Answer:

it will take about 7.5 hours to increase from 20 to 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

y(t) = a e^kt

20 = a e^ kt1

2000 = a e^ kt2

divide these equations

2000/20 = a e^ kt2/ a e^ kt1

when dividing the exponents subtract

100 =a/a e^(kt2-kt1)

factor out the k

100 = e ^ k(t2-t1)

take the natural log on each side

ln(100) = ln (e^ k(t2-t1)

ln (100) = k(t2-t1)

divide by k

ln(100)/k = (t2-t1)

we know k=.614

ln(100)/.614 = t2-t1

7.500277 = t2-t1

it will take about 7.5 hours to increase from 20 to 2000

Answer:

$3^2 \times 3^5 = 3^7$

3^2 * 3^5 = 3^7

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean this:

$3^2 \times 3^5$

If so, then the rule is that when you multiply two numbers with the same base, you give the same base and add the exponents.

$3^2 \times 3^5 = 3^{2 + 5} = 3^7$

In 2001 the mint indoor pool vault record was 20 and 1/6 the women’s record for the indoor pool vault was 15 and 5/12 FT what is

blondinia [14]

Answer:

35 and 7/12 feet is the combined height of the two records.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the indoor pool vault record for men = 20 and 1/6 ft = $\frac{121}{6} ft$

Height of indoor pool vault record for women = 15and 5/12 ft = $\frac{185}{12} ft$

The combined height of the two records :

$\frac{121}{6} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft$

$\frac{121\times 2}{6\times 2} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft$

$\frac{242}{12} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft$

$\frac{242+185}{12} ft=\frac{427}{12}=35\frac{7}{12}$

35 and 7/12 feet is the combined height of the two records.

Create equal fractions to find the number of hours he used the health club for.

2/13=x/29.25

Then, simplify so that x is by itself.

(29.25x2)/13 = x
x= 58.5/13
x=4.5 hours
