When the town of Manning first started its voluntary recycling program, 2500 of the town's residence participated. The town pred

icts that the number of people participating in the recycling program will increase by 5% each year.
Which explicit rule can be used to determine the number of people participating in the program in the fifth year?

A. an=2500(0.05)^n

B. an=2500(1.05)^n-1

C. an=2500(0.05)^n-1

D. an=2500(1.05)^n

Answer: The correct answer is Choice D.

This is an example of an exponential equation. They are in the form of y=ab^x, where a is the starting value, b is the rate and x is the number of years.

Our data starts at 2500 and increases by 5%, or 100% + 5% = 1.05.

If you put them together, you have the equation y = 2500(1.05)^x, Choice D.

How do you do this question?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

z = -ln│5eᵗ + C│

Step-by-step explanation:

dz/dt + 5eᵗ⁺ᶻ = 0

dz/dt = -5eᵗ⁺ᶻ

dz/dt = -5eᵗeᶻ

-e⁻ᶻ dz = 5eᵗ dt

e⁻ᶻ = 5eᵗ + C

-z = ln│5eᵗ + C│

z = -ln│5eᵗ + C│

PLS HELP TIMED QUESTION!!!
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

About 5043.58

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for an exponential decay after t time is:

\displaystyle f(t)=a(r)^{t/d}

Where a is the initial value, r is the rate decay, t is the time that has passed, and d is the amount of time it takes for 1 cycle.

The initial value is 9800. So a = 9800.

The quantity cuts in half. So, r = 1/2.

And it cuts in half every 6 days. For this question, we will convert this to hours. 6 days = 144 hours. So, we can let d = 144, where t will be in hours.

Therefore, our function is:

\displaystyle f(t)=9800\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{t/144}

Where t is the amount of time that has passed, in hours.

Then the quantity left after 138 hours will be:

\displaystyle f(138)=9800\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{138/144}\approx 5043.58
