Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Nicole used 3/8 of her ribbon to wrap a present and that she used 6 feet of ribbon for the present,

To know how much ribbon did Nicole have at first goes thus:

Let the ribbon Nicole has at first be y

Since she used 3/8, this will be:

3/8 × y = 6

3y/8 = 6

Cross multiply

3y = 6 × 8

3y = 48

y = 48/3

y = 16

She had 16 ribbons at first

Serga [27]

Answer:

a=56.4\degree

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be an acute angle.

To solve: \sin(a)=0.8325, we take the sine inverse of both sides to obtain:

\sin^{-1}(\sin(a))=\sin^{-1}(0.8325)

Recall  composition property of a function and its inverse function.

f^{-1}(f(x))=x

We apply this property to the left hand side to obtain;

a=\sin^{-1}(0.8325)

We now use our scientific calculator to obtain;

a=56.3564115\degree

We round to the nearest tenth to obtain;

a=56.4\degree

The population of a community is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people present at time t. The initial
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

P(0) = 7,917

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the community is given by the following formula:

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

The initial population P0 has doubled in 5 years.

This means that

P(5) = 2P(0)

Which lets us find r.

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}

2P(0) = P(0)(1+r)^{5}

(1+r)^{5} = 2

Applying the 5th root to both sides

1+r = 1.1487

r = 0.1487

So

P(t) = P(0)(1.1487)^{t}

Suppose it is known that the population is 12,000 after 3 years.

With this, we find P(0)

P(t) = P(0)(1.1487)^{t}

12000 = P(0)(1.1487)^{3}

1.5157P(0) = 12000

P(0) = \frac{12000}{1.5157}

P(0) = 7917
