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

The number of lines and triangles illustrates combination

36 lines can be drawn to join the nine points
84 triangles can be drawn using the nine points

<h3>The number of lines that can be drawn</h3>

The given parameters are:

Total points, n = 9

Total points on each line, r = 2

The number of lines that can be drawn is then calculated using the following combination formula

Lines = nCr

This gives

Lines = 9C2

Evaluate the combination expression

Lines = 36

Hence, 36 lines can be drawn to join the nine points

<h3>The number of triangles that can be drawn</h3>

The given parameters are:

Total points, n = 9

Total points on each triangle, r = 3

The number of triangles that can be drawn is then calculated using the following combination formula

Triangles = nCr

This gives

Triangles = 9C3

Evaluate the combination expression

Triangles = 84

Hence, 84 triangles can be drawn using the nine points

How are percent error and percent change similar

mihalych1998 [28]

Percent Change = New Value − Old Value|Old Value| × 100%

Example: There were 200 customers yesterday, and 240 today:

240 − 200|200|× 100% = 40200 × 100% = 20%

A 20% increase.

Percent Error = |Approximate Value − Exact Value||Exact Value| × 100%

Example: I thought 70 people would turn up to the concert, but in fact 80 did!

|70 − 80||80| × 100% = 1080 × 100% = 12.5%

I was in error by 12.5%

(Without using the absolute value, the error is −12.5%, meaning I under-estimated the value)

The difference between the two is that one states factual calculations and the other is a theoretical guess

I need the answer help<br>

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

the second one(20)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you pretend 20 is x, you solve the equation by pluging in x (20) into the equation and it gives you 70, 70 is what the big part is and 70+20 is 90, which is the size of a 90degree side.

4(20)-10

80-10

70+20=90

Solve each equation. Showing your reasoning. X^2-6x-20=7

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

x=-3,x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-6x-20-7=0

x^2-6x-27=0

x^2-(9-3)x-27=0

x^2-9x+3x-27=0

x(x-9)+3(x-9)=0

(x+3)(x-9)=0

x=-3,x=9

. Caroline had 400 stamps in her collection. 1 10 th of them were Indian stamps, Onethird of the remaining stamps were from Euro

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

So 400 stamps

African---> 100

Indian------> 1/10 x 400

= 40

European---> 400-40=360

1/3 x 360

= 120

so 120+40+100= 260

400-260

= 140 stams from US
