Question 2 (2 points)

Mathematics

Simora [160]4 years ago

Answer:

a. What is the initial value?

= 5575

b. What is the decay factor?

= 0.35 or 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Decay formula is given as

y = a(1 - r)^t

Where:

a = initial value (the amount before measuring growth or decay)

r = decay rate or decay factor (most often represented as a percentage and expressed as a decimal)

t = number of time intervals that have passed

In the question above,

y=5575.(0.65)^t

a. What is the initial value?

y = a(1 - r)^t

y=5575.(0.65)^t

Hence, a = Initial value = 5575

b. What is the decay factor?

r = decay factor

Hence

1 - r = 0.65

r = 1 - 0.65

r = 0.35

The decay factor = 0.35

We can also convert to percentage

= 0.35 × 100%

= 35%

Hence, the decay factor = 0.35 or 35%

Answer:

a. The initial value is 5575

b. The decay factor is 0.35 or 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay equation is given as;

y = 5575(0.65)^t

Mathematically, a decay equation can be written in the form;

A = Ir^t

where A is the amount at a time, I

is the initial value and r represents the decay rate

a. So by comparing this with what we have, we can see that the initial value is 5575

b. We want to write the decay factor

We can rewrite the equation as;

y = 5575 (1-0.35)^t

where 0.35 = 35/100 which can be said to be 35%

A family is comparing different car seats. One car seat is designed for a child up to and including 25 lb. Another car seat is d
kari74 [83]

According to the concept of inequality, the interval notation is 0 < x ≤ 30; 15 < x < 40; 30 ≤ x ≤ 85 based on these range the second and third car seats are suitable.

Inequality:

Inequality refers the non equal relation of the sets.

Given,

A family is comparing different car seats. One car seat is designed for a child up to and including 25 lb. Another car seat is designed for a child between 15 lb and 40 lb. A third car seat is designed for a child between 25 lb and 85 lb, inclusive. Model those ranges with compound inequalities.

Here we need to find in which car seats are appropriate for a 35-lb child

In this question, they provided that, there are three car seats are designed as follows:

First, on is the car seat made for children upto 30lb.

Second one is the seat for children between 15lbs and 40lbs and

And the third one is the seat designed for a child between 30 lb and 85 lb

Here we know that, the seat designed for a child upto and including 30 lb would not be suitable for 35 lb child. Because 35lb is more than the 30 lb.

So, now, the seat designed for a child between 30 lb and 85 lb, 30lbs and 85lbs would be suitable as the child is within these weight ranges that is 35lb.

Therefore, the interval notation is written as,

=> 0 < x ≤ 30; 15 < x < 40; 30 ≤ x ≤ 85;

So, the  second and third car seats are suitable.

Stephen makes wooden shelves for his room he starts with a board that is 20 feet long.Stephen wants to make the shelves 3/4 foot
jek_recluse [69]

The number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Stephen makes wooden shelves for his room

Stephen wants to make the shelves 3/4 foot long

He starts with a board that is 20 feet long

To find: number of shelves he can make

So the number of shelves stephen can make can make is found out by dividing 20 feet long board by 3/4 foot long

\text {number of shelves }=\frac{\text { total length of board stephen has }}{\text { length of each board }}

\text {number of shelves }=\frac{20}{3 / 4}=\frac{20}{0.75}=26.6

So the number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27

Find the net pay:Hours worked -- 35, Hourly Wage --$9.50, Federal tax --$35.02, Social Security -- $25.44
Llana [10]

Answer:

The net pay is $272.04 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in the question

Hours worked - 35, Hourly Wage -$9.50 .

Thus

Gross pay = Hours worked × Hourly Wage

Put all the values in the above

Gross pay = 35 × $9.50

                 = $ 332.5

As given

Federal tax - $35.02, Social Security tax  - $25.44

Thus

Net pay =  Gross pay -  Federal tax - Social Security tax

Put all the values in the above

Net pay = $ 332.5 - $35.02 -  $25.44

             = $332.5 - $60.46

             = $ 272.04

Therefore the net pay is $272.04 .
