Let <em>t</em> be the time in years, t=0 is now.


Part A


A(t) = 30 (1.20^t)


B(t) = 45 + 3t


Part B


A(5)=  30(1.20^5) = 74.6496  \approx 75


B(5) = 45 + 3(5) = 45+14= 60


Part C


45+3t = 30(1.20^t)


Graphically for positive t these intersect around


t = 3.3 \textrm{ years}

As with any involved word problem, we're gonna want to figure out what we have, what we're looking for, and find a path to get from our knowns to our unknowns.


We'll start by giving our most important numbers labels - I'll include some justifications, too:


\alpha (t) - The number of homes in neighborhood A (α) after t years

\beta (t) - The number of homes in neighborhood B (β) after t years


Why should we go straight for the functions here? Well, a function, in extremely basic terms, is a machine that takes in a number (an <em>input</em>)and produces another one (an <em>output</em>). In part B, we're given an input - 5 - and we want to see what output we get for our machines, α and β. In part C, we're told something about the outputs: we want to see when they're the same;<em> </em>what does t have to be to make \alpha (t)=\beta (t)?


Before we do any of that, we have to give our machines some rules, though, so let's lock that down first.


For \alpha (t), we're given this: <em>"There are 30 homes in Neighborhood A. Each year, the number of homes increases by 20%." </em>Here are what the first few years look like from that information:


\alpha (0)=30\\\alpha (1)=30 +30(0.2)=30(1+0.2)=30(1.2)\\a(2)=30(1.2) +30(1.2)(0.02)=30(1.2)(1+0.2)=30(1.2)(1.2)=30(1.2)^2


The pattern emerging here is <em>exponential</em> - we start with 30 homes at the beginning (\alpha (0)), and we multiply that starting value by 120% (1.2) again and again to get the number of houses for the following years. In general, we can say that


\alpha (t)=30(1.2)^t


For \beta (t), we're told: <em>"Just down the road, Neighborhood B has 45 homes. Each year, 3 new homes are built in Neighborhood B." </em>The first few years look like this:


\beta (0)=45\\\beta (1)=45 + 3\\\beta (2)=45 + 3 + 3 = 45 + 3(2)


Or, in general:


\beta (t)=45+3t


Unlike \alpha (t), \beta (t)'s growth is <em>linear</em> or <em>constant</em>. While \alpha (t) grows faster as it gets bigger, \beta (t)'s never changes. This means that, in the long term, a(t) will shoot above \beta (t). We'll see roughly when one overtakes the other in just a moment.


Now that we have our functions, we can solve parts B and C:


Part B asks how many homes neighborhoods A and B have after 5 years. Since we've already defined our rules, let's use them:


\alpha (5)=30(1.2)^5=74.6496\approx74\\\beta (5)=45+3(5)=45+15=60


After 5 years, neighborhood A has 74 homes and neighborhood B has 60. You'll notice I rounded the decimal value for \alpha (5) <em>down</em>; we don't count fractions of houses/houses under construction, so in light of that, neighborhood A has 74 <em>complete </em>houses.


For part C, we want to find out when \alpha (t)=\beta (t). We could go for an exact answer, but since the question asks for an approximation, it's fine if we just test some values and make an informed estimate.


Fortunately, we have some information that can help us. Neighborhood A has fewer homes than B at the beginning, but as we just found, A will surpass B by year 5. That means that the point where one passes the other is <em>somewhere between 0-5 years</em>. Let's test some values:


\alpha (1)=30(1.2)=36\\\beta (1)=45 + 3(1) = 48\\\\\alpha (2)=30(1.2)^2=43.2\\\beta(2)=45+3(2)=51\\\\\alpha (3) = 30(1.2)^3=51.84\\\beta (3)=45+3(3)=54\\\\\alpha (4)=30(1.2)^4=62.206\\\beta (4)=45+3(4)=57


So a good estimate for part C might be 3 1/2 years, since \alpha (t) passed \beta (t) when t was somewhere between 3 and 4.

Ester sarai and kurry chose a number esters number is 1/10 of saris kurrys number is 10 times as much as sarais sarais number is
Tom [10]

Ester, Sarai, and Kurry each selected a number: 0.009, 0.09, and 0.9, respectively.

One of the four fundamental mathematical operations, along with addition, subtraction, and division, is multiplication. Multiply in mathematics refers to the continual addition of sets of identical sizes. For instance, 3+3+3+3+3 can be expressed as 3 5.

the ester's number is equal to one-tenth of the Sarai number.

= 1 / 10 × 0.09 = 0.009

to determine Kurry's number, multiply Sarai's number by 10

= 10 × 0.09 = 0.9

Therefore, it can be inferred that Kurry chose 0.9, Ester chose 0.009, and Sarai chose 0.09.

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the equation P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is th
Naddik [55]

Answer:

D)Yes. The rectangle can have P = 60 and L = 18 because P = 2(18) + 2(12) would equal 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2L+2W.

If the width is W=12\:units and the length is L=18\:units, then the perimeter becomes:

 P=2\times 12+2\times 18.

 \implies P=24+36.

 \implies P=60.

Therefore the answer is

D)Yes. The rectangle can have P = 60 and L = 18 because P = 2(18) + 2(12) would equal 60

What is an equation of a line,in point-slope from, that passes through (1, -7) and has a slope of -2/3
il63 [147K]

Answer:

y + 7 = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - \frac{2}{3} and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus

y - (- 7) = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1), that is

y + 7 = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1) ← in point- slope form
