Answer: She started with $160.
It will take 6 weeks before she has less than half of what she originally invested.
Step-by-step explanation:
If her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week, it means that the rate at which it is decreasing is exponential.
We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as
A = P(1 - r)^t
Where
A represents the value of the investment after t weeks.
t represents the number of weeks.
P represents the initial value of the investment.
r represents rate of depreciation.
From the information given,
A = $142.40
r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11
t = 1
Therefore
142.40 = P(1 - 0.11)^1
142.40 = P(0.89)
P = 142.4/0.89
P = 160
For her to have half of what she invested originally, then
80 = 160(0.89)^t
80/160 = (0.89)^t
0.5 = (0.89)^t
Taking log of both sides to base 10
Log 0.5 = log0.89^t = tlog0.89
- 0.3010 = - 0.051t
t = - 0.3010/- 0.051
t = 5.9
Approximately 6 weeks
Answer:
12.8 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a proportion where x is the number of seconds for 80 feet
= 
Cross multiply and solve for x
25x = 320
x = 12.8
So, the answer is 12.8 seconds
Answers and Step-by-step explanations:
9-18.
a) All the angles of a triangle add up to 180, by definition. So, we can write the expression: 30 + 115 + x = 180.
Then, we can just solve for x by subtracting 30 and 115 from both sides:
x = 180 - 115 - 30 = 35 degrees
b) Again all three angles should add up to 180, so:
x + x + x = 180 ⇒ 3x = 180 ⇒ x = 180/3 = 60 degrees
9-19.
a) These angles add up to 180:
2x + x + 30 = 180 ⇒ 3x + 30 = 180 ⇒ 3x = 150 ⇒ x = 50
2x = 50 * 2 = 100
The missing angles are 100 degrees and 50 degrees.
b) Again, these add up to 180:
x + 10 + x + 90 = 180 ⇒ 2x + 100 = 180 ⇒ 2x = 80 ⇒ x = 40
x + 10 = 40 + 10 = 50
The missing angles are 50 degrees and 40 degrees.
Hope this helps!
Given:
Guests at an amusement park must be at least 54 inches tall to be able to ride the roller coaster.
To find:
The graph that represents the set of heights that satisfy this requirement.
Solution:
Let x be the height required for the ride.
Guests must be at least 54 inches tall to be able to ride the roller coaster. It means required height is greater than or equal to 54.
So, 54 and all values above 54 are in the solution set.
Since, 54 is included in the solution set, therefore there is a closed circle at 54. All values above 54 are in the solution set, so everything to the right of the circle is shaded.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Answer:
9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
its volume is equal to the area by height;
(2.5 x 3)h = 67.5
h = 9ft
