3/4 of a meter in decimal form is 0.75m

1/3 of a meter in decimal form is 0.33m

 Only two whole pieces measuring 0.33 can be cut from the ribbon since

0.33 + 0.33 = 0.66 (which is 0.09 less than 0.75) 

therefore any other piece will measure  0.75 - 0.66 = 0.09

For simplicity we can multiply by 100 to convert meters to cm, so

0.75 * 100 = 75cm,  0.33 * 100 = 33cm,  0.66 * 100 = 66 cm,  0.09  * 100 = 9cm.

So  two ribbons each 33cm long, totaling 66cm ,can be cut from the 75cm ribbon and only 9cm of the ribbon will be left.

The population for Gulch Dry has been declining according to the function P(t)= 8000. 2^-t/29 where t is the number of years sin
Iteru [2.4K]
A)

\bf 1990-1910=80\leftarrow t&#10;\\\\\\&#10;P(t)=8000(2)^{-\frac{t}{29}}\implies P(80)=8000(2)^{-\frac{80}{29}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;P(80)=8000\cdot \cfrac{1}{2^{\frac{80}{29}}}\implies P(80)=\cfrac{8000}{\sqrt[29]{2^{80}}}

and surely you know how much  that is.

b)

\bf P(t)=125\\\\\\  125=8000(2)^{-\frac{t}{29}}\implies \cfrac{125}{8000}=2^{-\frac{t}{29}}\implies \cfrac{1}{64}=2^{-\frac{t}{29}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{now we take log to both sides}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;log\left( \frac{1}{64} \right)=log\left( 2^{-\frac{t}{29}} \right)\implies log\left( \frac{1}{64} \right)=-\frac{t}{29}log\left( 2 \right)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;log\left( \cfrac{1}{64} \right)=-\cfrac{tlog(2)}{29}\implies \cfrac{-29log\left( \frac{1}{64} \right)}{log(2)}=t\implies 174=t

since in 1910 t = 0, 174 years later from 1910, is 2084, so in 2084 they'll be 125 exactly, so the next year, 2085, will then be the first year they'd fall under that.
