 60 years  

Let the estimate amount used in the year 2010

⇒ 114.6 = x(1 + 0.066 × 60)

⇒ 114.6 = x × 4.96

⇒ x = 23.1

Therefore, Amount of estimated coal that has been used in the year 2010 = 23.1 million tons

HELP MEEE RNNNNNNNNNNNNN
dolphi86 [110]

As this rectangle has it's sides parallel to x axis and y axis

it is easy to find the length of it's sides by counting the number of blocks on each sides.

Let us first find co ordinates of all four points

we would calculate them left and right and up down direction from the origian ( the cross point of x and y axis )

A : it is 2 unit left 2 unit up ( -2 , +2 )

B is 5 unit right 2 unit up ( +5 ,+2)

C is 5 unit right 2 unit down ( +5,-2)

D is 2 unit left 2 unit down ( -2,-2)

Let us now find the distance AB : A is 2 unit left B is 5 unit right so length AB= 2+5 = 7

Let us now find distance AD : A is 2 unit up and D is 2 unit down

so length AD= 2+2= 4

Answer should be 7 x 4 units

Suppose that you can only use the set of small letters characters (a-z) and odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) to set a password. What
Flauer [41]

Answer:

31^8

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a password, you need to select 8 characters (not necessarily different) from the set {1,3,5,7,9,a,b,c,...,z}. Now, this set has 31 elements: the 26 lowercase letters from the alphabet and the 5 odd numbers (1,3,5,7,9).

Now, there are 31 ways to choose the first character, it can be any element from our set. The second character can also be chosen in 31 ways, because there are not restrictions (repetitions, specific characters, etc). Similarly, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth characters have 31 possibilities each one.

The number of passwords is the number of ways of selecting the 8 characters, then by the multiplication principle the number of passwords is 31×31×31×31×31×31×31×31=31^8.
