4)
2x + 7 = 47
2x = 40
x = 20

5)
2(2x+9)+62 = 180
4x + 18 + 62 = 180
4x = 100
x = 25

kicyunya [14]

Answer: 5 cookies and 6 brownies.

Step-by-step explanation: If she decides to buy 5 cookies it will cost her $2.50. This means she can still spend $12.50. If we need to find how many brownies she can buy, the expression 12.50/2.25 can explain. In this case, she can buy 5 brownies and will have $1.25 left over

Explain why in a drawer containing only two different colors of socks one must draw only three socks to find a matching pair.

lana66690 [7]

There are two different colors of socks, so in the worst case scenario you can draw two different socks. Therefore you need to draw one more sock of any color to have a matching pair.

The population of Americans age 55 and older as a percentage of the total population is approximated by the function f(t) = 10.7

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Part A)

About 0.51% per year.

Part B)

About 0.30% per year.

Part C)

About 28.26%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population of Americans age 55 and older as a percentange of the total population is approximated by the function:

$f(t) = 10.72(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\text{ where } 0 \leq t \leq 20$

Where t is measured in years with t = 0 being the year 2000.

Part A)

Recall that the rate of change of a function at a point is given by its derivative. Thus, find the derivative of our function:

$\displaystyle f'(t) = \frac{d}{dt} \left[ 10.72\left(0.9t+10\right)^{0.3}\right]$

Rewrite:

$\displaystyle f'(t) = 10.72\frac{d}{dt} \left[(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\right]$

We can use the chain rule. Recall that:

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [u(v(x))] = u'(v(x)) \cdot v'(x)$

Let:

$\displaystyle u(t) = t^{0.3}\text{ and } v(t) = 0.9t+10 \text{ (so } u(v(t)) = (0.9t+10)^{0.3}\text{)}$

Then from the Power Rule:

$\displaystyle u'(t) = 0.3t^{-0.7}\text{ and } v'(t) = 0.9$

Thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}\left[(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\right]= 0.3(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}\cdot 0.9$

Substitute:

$\displaystyle f'(t) = 10.72\left( 0.3(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}\cdot 0.9 \right)$

And simplify:

$\displaystyle f'(t) = 2.8944(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}$

For 2002, t = 2. Then the rate at which the percentage is changing will be:

$\displaystyle f'(2) = 2.8944(0.9(2)+10)^{-0.7} = 0.5143...\approx 0.51$

Contextually, this means the percentage is increasing by about 0.51% per year.

Part B)

Evaluate f'(t) when t = 17. This yields:

$\displaystyle f'(17) = 2.8944(0.9(17)+10)^{-0.7} =0.3015...\approx 0.30$

Contextually, this means the percetange is increasing by about 0.30% per year.

Part C)

For this question, we will simply use the original function since it outputs the percentage of the American population 55 and older. Thus, evaluate f(t) when t = 17:

$\displaystyle f(17) = 10.72(0.9(17)+10)^{0.3}=28.2573...\approx 28.26$

So, about 28.26% of the American population in 2017 are age 55 and older.
