A woman who has recovered from a serious illness begins a diet regimen designed to get her back to a healthy weight. She current

ly weighs 103 pounds. She hopes each week to multiply her weight by 1.08 each week. (a) Find a formula for an exponential function that gives the woman's weight w, in pounds, after t weeks on the regimen. (b) How long will it be before she reaches her normal weight of 135 pounds?

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.

Question:

A rectangle has a height of 2x^4 and a width of x^2+8x+15. Calculate its area.

Answer:

Area = 2x^6 + 16x^5 + 30x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Height = 2x^4

Width = x^2 + 8x + 15

Required

Determine the area of the rectangle

This is calculated as:

Area = Width * Height

Area = (x^2 + 8x + 15) * 2x^4

Area = 2x^6 + 16x^5 + 30x^4

Answer:

x = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AC and BD are perpendicular bisectors, we can say that at point E, there are 4 right angles [perpendicular bisectors intersect to create 4 90 degree angles].

Now, if we look at the triangle AED, we know that it is a right triangle, meaning that angle E is a right angle.

Also,

We know sum of 3 angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Thus, we can write:

∠A + ∠E + ∠D = 180

<em>Note: Angle A and Angle D are just the half part of the diagram. More exactly we can write:</em>

∠EAD + ∠ADE + ∠DEA = 180

Given,

∠EAD = 56

∠DEA = 90

We now solve:

∠EAD + ∠ADE + ∠DEA = 180

56 + ∠ADE + 90 = 180

146 + ∠ADE = 180

146 + x = 180

x = 180 - 146

x = 34°
