Answer:

The growth factor b is 1.04

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

y=a(b^x)

where

y ---> is the number of students enrolled at a college

x ----> the number of years

a is the initial value or y-intercept

b is the growth factor

b=(1+r)

r is the rate of change

we have

a=15,000\ students

r=4\%=4/100=0.04

b=1+0.04=1.04

therefore

The exponential function is equal to

y=15,000(1.04^x)

Please I need help. you will get points ​
iragen [17]

Answer:

t(32) = 94

Step-by-step explanation:

a. I think s is the independent variable

b I think t or t(s) is the dependent variable since the total amount of money depends on how many treats are sold.

t(32) = 30 + 2(32)

t(32) = 30 + 64

t(32) = 94

I'm a little unsure on the dependent and independent variable but I know the function is correct.

Hope this helps :)

Which function should be used to when evaluating the function at x = −5? HELP ASAP!!
Furkat [3]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the function p(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\frac{1}{4} x^{2}+1 & \text { if } x \leq 3 \\\frac{1}{4} x+2.5 & \text { if } x>3\end{array}\right.

We need to determine the function to evaluate when x = -5.

<u>Function</u>:

The function is given two interval. The interval x\leq 3 means that x takes all values less than or equal to 3.

And the interval x>3 means that x takes all values greater than 3.

We need to determine the function that takes the limit when x = -5.

From the two limits, the limit x = -5 lie in the interval x\leq 3 because the interval takes all x values less than or equal to 3.

Hence, the function is p(x)=\frac{1}{4} x^{2}+1

Thus, Option A is the correct answer.

Valerie is taking a road trip over spring break. At 4:30 p.m. she looks down at her speedometer and notices that she is going 45
hammer [34]

Answer:

b. 4:35 p.m

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed in t minutes after 4:30 p.m. is modeled by the following equation:

v(t) = v(0) + at

In which v(0) is her speed at 4:30 pm and a is the acceleration.

At 4:30 p.m. she looks down at her speedometer and notices that she is going 45 mph.

This means that v(0) = 45

Ten minutes later she looks down at the speedometer again and notices that she is going 55 mph.

This means that v(10) = 55

So

v(t) = v(0) + at

55 = 45 + 10a

10a = 10

a = 1

So

v(t) = 45 + t

When was she moving exactly 50 mph?

This is t minutes after 4:30 p.m.

t is found when v(t) = 50. So

v(t) = 45 + t

50 = 45 + t

t = 5

5 minutes after 4:30 p.m. is 4:35 p.m.

So the correct answer is:

b. 4:35 p.m

Please help me.

To solve this problem, the first thing we have to do is find the volume of the inside of each glass.

Glass 1 is a cylinder with a height of 6 cm and a radius of 3 cm (6 cm / 2).

The formula for finding the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h; where r is the radius and h is the height. First, assign values to the variables (I will use 3.14 for pi).

π = 3.14

r = 3

h = 6

Then, just substitute into the equation and solve.

V = πr²h

V ≈ (3.14)(3²)(6)

V ≈ (3.14)(9)(6)

V ≈ 169.56 cm³

I use the "≈" symbol to indicate that the answer is not exact due to me rounding pi. Let me know if you need to know the exact volume.

Glass 2 can be separated into both a cylinder and a half circle to make it easier to solve. The cylinder is 3 inches high with a radius of 3 cm.

V ≈ πr²h

V ≈ (3.14)(3²)(3)

V ≈ (3.14)(9)(3)

V ≈ 84.78 cm³

The formula for finding the volume of a half-circle (or half-<em>sphere</em>, I should say) is V = (4/3 πr³) / 2. The half-sphere has a radius of 3 cm and a height of 3 cm.

V = (4/3)(3.14)(3³) / 2

V ≈ 113.04 / 2

V ≈ 56.52 cm³

Then just add the two volumes together to get the volume of the whole glass.

84.78 + 56.52 = 141.3

V ≈ 141.3 cm³

Glass 3 is a cone. The volume for finding the volume of a cone is

V = πr²(h/2)

Before we can solve for the volume, though, we first need to find the height. This is a right cone, meaning that a straight line running from the center of its base to its tip forms a right angle with the base. This allows use to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find h using the radius and the lateral height.

a² + b² = c²

3² + b² = 7²

9 + b² = 49

9 + b² - 9 = 49 - 9

b² = 40

√b² = √40

b ≈ 6.32

V ≈ (3.14)(3²)(6.32 / 3)

V ≈ (28.26)(≈2.11)

V ≈ 59.6286 cm³

Two more steps to go...

Now, we have to find the volume of a single ice cube.

V = (4/3)πr³

V ≈ (4/3)(3.14)(1³)

V ≈ 4.19 cm³

Finally, to finish solving the problem, we have to find out how many ice cubes can fit inside each glass. To do this, we just divide the volume of the glass by the volume of the ice cube.

Glass 1

169.56 / 4.19 ≈ 40.47 or just 40.

Glass 2

141.3 / 4.19 ≈ 33.72 or 34.

Glass 3

59.6286 / 4.19 ≈ 11.84 or 12.

I know it's kinda long and the answer's might not match up exactly with the ones you were supposed to give, but I hope it helps all the same!

And if you want to know the exact volumes (in terms of pi instead of 3.14 for pi), just let me know and I can get that for you.
