Learning Theory In a typing class,the averege number N of words per minutes typed after t weeks of lessons can be modeled by N =

95/(1+8.5e- 0.12t).
(a) Find the averege number of words per minute typed after 10 weeks.
(b) Find the averege number of words per minute typed after 20 weeks.
(c) Use a graphing utility to graph the model. Find the number of weeks required to achieve an averege of 70 words per minute.
(d) Does the number of words per minute have a limit at t increases without bound?Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

a) N(t=10) = \frac{95}{1+8.5 e^{-0.12(10)}}= \frac{95}{1+ 8.5 e^{-1.2}} = 26.684

b) N(t=20) = \frac{95}{1+8.5 e^{-0.12(20)}}= \frac{95}{1+ 8.5 e^{-2.4}} = 53.639

c) 70 =\frac{95}{1+8.5 e^{-0.12t}}

1+ 8.5 e^{-0.12t} = \frac{95}{70}= \frac{19}{14}

8.5 e^{-0.12t} = \frac{19}{14}-1= \frac{5}{14}

e^{-0.12t} = \frac{\frac{5}{14}}{8.5}= \frac{5}{119}

ln e^{-0.12t} = ln (\frac{5}{119})

-0.12 t = ln(\frac{5}{119})

t = \frac{ln(\frac{5}{119})}{-0.12} = 26.414 weeks

d) If we find the limit when t tend to infinity for the function we have this:

lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{95}{1+8.5 e^{-0.12t}} = 95

So then the number of words per minute have a limit and is 95 as t increases without bound.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression for the average number of words per minutes typed adter t weeks:

N(t) = \frac{95}{1+8.5 e^{-0.12t}}

Part a

For this case we just need to replace the value of t=10 in order to see what we got:

N(t=10) = \frac{95}{1+8.5 e^{-0.12(10)}}= \frac{95}{1+ 8.5 e^{-1.2}} = 26.684

So the number of words per minute typed after 10 weeks are approximately 27.

Part b

For this case we just need to replace the value of t=20 in order to see what we got:

N(t=20) = \frac{95}{1+8.5 e^{-0.12(20)}}= \frac{95}{1+ 8.5 e^{-2.4}} = 53.639

So the number of words per minute typed after 20 weeks are approximately 54.

Part c

For this case we want to solve the following equation:

70 =\frac{95}{1+8.5 e^{-0.12t}}

And we can rewrite this expression like this:

1+ 8.5 e^{-0.12t} = \frac{95}{70}= \frac{19}{14}

8.5 e^{-0.12t} = \frac{19}{14}-1= \frac{5}{14}

Now we can divide both sides by 8.5 and we got:

e^{-0.12t} = \frac{\frac{5}{14}}{8.5}= \frac{5}{119}

Now we can apply natural log on both sides and we got:

ln e^{-0.12t} = ln (\frac{5}{119})

-0.12 t = ln(\frac{5}{119})

And then if we solve for t we got:

t = \frac{ln(\frac{5}{119})}{-0.12} = 26.414 weeks

And we can see this on the plot 1 attached.

Part d

If we find the limit when t tend to infinity for the function we have this:

lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{95}{1+8.5 e^{-0.12t}} = 95

So then the number of words per minute have a limit and is 95 as t increases without bound.

You bought a large cooler that holds 5 gallons. How many quarts is that?
Korvikt [17]
First we will see how many quarts are in a gallon.

1 gallon = 4 quarts. 

Now lets MULTIPLY to get our answer.  

5 gallon = ? quarts

5 × 4 = 20 

So, the cooler has 20 quarts or 5 gallons.

Hope I helped ya!!!!!!!

Two friends board an airliner just before departure time. There are only 11 seats left, 4 of which are aisle seats. How many way
Vadim26 [7]

Using the Fundamental Counting Theorem, it is found that:

The 2 people can arrange themselves in 40 ways.

<h3>What is the Fundamental Counting Theorem?</h3>

It is a theorem that states that if there are n things, each with n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_n ways to be done, each thing independent of the other, the number of ways they can be done is:

N = n_1 \times n_2 \times \cdots \times n_n

With one people in the aisle and one in the normal seats, the parameters are:

n1 = 4, n2 = 7

With both in the aisle, the parameters is:

n1 = 4, n2 = 3

Hence the number of ways is:

N = 4 x 7 + 4 x 3 = 28 + 12 = 40.

Choose the graph that matches the following system of equations: (6 points)
KengaRu [80]

The graph that matches the following system of equation is; the picture of a coordinate plane with line y equals negative 4x minus 1 and line y equals minus 3 over 2 times x plus 4. They intersect at negative 2, 7.

<h3>What is the graph of a function?</h3>

The graph of a function y = f(x) shows the position of the x-intercepts and y-intercepts from the graph from which the slope can be drawn.

The system of linear equations can be rewritten in slope-intercept form as follows:

y = -4x - 1

y = -3/2x + 4

From the graph, the two equations intercept at point (-2,7).
