Answer:

the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

since the volume doubles every minute , the formula for calculating the volume V at any time t is

V(t)=V₀*2^-t , where t is in minutes back from 10 AM and V₀= container volume

thus for t=1 min (9:59 AM) the volume is V₁=V₀/2 (half of the initial one) , for t=2 (9:58 AM) is V₂=V₁/2=V₀/4  ...

therefore when the container is 1/4 full the volume is V=V₀/4 , thus replacing in the equation we obtain

V=V₀*2^-t

V₀/4 = V₀*2^-t

1/4 = 2^-t

appling logarithms

ln (1/4) = -t* ln 2

t = - ln (1/4)/ln 2 = ln 4 /ln 2 = 2*ln 2 / ln 2 = 2

thus t=2 min before 10 AM → 9:58 AM

therefore the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM

Find the constant of variation (k) where y varies directly with x. y = 2, when<br> X = 6.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The graph below models the value of a $20,000 car t years after it was purchased.

                    Value of Car

A graph titled Value of Car has years on the x-axis and Dollars on the y-axis. A line curves down and goes through points (0, 20,000), (4, 10,000), and (14, 2,000).

Which statement best describes why the value of the car is a function of the number of years since it was purchased?

Each car value, y, is associated with exactly one time, t.

Each time, t, is associated with exactly one car value, y.

The rate at which the car decreases in value is not constant.

There is no time, t, at which the value of the car is 0.

Name the figure below in two different ways.<br> C<br> J<br> b
Irina18 [472]

Based on the letters representing the the given figure, two different ways that it can be named are CJB and BJC.

<h3>What other ways can the figured be named?</h3><h3 />

The figure has the midpoint of J.

This means that when you are naming the figure, J has to be in the middle of either of the names that you choose.

You can therefore name the shape CJB which would mean that C is the starting point and B is the ending point.

Or you could name it BJC with B being the starting and C being the ending.

Rest of the question:

Shape description is that of a line that has three different points which are C, J, and B.
