Answer:

a.) w = 103 * 1.08^t

b.) 3.5weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

If Her current weight is 103 pounds and she hopes to multiply her her weight each week by 1.08, then

her weight after 1 week = 103 * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08¹

Her weight after 2 weeks = [weight of week 1] * 1.08 = [103* 1.08] * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08²

Weight after 3 weeks= [weight of week 2] * 1.08 = [103 * 1.08 * 1.08] * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08³

Hence weight (W) after t weeks = 103 * 1.08^t

b.) If W = 135, Then

103 * 1.08^t = 135

1.08^t = 135/103

1.08^t = 1.31

Taking log of both sides,

log 1.08^t = log 1.31

t log 1.08 = log 1.32

t = log 1.32/log 1.08

t = 3.5 weeks.

Hence, it will take her 3½ weeks to get to 135pounds weight.

Pyramid A is a square pyramid with a base side length of 7 inches and a height of 6 inches. Pyramid B has a volume of 3,136 in?.
anygoal [31]

Answer:

WE HAVE FIND HOW MUCH MAY TIME BIGGER IS THE VOLUME OF PYRAMID B THAN PYRAMID A.

The answer is 32 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of Pyramid B = 3136 in³

Volume of Pyramid A = ?

We have to find volume of Pyramid A. As Pyramid is a square pyramid, its volume is given as:

V=\frac{(b^2)(h)}{3}

where b = base = 7  and h = height = 6. Substitute the values:

V=\frac{7^2\cdot6}{3}\\V=98\\

Volume of Pyramid A = 98 in³

To find how many time B is bigger than A, divide volume of B by A:

\frac{3136}{98}=32

So, volume of Pyramid B is 32 times bigger than volume of Pyramid A

The statement first, and the statement second are correct because the number of dimes is 34, and the number of quarters is 66

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

0.1x + 0.25y = 19.9 and

x + y = 100

Let x = number of dimes

y = number of quarters

After solving the above system of equations by substitution method.

\rm \dfrac{398-5y}{2}+y=100

y = 66

\rm x=\dfrac{398-5\cdot \:66}{2}

x = 34

Thus, the statement first, and the statement second are correct because the number of dimes is 34, and the number of quarters is 66
