Rate=progress/time
progress=number of tomatoes

are rates the same aka are they equal?
20/2=35/3.5?
10=35/3.5
10=70/7
10=10
true

yes they are

In order to do this we must see if
$\frac{20}{2}= \frac{35}{3.5} ?$

$\frac{20}{2} = 10$

$\frac{35}{3.5} = \frac{35}{ \frac{7}{2} } = \frac{5*2*7}{7} = 10$

$10 = 10$ √

An advertising company designs a campaign to introduce a new product to a metropolitan area of population 3 Million people. Let

Advocard [28]

Answer:

$P(t)=3,000,000-3,000,000e^{0.0138t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P(t) increases at a rate proportional to the number of people still unaware of the product, we have

$P'(t)=K(3,000,000-P(t))$

Since no one was aware of the product at the beginning of the campaign and 50% of the people were aware of the product after 50 days of advertising

<em>P(0) = 0 and P(50) = 1,500,000 </em>

We have and ordinary differential equation of first order that we can write

$P'(t)+KP(t)= 3,000,000K$

The <em>integrating factor </em>is

$e^{Kt}$

Multiplying both sides of the equation by the integrating factor

$e^{Kt}P'(t)+e^{Kt}KP(t)= e^{Kt}3,000,000*K$

Hence

$(e^{Kt}P(t))'=3,000,000Ke^{Kt}$

Integrating both sides

$e^{Kt}P(t)=3,000,000K \int e^{Kt}dt +C$

$e^{Kt}P(t)=3,000,000K(\frac{e^{Kt}}{K})+C$

$P(t)=3,000,000+Ce^{-Kt}$

But P(0) = 0, so C = -3,000,000

and P(50) = 1,500,000

so

$e^{-50K}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow K=-\frac{log(0.5)}{50}=0.0138$

And the equation that models the number of people (in millions) who become aware of the product by time t is

$P(t)=3,000,000-3,000,000e^{0.0138t}$

Find the perimeter of each of the two non congruent triangles where a=15,b=20 and a=29

Alborosie

Answer:

b. about 63.9 units and 41.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In question ∠a= 29° and Side of a= 15 and b= 20

Using sine rule of congruence of triangle.

⇒ $\frac{a}{sin A} = \frac{b}{sin B} = \frac{c}{sin C}$

⇒ $\frac{15}{Sin 29} = \frac{20}{sin B}$

Using value of sin 29°

⇒ $\frac{15}{0.49} = \frac{20}{sin B}$

Cross multiplying both side.

⇒ Sin B= $\frac{20\times 0.49}{15} = 0.65$

∴ B= 41°

Now, we have the degree for ∠B= 41°.

Next, lets find the ∠C

∵ we know the sum total of angle of triangle is 180°

∴∠A+∠B+∠C= 180°

⇒ $29+41+B= 180$

subtracting both side by 70°

∴∠C= 110°

Now, again using the sine rule to find the side of c.

$\frac{b}{SinB} = \frac{c}{SinC}$

⇒ $\frac{20}{sin41} = \frac{C}{sin110}$

Using the value of sine and cross multiplying both side.

⇒ C= $\frac{20\times 0.94}{0.65} = 28.92$

∴ Side C= 28.92.

Now, finding perimeter of angle of triangle

Perimeter of triangle= a+b+c

Perimeter of triangle= $(15+20+28.92)= 63.9$

∴ Perimeter of triangle= 63.9 units
