Answer:

  • Decay Problem.
  • Decay rate,  r = 0.014
  • Initial Amount =120,000
  • P(t)=120000(0.986)^t
  • P(10)=104,220

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for growth/decay is given as:

P(t)=P_0(1 \pm r)^t, where:\\P_0$ is the Initial Population\\r is the growth/decay rate\\t is time

In this problem:

The city's initial population is 120,000 and it decreases by 1.4% per year.

  • Since the population decreases, it is a Decay Problem.
  • Decay rate, r=1.4% =0.014
  • Initial Amount =120,000

Therefore, the function is:

P(t)=120000(1 - 0.014)^t\\P(t)=120000(0.986)^t

When t=10 years

P(10)=120000(0.986)^10\\=104219.8\\\approx 104220 $ (to the nearest whole number)

Simplify the following expression as much as you can use exponential properties. (6^-2)(3^-3)(3*6)^4
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Simplifying the expression (6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4 we get \mathbf{108}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the expression (6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4

Solving:

(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4

Applying exponent rule: a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}

=\frac{1}{(6^{2})}\frac{1}{(3^{3})}(18)^4\\=\frac{(18)^4}{6^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\

Factors of 18=2\times 3\times 3=2\times3^2

Factors of 6=2\times 3

Replacing terms with factors

=\frac{(2\times3^2)^4}{(2\times 3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\=\frac{(2)^4\times(3^2)^4}{(2)^2\times (3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\

Using exponent rule: (a^m)^n=a^{m\times n}

=\frac{(2)^4\times(3)^8}{(2)^2\times (3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{2}\:.\:3^{3}}

Using exponent rule: a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}

=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{2+3}}\\=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{5}}

Now using exponent rule: \frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}

=2^{4-2}\times 3^{8-5}\\=2^{2}\times 3^{3}\\=4\times 27\\=108

So, simplifying the expression (6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4 we get \mathbf{108}

What is the length of the diagonal of a 10 foot by 8 foot rectangle?
zloy xaker [14]
Diagonal of a rectangle formula:

Diagonal = √l² + w²
Diagonal = √10² + 8²
Diagonal = √100 + 64
Diagonal = √164
Diagonal = 12.806 feet.

Or you can use the pythagorean theorem. The diagonal of a rectangle is the hypotenuse of a triangle.

a² + b² = c² ; where a and b represents the lengths of the triangle and c is the hypothenuse. In this case, the lengths are 10 ft and 8ft.

10² + 8² = 100 + 64 = 164 ; This represents c².
c = √c² = √164 = 12.806 ft
