a) Number of days the bag will last = 12.5 days

b) The answer lies between 12 and 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Total quantity of the dog food = 25 pounds

Total quantity of food the dog eats per day = 2 pounds

We need to find number of days the bag will last

Step 2 :

The number of days the food will last can be obtained by dividing the total quantity of food by the quantity consumed per day.

Hence

Number of days = \frac{25}{2}  = 12.5 days

The answer lies between 12 and 13.

Step 3:

Answer :

a) Number of days the bag will last = 12.5 days

b) The answer lies between 12 and 13.

The population of Collin County, which follows the exponential growth model,
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

(a) k=0.06217

(b) P=264036e^{0.06217t}

(c) 556,755 is the population in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Population increased from 264,036 in 1990 to 491,675 in 2000.

Let assume , year 1990 as t=0

When t=0, population P = 264,036

When t=10, population P = 491,675

Exponential growth equation is P=P_0e^(kt)

P_0 is the initial population when t=0

So P_0= 264,036

When t=10, population P = 491,675

Plug in all the values and find out k

491675 =  264036 e^{k*10}

Divide both sides by 264036

\frac{491675}{264036}=e^{k*10}

To remove 'e' we take ln on both sides

ln(\frac{491675}{264036})=lne^{10k}

ln(\frac{491675}{264036})=10kln(e)

The value of ln(e) = 1

ln(\frac{491675}{264036})=10k

Divide both sides by 10

k=0.06217

Exponential growth equation is P=P_0e^{kt}

We know  P_0= 264,036

Replace the value of k

P=264036e^{0.06217t}

Now , we find the population in 2012

For year 2012 , t= 12

So we plug on 12 for t  and solve for P

P=264036e^{0.06217*12}

P = 556755.09504

556,755 is the population in 2012

error analysis: a contractor purchases 7 dozen pairs of padded work gloves for $99.12. she incorrectly calculates the unit price
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Unit Price= $1.18

The error is that the contractor divided $99.12 by 7 and didn't multiply the 7 by the dozen (12) first, which lead to a mistake.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit price:

1) multiply 7x12 = 84

  to get the total amount of gloves

2) divide 99.12 by 84

  to get the unit price

Hello,

s=48t-16t²

a)
s=0==>16t(3-t)=0==>t=0 or t=3

b)
s>32==>48t-16t²>32===>16(t²-3t+2)<0
Δ=9-8=1
==>16(t-1)(t-2)<0

==>1<t<2 (negative between the roots)
