yo sup??

The number can't be a probability of an event cause probability of an even lied between 0 and 1 whereas the number given to use is -0.25.

Since probability can't be negative therefore it isn't a probability of an event.

Hope this helps.

Carol's starting pay for her summer job is $10.25 per hour. Carol earns exactly 3 raises this summer.

kvv77 [185]

She starts off with $10.25 and gets a raise of $0.50, so she earns $10.75 per hour. Then she gets a raise of 10%, so then 10.75 x 0.10 = 1.075, so she earns $11.825 per hour. Then her third raise is $0.50 so she earns $12.325 per hour. The raise for next summer is 5%, so 12.325 x 0.05 = 0.61625, so she earns $12.94125.
She will earn about $12.94 per hour starting off next summer.

Frogs – A species of frog’s population grows 24% every year. Suppose 100 frogs are released into a pond. (For some answers, you

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

293; 869; 11 years

Step-by-step explanation:

N: no. of frogs

t: no. of years

N = 100(1.24^t)

N = 100(1.24⁵)

= 293

N = 100(1.24¹⁰)

= 859

1000 = 100(1.24^t)

10 = 1.24^t

lg10 = t×lg1.24

t = 1/lg1.24

t = 10.7 = 11 years

A heated piece of metal cools according to the function c(x) = (.5)x − 11, where x is measured in hours. A device is added that

e-lub [12.9K]

16.5 degrees below the starting temp, whatever that is. If its 0, then -16.5 degrees.

The first equation would be (.5)5-11=-8.5, because the metal has been cooling for 5 hours.

The device that 'aids' in the cooling would be -5-3=-8, because it is a separate variable that cools the metal, so the amount the device cools is independent of the natural cooling amount, and the equation is independent of the natural cooling equation.
You then add -8.5 and -8, because the device has lowered 8.5 degrees and 8 degrees. This equals -16.5 degrees, or a decrease of 16.5 degrees.
