First of all, we have to check out what the yearly decrease really amounted to. Then we'll know if the equation we are using is correct. 

If there is a 26% decrease, then there's 74% of the population that remains. So after 1 year, 74% of 426000 people still live in this community. How many people are still there?

P = 426000 * (74/100) ^1 
P = 315240  are still left in our community. What about the second year? This is really critical, because if we make a mistake in our theory, it will show up here.

P2 = 315240 * (74/100)
P2 = 233277 People still live in this community.


Could we have found P2 directly? Yes.
P2 = 426000 * 0.74^2
P2 = 233277 is the answer. So now we know what the answer to the question must be

year one:315240 is the population in the first year
year two:233277 is the population in the second year

Now we're ready to begin answering your question.
If we start out with 
P =426000 ((1 - 0.26)^1/12)^(12t) we should be able to get a monthly drop for a yearly %. You better read this over a couple of times to get the idea.

So  P = [426000*(.74)^(1/12)]^12t is what you do. By the law of powers, you have done nothing to the actual equation, because the 12s cancel.

Put this in your calculator
.74^(1/12) = 0.97522
Ans our equation becomes
P = 426000 * 0.97522^(12t) where t is in years.

To check the equation, we will let t = 1
P = 426000 * 0.97522^12 
P = 315240

But the acid test is year two.
P = 426000 * 0.97522^24
P = 233277 which checks with doing it one step at a time using 0.74

So the answer is 
P = a * 0.97522^12t 
b = 0.97522 
c = 12*t

100%-26%
426000*(1-0.26)^t, yearly
(0.74^(1/12))=0.74^0.083 monthly rate of decrease
 Equation for calculation population
426000*(0.74^0.083)^12t

I think it should look like this 0.74^0.083 monthly rate of decrease

Answer: 6.82

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know the Law of Sines which is that Sin A/a = Sin B/b = Sin C/c. The Sin on top of the fraction is the angle, and the letter on the bottom is the side opposite from that angle.

Our first step is going to be finding the last angle. We have 2 angles already, but one that's missing. We know that all triangles' angles add up to 180, so we can add 68+40=108. Then do 180-108 to get 72. Now we know the third and final angle.

Ok so back to Law of Sines. Now we can plug into that equation. We only need Sin A/a = Sin B/b (It doesn't matter what order you put them in). And remember the lowercase letter at the bottom represents the OPPOSITE side from one of the angles. Since the problem wants the side opposite Sin 68, let's set up a proportion.

\frac{Sin72}{7} =\frac{Sin 68}{x}

Set up we have what we know. We know one side, and opposite that is the angle we already solved for. Now we can cross multiply and end up with:

x (Sin 72)= 7(Sin 68)

Since we want to isolate x, we can divide each side by Sin 72.

x= 7(Sin 68)/Sin 72

So now let's put it into the calculator:

7(Sin 68)=6.2853

Now let's divide 6.2853/Sin 72

And you should be left with 6.82 if you round it!

8.45 At some point in the season, the Unicorns had won 60% of their basketball games. After that point, they won 8 more games an
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The total number of games won by Unicorn is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We are given with a word problem
  • We are asked to find the number of unicorns played during the season
  • We can do this in two steps

         Step 1: Finding the win percentage

         Step 2: Finding the number of unicorns played during the season

Step 1 of 2

Let the number of games played by unicorn be x.The unicorn won 60% of the first x-10 games That is $\frac{60}{100} \times(x-10)$

Combining the 8 games we get,

$$\begin{gathered}\frac{60}{100}(x-10)+8=\frac{60}{100} \times x-\frac{60}{100} \times 10+8 \\0.6 x-6+8=0.6 x+2\end{gathered}$$

Step 2 of 2

The unicorn totally won 65% of the games played.

That is $\frac{65}{100} \times x=0.65 x$

Equating both the equation gives

$$\begin{gathered}0.6 x+2=0.65 x \\2=0.65 x-0.6 x \\2=0.05 x \\\frac{2}{0.05}=x \\40=x\end{gathered}$$
