a. The general form of equation of an uninhibited growth model is:

A = a e^kt

where A is final amount, a is initial amount, k is constant and t is time

From Monday to Wednesday, two days have passed so t = 2, therefore calculating for constant k:

54 = 18 e^k(2)

e^2k = 3

2k = ln 3

k = 0.55

 

So the function becomes:

A(t) = a e^0.55t

 

b. Finding for t when A = 2a

2a = a e^0.55 t

0.55 t = ln 2

t = 1.26 days

Your class rank in 2018 was 89 out of 360 students. In 2019 your class rank was 95 out of 450 students. a. In which year did you
spin [16.1K]

A) given that in 2019 you were among the 21.11% of the best students in the class, in that year you had the higher percentile ranking, and B) the measure of average that would be the most meaningful is the median.

Given that your class rank in 2018 was 89 out of 360 students, while in 2019 your class rank was 95 out of 450 students, to determine A) in which year did you have the higher percentile ranking, and B) if you had the data on the cumulative GPA of each student at the end of the spring semester in 2018, which measure of average would be the most meaningful - mean, median or mode -, the following calculation should be performed:

  • 360 = 100
  • 89 = X
  • 89 x 100/360 = X
  • 24.72 = X
  • 450 = 100
  • 95 = X
  • 95 x 100/450 = X
  • 21.11 = X

Therefore, A) given that in 2019 you were among the 21.11% of the best students in the class, in that year you had the higher percentile ranking, and B) the measure of average that would be the most meaningful is the median.

M∠A+ m∠B = ? How do you know this?
pychu [463]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If m∠A + m∠B = m∠B + m∠C, subtract  m∠B from both sides  [ subtraction property of equality ].

We get that m∠A  = m∠C     and by the  symmetric property of equality,  m∠C = m∠A
