PART A :OK so here is the table for the health inspector; all you are really doing is 7+7+7, and so on:
PART A: health inspector: 7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70,77,84..........
PART A:same thing for the fire inspector, except this time your adding 12+12+12, and so on:
PART A: fire inspector: 12,24,36,48,60,72,84,96.......
PART B: and to figure out what day they will both come is you have to find the LCM (least common multiple)
PART B: which in this case is Day 84
hopes this helps!!!!!
Answer: 8.5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:
A = P (1 + r) t
Where:
p = original population
r = growing rate (decimal form) =18/100 = 0.18
t= years
A = population after t years
Replacing with the values given:
192,000 = 47,000 (1+ 0.18)^t
Solving for t:
192,000/47,000 = 1.18^t
4.08 =1.18^t
ln 4.08 = ln 1.18^t
ln 4.08 =t (ln 1.18)
ln 4.08 / ln 1.18 =t
8.5 years = t
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
Answer:
(a) yes it does
(b) the rate is constant because the rate of change (slope) is the same throughout the function.
(c) The rate, or rate of change, is -1/2.
y1 - y2/x1-x2
4 - 2/3 - 9
2/-6
-1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
"In the last 2.5 years, the water level has decreased 0.75 feet."
In the very first statement it has been stated that over the last 2.5 years, the water level in a lake has changed by -0.3 feet per year. That means in the last 2.5 years , total decrease in level is as follows
2.5 x - 0.3 = - .75 ft .
So the statement is true.
B)
"The overall change of the water level after 7.5 years will be -2.75 feet."
This statement appears to be false based on information provided
No prediction regarding rate of decrease for a period beyond 5 year has been made so any statement with respect to a timeline of 7.5 years may turn out to be false.
C)
"The change in water level each year for the next 5 years will be -0.4 feet.
"
This statement prima-facie appears to be true because rate of decrease stated in the statement is 0.4 ft /year for next 5 years .
D )
"The overall change in water level for the next 5 years is equal to 5(0.4)"
this statement is true
as change in one year = .4
change in 5 years = 5 x .4
