US National forest cover approximately 300,000 square miles. conversationalist want the total square footage of forests to be 30

0,000 (2nd power) square miles away. When I Vanna used her phone to do the calculation, her screen showed 9e+10. a what does the answer on her screen mean? Explain how you know b. Given that the US has approximately 4 million square miles of land, is this a reasonable goal for conversationalist? Explain

E+10 is equivalent to 10^10, so 9e+10 is equivalent to 9*10^10.  300,000^2 is 90000000000 square miles, whereas the US has 4000000.  Therefore, if the national forests were as large as the environmentalist wants them to be, the forests would be larger than the US, which is impossible!  As a result, this goal is not reasonable.

Find the value of this expression if x=-7 x^2+5/x+1
Ugo [173]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute -7 for x. So we get ((-7)^2+5)/(-7+1). We start with the exponent. (-7)^2 is 49. Then we add 5 to that, and get 54. -7+1 is -6. So we have 54/-6, which is equal to -9.

Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 500 gallons of water in which 50 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Another br
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

A=1500-1450e^{-\dfrac{t}{250}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The large mixing tank initially holds 500 gallons of water in which 50 pounds of salt have been dissolved.

Volume = 500 gallons

Initial Amount of Salt, A(0)=50 pounds

Brine solution with concentration of 2 lb/gal is pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min

R_{in} =(concentration of salt in inflow)(input rate of brine)

=(2\frac{lbs}{gal})( 3\frac{gal}{min})\\R_{in}=6\frac{lbs}{min}

When the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at a slower rate of 2 gal/min.

Concentration c(t) of the salt in the tank at time t

Concentration, C(t)=\dfrac{Amount}{Volume}=\dfrac{A(t)}{500}

R_{out}=(concentration of salt in outflow)(output rate of brine)

=(\frac{A(t)}{500})( 2\frac{gal}{min})\\R_{out}=\dfrac{A}{250}

Now, the rate of change of the amount of salt in the tank

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=R_{in}-R_{out}

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=6-\dfrac{A}{250}

We solve the resulting differential equation by separation of variables.  

\dfrac{dA}{dt}+\dfrac{A}{250}=6\\$The integrating factor: e^{\int \frac{1}{250}dt} =e^{\frac{t}{250}}\\$Multiplying by the integrating factor all through\\\dfrac{dA}{dt}e^{\frac{t}{250}}+\dfrac{A}{250}e^{\frac{t}{250}}=6e^{\frac{t}{250}}\\(Ae^{\frac{t}{250}})'=6e^{\frac{t}{250}}

Taking the integral of both sides

\int(Ae^{\frac{t}{250}})'=\int 6e^{\frac{t}{250}} dt\\Ae^{\frac{t}{250}}=6*250e^{\frac{t}{250}}+C, $(C a constant of integration)\\Ae^{\frac{t}{250}}=1500e^{\frac{t}{250}}+C\\$Divide all through by e^{\frac{t}{250}}\\A(t)=1500+Ce^{-\frac{t}{250}}

Recall that when t=0, A(t)=50 (our initial condition)

50=1500+Ce^{-\frac{0}{250}}50=1500+Ce^{0}\\C=-1450\\$Therefore the amount of salt in the tank at any time t is:\\A=1500-1450e^{-\dfrac{t}{250}}

Stephon has a square brick patio. He wants to reduce the width by 4 feet and increase the length by 4 feet.
alekssr [168]

Answer:  The expressions for the length and width of the new patio are

\ell=x+4,~~w=x-4.

And the area of the new patio is 384 sq. feet.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Stephen has a square brick patio. He wants to reduce the width by 4 feet and increase the length by 4 feet.

The length of one side of the square patio is represented by x.

We are to write the expressions for the length and width of the new patio and then to find the area of the new patio if the original patio measures 20 feet by 20 feet.

Since Stephen wants to reduce width of the patio by 4 feet, so the width of the new patio will be

w=(x-4)~\textup{feet}.

The length of the patio is increased by 4 feet, so the length of the new patio will be

\ell=(x+4)~\textup{feet}.

Now, if the original patio measures 20 feet by 20 feet, then we must have

w=x-4=20-4=16~\textup{feet}

and

\ell=x+4=20+4=24~\textup{feet}.

Therefore, the area of the new patio is given by

A_n=\ell \times w=24\times16=384~\textup{sq. feet}.

Thus, the expressions for the length and width of the new patio are

\ell=x+4,~~w=x-4.

And the area of the new patio is 384 sq. feet.

raketka [301]

Answer:

<h2>18%</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one;

given

initial weight = 55 pounds

final weight= 45 pounds

Step two:

Required

the % weight decrease

% decrease= initial-final/initial *100

% decrease= 55-45/55 *100

% decrease= 10/55 *100

% decrease= 0.18 *100

% decrease= 18%
