Answer:

$P(t)=50(1.99)^{t/12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be modeled by using the compound growth formula.

Given, Initial number $P_0$ of people who Nicholas sent the chain letter to=50

The growth rate, r =99%=0.99

Period of Growth,k =12 Weeks

$P(t)=P_0(1+r)^{t/k}$

Therefore, in any week (t) after Nicholas initially sent the mail, the number of people who receive the email is modeled by the function:

$P(t)=50(1+0.99)^{t/12}\\P(t)=50(1.99)^{t/12}$

In 10 minutes, the top three finishers in a hot dog eating contest consumed a total of 130 hot dogs. the winner, person a, ate 8

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Let x be how many hot dogs person b ate

therefore, person a ate x+8 hotdogs
and person c ate x-10 hotdogs

they all ate 130 hotdogs in total so
x + x + 8 + x - 10 = 130
3x -2 = 130
3x = 132
x = 44

so person b ate 44 hotdogs
person a ate 8 more so 52 hotdogs
and person c ate 10 less than person b so 34 hotdogs

Answer:

x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

For values of x greater than or equal to 6, the difference x-6 is non-negative, so the absolute value function does nothing. The value is ...

How to make a graph of an exponential function that shows exponential decay and has a y intercept of 2

Sliva [168]

Answer:

$f(x)=2e^{-kx}$

in a graph the x value at the y intercept is 0

$f(x)=Ae^{-kx}$ is a typical decay function

if x = 0 thus $e^{-kx}$ = 1

so at 0 the function value would be A

$f(x)=2e^{-kx}$

The height, h, in feet of a ball above the ground is given by h = −16t2 + 64t + 80, where t is the time in seconds. How long doe

Gwar [14]

Answer:

t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the height h, in feet of a ball above the ground is given by :

$h=-16t^2+64t+80$

Where t is in seconds

We need to find how long does it take the ball to hit the ground? When it hits the ground, its height will be equal to 0. So,

$-16t^2+64t+80=0\\\\t=\dfrac{-64\pm \sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16}\\\\t=\dfrac{-64+ \sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16},\dfrac{-64-\sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16}\\\\t=-1\ s\ \text{and}\ t=5\ s$

Neglecting negative time.

It means ball will take 5 seconds to hit the ground.
