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

Find the mean of x,2x,3x,4x,5x

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

$\displaystyle 3x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is equal to the sum of terms divided by the number of terms.

$\displaystyle \frac{x+2x+3x+4x+5x}{5}$

$\displaystyle \frac{15x}{5}$

$\displaystyle 3x$

Lim x approaches 0 (1+2x)3/sinx

jok3333 [9.3K]

Interpreting your expression as

$\dfrac{3(1+2x)}{\sin(x)}$

when $x$ approaches zero, the numerator approaches 3:

$3(1+2x) \to 3(1+2\cdot 0) = 3(1+0) = 3\cdot 1 = 3$

The denominator approaches 0, because $\sin(0)=0$

Moreover, we have

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^-} \sin(x) = 0^-,\quad \displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^+} \sin(x) = 0^+$

So, the limit does not exist, because left and right limits are different:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^-} \dfrac{3(1+2x)}{\sin(x)}= \dfrac{3}{0^-} = -\infty,\quad \displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^+}\dfrac{3(1+2x)}{\sin(x)}= \dfrac{3}{0^+} = +\infty$

What single percentage change is equivalent to a 15% decrease followed by a 16% decrease?

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Decrease of 28.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for a increase of a% is 1 + a/100.

The multiplier for a decrease of b% is 1 - b/100.

Decrease of 15%

1 - 15/100 = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

Decrease of 16%

1 - 16/100 = 1 - 0.16 = 0.84

Both:

0.85*0.84 = 0.714

Change:

The initial percentage is 100% = 1.

0.714 - 1 = -0.286

Negative, so a decrease

The answer is a decrease of 28.6%.
