We would have the following sample space:
(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4)

Those give us these sums:
2, 3, 4, 5
3, 4, 5, 6
4, 5, 6, 7
5, 6, 7, 8

P(sum of 2) = 1/16 =0.0625
P(sum of 3) = 2/16 = 0.125
P(sum of 4) = 3/16 = 0.1875
P(sum of 5) = 4/16 = 0.25
P(sum of 6) = 3/16 = 0.1875
P(sum of 7) = 2/16 = 0.125
P(sum of 8) = 1/16 = 0.0625

A model for the population in a small community after t years is given by P(t)=P0e^kt.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
\bf \textit{Amount of Population Growth}\\\\
A=Ie^{rt}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\\
r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\\
\end{cases}

a)

so, if the population doubled in 5 years, that means t = 5.  So say, if we use an amount for "i" or P in your case, to be 1, then after 5 years it'd be 2, and thus i = 1 and A = 2, let's find "r" or "k" in your equation.

\bf \textit{Amount of Population Growth}\\\\
A=Ie^{rt}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &2\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &1\\
r=rate\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &5\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
2=1\cdot e^{5r}\implies 2=e^{5r}\implies ln(2)=ln(e^{5r})\implies ln(2)=5r
\\\\\\
\boxed{\cfrac{ln(2)}{5}=r}\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{A=e^{\frac{ln(2)}{5}\cdot t}} \\\\\\
\textit{how long to tripling?}\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=3\\
I=1
\end{cases}\implies 3=1\cdot e^{\frac{ln(2)}{5}\cdot t}

\bf 3=e^{\frac{ln(2)}{5}\cdot t}\implies ln(3)=ln\left( e^{\frac{ln(2)}{5}\cdot t} \right)\implies ln(3)=\cfrac{ln(2)}{5} t
\\\\\\
\cfrac{5ln(3)}{ln(2)}=t\implies 7.9\approx t

b)

A = 10,000, t = 3

\bf \begin{cases}
A=10000\\
t=3
\end{cases}\implies 10000=Ie^{\frac{ln(2)}{5}\cdot 3}\implies \cfrac{10000}{e^{\frac{3ln(2)}{5}}}=I
\\\\\\

A hot air balloon is currently at a height of 900 feet. The balloon is descending by 10 feet minute. Find a function for the bal
mylen [45]

Answer:

y=-10x+900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of minutes

y ----> the balloon's height in feet

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept

In this problem we have that

The slope is equal to

m=-10\ \frac{ft}{min} ----> is negative because is a decreasing function

b=900\ ft

Remember that the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context the y-intercept is the height of the balloon when the time is equal to zero (initial height)

substitute

y=-10x+900

The top and bottom margins of a poster are each 15 cm and the side margins are each 10 cm. If the area of printed material on th
12345 [234]

Answer:

the dimension of the poster = 90 cm length and 60 cm  width i.e 90 cm by 60 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question.

Let p be the length of the of the printed material

Let q be the width of the of the printed material

Therefore pq = 2400 cm ²

q = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}

To find the dimensions of the poster; we have:

the length of the poster to be p+30 and the width to be \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p} + 20

The area of the printed material can now be:  A = (p+30)(\dfrac{2400 }{p} + 20)

=2400 +20 p +\dfrac{72000}{p}+600

Let differentiate with respect to p; we have

\dfrac{dA}{dp}= 20 - \dfrac{72000}{p^3}

Also;

\dfrac{d^2A}{dp^2}= \dfrac{144000}{p^3}

For the smallest area \dfrac{dA}{dp }=0

20 - \dfrac{72000}{p^2}=0

p^2 = \dfrac{72000}{20}

p² = 3600

p =√3600

p = 60

Since p = 60 ; replace p = 60 in the expression  q = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}   to solve for q;

q = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}

q = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{60}

q = 40

Thus; the printed material has the length of 60 cm and the width of 40cm

the length of the poster = p+30 = 60 +30 = 90 cm

the width of the poster = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p} + 20 = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{60} + 20  = 40 + 20 = 60

Hence; the dimension of the poster = 90 cm length and 60 cm  width i.e 90 cm by 60 cm.

A pair of jeans that originally costs $42 is 25% off.Find the sale price.ASAP PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anon25 [30]
Original Price = $42
Discount = 25%   ---------> 25% is discount because it says 25% <span><u />off!!!</span>
Now,
Sale price = original price - discount % of original price  
                 = 42 - 25% of 42 
                 = 42 - (25/100) * 42   
                 = 42 - 0.25 * 42 
                 = 42 - 10.5 
                 = 31.5

So, the sale price is $31.5
