Answer: 7.2 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to substitute f(x) =500 in the equation given:

f(x) = 100(1.25)^x

500= 100(1.25)^x

Solving for x (number of months)

500/100 = 1.25^x

5 = 1.25^x

log 5 =log 1.25^x

log 5 =x (log 1.25)

log 5 /log 1.25 =x

x = 7.2 months

A grocery store estimates that customers arrive at the rate of 15 per hour. The cashier can serve customers at a rate 20 per hou

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

3 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of arrival (λ) = 15 per hour

Service rate (μ) = 20 per hour

The number of customers in a system given the arrival rate and the mean service rate is given by:

$N = \frac{\lambda}{\mu-\lambda}\\$

Applying the given data:

$N = \frac{15}{20-5}\\N=3\ customers$

The average number of customers in the system is 3 customers.

If w = 12 units, x = 7 units, and y = 8 units, what is the surface area of the figure? Figure is composed of a right square pyra

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

720 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length and width of square prism, w = 12 units

Height of square prism, x = 7 units

Height of square pyramid, y = 8 units

Please have a look at the attached image.

Here 2 Surfaces will not be exposed which are base of the square pyramid and the top of the square prism i.e. 2 square surfaces will not be exposed.

Here, surface area of the composite figure will be:

Surface Area of Composite Figure = Lateral surface area of Square Pyramid + Surface Area of 5 surfaces of the square prism

For finding the lateral surface area of pyramid, we need to find the slant height of the pyramid.

Let slant height be $l$ units.

Using pythagoras theorem, we can find out the value of $l$ .

As per theorem:

$Hypotenuse^{2} = Base^{2} + Height^{2}\\$

$\Rightarrow l^{2} = (\dfrac{w}{2})^{2} + y^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = (\dfrac{12}{2})^{2} + 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = {6}^{2} + 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = 36+64 = 100\\\Rightarrow l = 10\ units$

Lateral surface area of square prism = 4 $\times$ Area of triangular surface

$\Rightarrow 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2}\times Base \times Slant\ Height\\\Rightarrow 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 12\\\Rightarrow 240\ sq\ units$
