Answer:

Collin: about $401 thousand

Cameron: about $689 thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

A situation in which doubling time is constant is a situation that can be modeled by an exponential function. Here, you're given an exponential function, though you're not told what the variables mean. That function is ...

P(t)=P_0(2^{t/d})

In this context, P0 is the initial salary, t is years, and d is the doubling time in years. The function gives P(t), the salary after t years. In this problem, the value of t we're concerned with is the difference between age 22 and age 65, that is, 43 years.

In Collin's case, we have ...

P0 = 55,000, t = 43, d = 15

so his salary at retirement is ...

P(43) = $55,000(2^(43/15)) ≈ $401,157.89

In Cameron's case, we have ...

P0 = 35,000, t = 43, d = 10

so his salary at retirement is ...

P(43) = $35,000(2^(43/10)) ≈ $689,440.87

___

Sometimes we like to see these equations in a form with "e" as the base of the exponential. That form is ...

P(t)=P_{0}e^{kt}

If we compare this equation to the one above, we find the growth factors to be ...

2^(t/d) = e^(kt)

Factoring out the exponent of t, we find ...

(2^(1/d))^t = (e^k)^t

That is, ...

2^(1/d) = e^k . . . . . match the bases of the exponential terms

(1/d)ln(2) = k . . . . . take the natural log of both sides

So, in Collin's case, the equation for his salary growth is

k = ln(2)/15 ≈ 0.046210

P(t) = 55,000e^(0.046210t)

and in Cameron's case, ...

k = ln(2)/10 ≈ 0.069315

P(t) = 35,000e^(0.069315t)

I need help finding the solution
Ilya [14]
<h3>Answer:  226 degrees</h3>

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

Explanation:

Notice the tickmarks on the segments in the diagram. This tells us that chords DC and CB are the same distance from the center. It furthermore means that DC and CB are the same length, and arcs DC and CB are the same measure

arc DC = arc CB

12x+7 = 18x-23

12x-18x = -23-7

-6x = -30

x = -30/(-6)

x = 5

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

Use this x value to find the measure of arcs DC and CB

  • arc DC = 12x+7 = 12*5+7 = 67
  • arc CB = 18x-23 = 18*5-23 = 67

We get the same measure for each, which helps confirm we have the correct x value.

The two arcs in question add to 67+67 = 134 degrees. This is the measure of arc DCB. Subtract this from 360 to get the answer

arc DAB = 360-(arc DCB) = 360-134 = 226 degrees

I'm using the idea that (arc DCB) + (arc DAB) = 360 since the two arcs form a full circle.

If the club decides to send 5 members to the convention, how many different groups of 5 are possible? there are 10 members
hodyreva [135]
For the 1st member, you have 10 possible choices.

For the 2nd, you have 9 remaining choices.

For the 3rd: 8.

So all possible combinations would be:
10*9*8*7*6 = 10! - 5! = 30,240 combinations.
