The mass of a particular substance is known to grow exponentially at a rate of 1.5% per day. Its initial mass was 230 grams and,

after t days, it weighed 325 grams.
The equation modelling this growth is

230×1.015 t  =  325.

Use the method of taking logs to solve this equation for t, giving your answer correct to the nearest day.

Answer:

23 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the mass of a particular substance is known to grow exponentially at a rate of 1.5% per day

Initial mass = 230 gm

After t days, mass = 325 gm

The equation is

P(t) = 325 = 230 (1+\frac{1.5}{100} )^t\\\frac{325}{230} =1.015^t\\log 1.413 = t log 1.015\\t = \frac{log 1.413}{log 1.015} =\frac{0.1502}{0.0065} \\=23.229

Approximately after 23 days the mass will become 325 gms.

How to find interquartilte range

<h3>Answer:  Choice C) 8.5</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

Each x represents a data point location.

So, for example, having an x over 60 means 60 is part of the set.

The set of values we're working with is

{59,60,61,63,63,64,66,68,70,71,71,73}

The repeated values are due to the fact we have a stack of two 'x' markers, and they occur at 63 and 71.

To find the IQR (interquartile range), we'll first need to find the median of this set. That's the middle most value.

Count out the number of values to find that there are n = 12 values.

The list splits into two halves that are n/2 = 12/2 = 6 items each

Between slots 6 and 7 is where the median is located.

The value in slot 6 is 64 and the value in slot 7 is 66. Average those two items to get (64+66)/2 = 65

The median is 65

---------------------------------

Next, we'll form two groups L and U such that

L = set of items lower than the median

U = set of items larger than the median

Because n is even, we simply just break the original set into two equal groups (6 items each)

L = {59,60,61,63,63,64}

U = {66,68,70,71,71,73}

The values of Q1 and Q3 represent the medians of L and U in that order.

The median of set L is (61+63)/2 = 62, so Q1 = 62

The median of set U is (70+71)/2 = 70.5, which is Q3

-----------------------------------

To summarize everything so far, we have found

  • Q1 = 62
  • Q3 = 70.5

Subtract those items to get the IQR

IQR = Q3 - Q1

IQR = 70.5 - 62

IQR = 8.5 which points us to choice C as the final answer.

If u took a test that had 150 questions on it but didn’t finish 27 of the questions, what percentage of the questions did u answ
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

82%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of questions = 150

Questions not answered = 27

questions answered = 150 - 27 = 123

percent questions answered

= (questions answered / total questions ) x 100%

= (123/150) x 100%

= 82%

I need help to a can get an A
xeze [42]

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorum to find out the missing side because we have a 90 degree right angle and 2 sides already given to us.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2

<em>a </em>in this case would be the shortest side,

<em>b </em>in this case would be the 2nd longest side,

<em>c </em>is the hypotenuse.

a^{2} + b^{2}= c^{2}   \\a^{2} + 15^{2} = 17^{2}

If we solve this, we get 8!

Cheers!

This extreme value problem has a solution with both a maximum value and a minimum value. Use Lagrange multipliers to find the ex
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Maximum value: 3* \sqrt{n}

Minimum value: -3* \sqrt{n}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g(x) = x_1^2 + x_2^2+x_3^2+ ----+ x_n^2 , the restriction function.The Lagrange Multiplier problem states that an extreme (x1, ..., xn) of f with the constraint g(x) = 9 has to follow the following rule:

\nabla{f}(x_1, ..., x_n) = \lambda \nabla{g} (x_1,...,x_n)

for a constant \lambda .

Note that the partial derivate of f respect to any variable is 1, and the partial derivate of g respect xi is 2xi, this means that

1 = \lambda 2 x_1

Thus,

x_i = \frac{1}{2\lambda} = c

Where c is a constant that doesnt depend on i. In other words, there exists c such that (x1, x2, ..., xn) = (c,c, ..., c). Now, since g(x1, ..., xn) = 9, we have that n * c² = 9, or

c = \, ^+_- \, \sqrt{\frac{9}{n} } = \, ^+_- \frac{3}{\sqrt{n}}

When c is positive, f reaches a maximum, which is \frac{3}{\sqrt{n}}  +  \frac{3}{\sqrt{n}} +  \frac{3}{\sqrt{n}}  + ..... +  \frac{3}{\sqrt{n}}  = n *  \frac{3}{\sqrt{n}}  = 3 * \sqrt{n}

On the other hand, when c is negative, f reaches a minimum, -3 * \sqrt{n}
