In the United States, there were approximately 1,664 ride-related injuries in fixed-site amusement parks in 2007, compared to 1,

797 in 2006. Use an exponential function to determine the ride related injuries in 2016, and discuss the reasonableness of the result.
771; exponential models are useful short-term, but not long-term: not reasonable.

833: reasonable

833; exponential models are useful short-term, but not long-term: not reasonable.

The decrease in injuries from 2006 and 2007 is a reduction factor of about 7.4%. If we use this factor to predict the number of injuries in 2016, we get 0.926¹⁰=0.463 approx as a reduction factor to be applied to the 2006 data. So 0.463×1797=833 approx. Is this reasonable? I don’t think so because the prediction is based on too few figures. 10 years is fairly long term compared to the short term of a year between 2006 and 2007. To be reasonable data is needed for other years. So answer 3 seems the best answer.

A contractor purchases 7 dozen pairs of padded work gloves for $103.32. He incorrectly calculates the unit price at $14.76 per p
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct unit price would be $1.23.

The contractor divided 103.32 by 7, resulting in an error.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know a dozen equals 12, then 7 dozen looks like:

7(12)

Multiply.

84

Now we know the contractor purchases 84 pairs of padded work gloves.

Let's find our unit price:

<em>unit price =</em> \frac{cost}{units}

Substitute.

<em>unit price = </em>\frac{103.32}{84}

Divide.

<em>unit price = </em>1.23<em />

<em>__</em>

To find the error of the contractor, let's try substituting in a number (7) provided in the question to see if we get $14.76 per pair:

\frac{103.32}{7}

Divide.

14.76

A theorem in geometry states that the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The first option is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question  the slope  AC is evaluated as

            m_1 =  \frac{b-0}{a- (-c)}

            m_1 =  \frac{b}{a+c}

And  the slope of line  CB is mathematically evaluated as

        m_2 =  \frac{0-b}{c-a}

        m_2 =  \frac{b}{c-a}

Now for lines that are perpendicular to each other then the product of their slope should be equal to  -1

So if  m ZC = 90^o

Then

     m_ *m_2 = -1

i,e  

      [\frac{b}{a+ c} ] [\frac{b}{a-c} ] = -1
