Malloree wants to calculate the cost of keeping her hot tub heated to a constant temperature. Her hot tub is a square 7 feet on

a side, and it is 2.75 feet deep. If it costs $0.03 to heat one gallon of water per month, what would it cost her to keep her tub heated for one month? (1 cubic foot = 7.5 gallons)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mallorie's hot tub is a square. The formula for determining the volume of the square hot tub is expressed as

Volume = L × W × H

Where

L and W represents the length of each side of the hot tub.

H represents the depth of the hot tub.

Her hot tub is a square 7 feet on a side, and it is 2.75 feet deep. Therefore,

Volume = 7 × 7 × 2.75 = 134.75ft^3

We would convert 134.75ft^3 to gallons. It becomes

134.75 × 7.5 = 1010.625 gallons

If it costs $0.03 to heat one gallon of water per month,

then the amount it will cost her to keep her tub heated for one month would be

1010.625 × 0.03 = $30.32

It’s a square so it means you have to multiply 7*7*2.75 to get 134.75
Multiply that by 7.5 because one cubic foot holds 7.5 gallons
1010.625 *.03 since its 3 cents per gallon
30.318
Round up
$30.32 is the answer

A population of bees is decreasing. The population in a particular region this year is 1,250. After 1 year, it is estimated tha

8_murik_8 [283]

To model this situation, we are going to use the decay formula: $A=Pe^{rt}$
where
$A$ is the final pupolation
$P$ is the initial population
$e$ is the Euler's constant
$r$ is the decay rate
$t$ is the time in years

A. We know for our problem that the initial population is 1,250, so $P=1250$ ; we also know that after a year the population is 1000, so $A=1000$ and $t=1$ . Lets replace those values in our formula to find $r$ :
$A=Pe^{rt}$
$1000=1250e^{r}$
$e^{r}= \frac{1000}{1250}$
$e^{r}= \frac{4}{5}$
$ln(e^{r})=ln( \frac{4}{5} )$
$r=ln( \frac{4}{5} )$
$r=-02231$

Now that we have $r$ , we can write a function to model this scenario:
$A(t)=1250e^{-0.2231t}$ .

B. Here we are going to use a graphing utility to graph the function we derived in the previous point. Please check the attached image.

C.
- The function is decreasing
- The function doe snot have a x-intercept
- The function has a y-intercept at (0,1250)
- Since the function is decaying, it will have a maximum at t=0:
$A(0)=1250e^{(-0.2231)(0)$
$A_{0}=1250e^{0}$
$A_{0}=1250$
- Over the interval [0,10], the function will have a minimum at t=10:
$A(10)=1250e^{(-0.2231)(10)$
$A_{10}=134.28$

D. To find the rate of change of the function over the interval [0,10], we are going to use the formula: $m= \frac{A(0)-A(10)}{10-0}$
where
$m$ is the rate of change
$A(10)$ is the function evaluated at 10
$A(0)$ is the function evaluated at 0
We know from previous calculations that $A(10)=134.28$ and $A(0)=1250$ , so lets replace those values in our formula to find $m$ :
$m= \frac{134.28-1250}{10-0}$
$m= \frac{-1115.72}{10}$
$m=-111.572$
We can conclude that the rate of change of the function over the interval [0,10] is -111.572.

Irina has 6 tubs of yogurt she wants to scoop it all into bowls each bowl holds 1/4 tub of yogurt which division equation can be

elena55 [62]

In order to find the answer, you can use-

1/4x=6

In order to get the answer, you multiply 6 by the denominator.

6x4=24

Then, you'd divide the solution of that part by the numerator.

24 divided by 1 equals 24.

Therefore, the final answer would be 24.

Answer:

$2400

$12,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest equation:

PV(1+it)

we have

10000(1+.06*4)

10000(1.24)

12400

Subtract the PV to get the interest earned

12400-10000= 2400

We just found that the total would be 12,400 and so part B is already solved
