For the annual rate of change of +70%, find the corresponding growth or Decay Factor.

1 answer:

4 0

Hello there!
1. Okay. So 70% is positive, so it is a corresponding growth. 70% is 0.7 in decimal form. C and D are both eliminated, because that's too large. When something grows by 70%, that is less than double. 0.7 is not right either, because that's more of a decay than a growth. The only answer that makes sense id 1.70, because you are going up, and adding 1 to decimal form brings you to the decimal that when multiplied will bring you to the total. The answer is B: 1.70.

2. So, -75% is negative, so it is a decay factor. A is eliminated, because it makes no sense and B is out, because that represents growth, not decay. You lose 75% of the amount overtime compounded, but you still have 25% that remains. To find that amount, you would subtract that amount from 1 to get the decay. 1 - 0.75 is 0.25. The decay factor is 0.25. The answer is D: 0.25.

Step-by step

What do we already know about the equation?

We know that they EACH bought a hockey puck($17) and 2 shirts

Half of 214 is 107. So they had to have spent 107 separately

So we make the equation and let s represent shirts

2s + 17 = 107

- 17 -17

2s= 90. DIVIDE by 2

s = 45

See the attached picture.

Create an equation for the volume of the box, find the zeroes, and sketch the graph of the function.

The resulting box has a volume

$V(x)=x(8-x)(12-x)=x^3-20x^2+96x$

because the volume of a box is the product of its width $(12-x)$ , length $(8-x)$ , and height $(x)$ .

find the zeroes

You know right away from the factored form of $V(x)$ that the zeroes are $x=0,8,12$ . (zero product property)

sketch the graph of the function

Easy to plot by hand. You know the zeroes, and you can check the sign of $V(x)$ for any values of $x$ between these zeros to get an idea of what the graph of $V(x)$ looks like. See the second attached picture.

Here's what I mean by "check the sign" in case you don't follow. We know $V(x)=0$ when $x=0$ and $x=8$ . So we pick some value of $x$ between them, say $x=1$ , and find that

$V(1)=1(8-1)(12-1)=7\cdot11=77$

which is positive, so $V(x)$ will be positive for any other $x$ between 0 and 8. Similarly we would find that $V(x)$ for $x$ between 8 and 12, and so on.

What is the size of the cutout he needs to make so that he can fit the most marbles in the box?

It's impossible to answer this without knowing the volume of each marble...

If Thomas wants a volume of 12 cubic inches, what size does the cutout need to be?

Thomas wants $V(x)=12$ , so you solve

$x^3-20x^2+96x=12$

While this is possible to do by hand, the procedure is tedious (look up "solving the cubic equation"). With a calculator, you'd find three approximate solutions

$x\approx0.1284$
