Given:
Growth rate = 30% decrease
To find:
The growth factor associated with the given growth rate.
Solution:
The general exponential function is:
Where, a is the initial value, r is the growth rate in decimal and 
is the growth factor.
It is given that the growth rate is 30% decrease. So,
Now,
Therefore, the growth factor is 0.7.
Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Use trigonometric functions to find x
13. cos 40 = 5/x
x = 5 / cos 40
x = 5 / 0.766
x = 6.5
14. tan 25 = x/9
x = 9tan 25
x = 9(0.466)
x = 4.2
15.- cos 65 = x/12
x = 12 cos 65
x = 12 (0.423)
x = 5.1
16.- sin 32 = 15/x
x = 15 / sin 32
x = 15 / 0.53
x = 28.3
17.- tan 55 = 20 / x
x = 20 / tan 55
x = 20 / 1.42
x = 14
18.- sin31 = x / 18
x = 18 sin 31
x = 18 (0.52)
x = 9.3
We can solve this problem using discriminant.
x^2-4x-12's discriminant is
(-4)^2-4*-12=16+48 which is clearly larger than 0
This means that it crosses over the axes 2 times.
In case you don't know what discriminant is, its in equation ax^2+bx+c
the discriminant is b^2-4ac.
If its positive it has 2 crosses with x axis, if negative then 0 crosses, if 0 then 1 cross.
Hope this helped at least a little bit :D
If the baker made 5 pounds of icing and used 4/9 of the icing to make decorations, then he used:
5 * 4/9 =
= 20/9 =
= 2 2/9 [of icing]
To find out how much he has left over, we just need to substract 2 2/9 from 5:
5 - 2 2/9 =
= 3 - 2/9 =
= 2 7/9
Answer: The baker has <u>2 7/9</u> of the icing left.
Since 2000 lbs = 1 ton then 5 tons = 10,000 lbs. Then tak $8,200 ÷ 10,000 lb= $.82 per pound
