Answer:

420 miles in 2 hours.

If it where to fly for 13 hours then you divide 420 by 2 which is 210. Multiply 210 by 13.

=2730 miles.

The rate of speed would be 420 divided by 2. This would equal 210 miles per hour.

Answer:

The jet could fly 2730 miles in 13 hours. The rate of speed of the jet is 210 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

420/2=x/13

simplify 420/2 into 210

x/13=210

x=210*13

x=2730

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the original price is x and you deduct 3, you'l have x - 3.

If you buy 4 of them, you multiply that price by 4, giving you 4(x - 3).

Then, if that value is equal to 27, you get 4(x - 3) = 27

Granite counter tops cost $40 for every square foot. The base pay to install the counter top is $750. Set up a Linear Model repr

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

31.5 square feet of counter top

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the number of square feet

40x + 750 = 2010 subtract 750 from both sides

40x = 1260 divide both sides by 40

x = 31.5

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.
