A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a 222-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, t

he warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. After 333 weeks, the sheet is only 1.251.251, point, 25 meters thick. Let S(t)S(t)S, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis denote the ice sheet's thickness SSS (measured in meters) as a function of time ttt (measured in weeks).

S(t) = 3.82 - 0.2t


Step-by-step explanation:


After 7 weeks, the ice is 2.42 meters thick. The ice loses 0.2 meters of thickness per week; this means on the 7th week, it has lost 7(0.2) = 1.4 meters of thickness.


This means the ice started at 2.42+1.4 = 3.82 meters thick.


Our function will start at the original thickness of the ice, 3.82 meters.


Since the ice is losing thickness, we will subtract; it loses at a rate of 0.2 meters per week (t), which gives us 0.2t. This is subtracted from the original, 3.82 meters, giving us


S(t) = 3.82 - 0.2t

Is the function linear or nonlinear? If linear, state the constant rate of change.
KIM [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is nonlinear.  Note that each new x value is obtained by adding 2 to the previous x value (spacing is 2), and that the y values don't follow such a pattern, but follow:

1 = 0 + 1

3 = 1 + 2

9 = 3 + 6

A rectangle has an area of 72 in². The length and the width of the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Area of the rectangle(A) is given by:

where, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

A rectangle has an area of 72 in²

⇒A = 72 in²

then;

It is given that:

The length and the width of the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5.

Length of new rectangle become = 3.5l

Width of new rectangle become = 3.5 w

then;

Area of new rectangle  = (Length of new rectangle)(Width of new rectangle)

⇒Area of new rectangle = (3.5l)(3.5w) =12.25(lw)

Substitute the given values we have;

Therefore, the area of the new rectangle is, 882 in²

Sam bought a car for $25,000 in 2009. Since then the car has depreciated in value by $1,500 a year. Write a function that will a
lesantik [10]

Answer: The car has a value of $17,500.

Explanation: The car was originally bought at $25,000 and was depreciated over 5 years by $1,500 a year. Over 5 years, the car would be depreciated by a total of $7,500 because $1,500 x 5 years equals $7,500 in total. Since you would distract the total depreciation cost from the original value to find the current value of the car, after 5 year of use, the car would be worth $17,500.
