A plastic sun visor allows light to pass through but reduces the intensity of the light. the intensity is reduced by 5% if the p

lastic is 1mm thick each additional millimetre of thickness reduces the intensity by another 5%
Use an equation to model the relation between the thickness of the plastic and the intensity of light

Answer: The equation is f(x) = 0.95^{x};

The piece of plastic has to have 10mm of thickness.

Step-by-step explanation: It is known that with 1 mm of thickness, 5% of the intensity is reduced. So, 95% of the light is transmitted.

For each milimetre added, "more" 95% of light is transmitted.

For example, if another milimetre of plastic is added, another 0.95 of light is transmitted:

0.95.0.95 = 0.9025 of light reach the visor

So, the model that relate thickness of plastic and intensity of light is:

f(x) = 0.95^{x}

in which:

f(x) is the intensity of light;

x is thickness in mm;

Using the equation, the thickness necessary to reduce intensity to 60% is:

f(x) = 0.95^{x}

0.6 = 0.95^{x}

log 0.6 = log 0.95^{x}

x. log (0.95) = log (0.6)

x = \frac{log 0.6}{log 0.95}

x = 9.95

x ≈ 10

The thickness necessary to reduce intensity of light to 60% is 10mm.

If I deposit $100,000 in a retirement account that gives 8 % paid annually, what will be balance after 25 years?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

$300,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 8% of 100,000 all you need to do is multiply 100,000 by .08.

100,000 (.08) = 8,000

The 8,000 accounts for one year, so now you have to multiply 8,000 by 25.

8,000 (25) = 200,000

Now add the initial amount to the additional 200,00 that will be paid to the retirement account.

100,000 + 200,000 = 300,000

The answer is $300,000.
