Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
11.04 = 10(1.02)^n
1.104 = 1.02^n
ln 1.104 = ln 1.02^n
ln 1.104 = n ln 1.02
n = ln 1.104/ ln 1.02
n = 4.99630409516
4.99 can be rounded to 5.
So a reasonable domain would be 0 ≤ x < 5
PART B)
f(0) = 10(1.02)^0
f(0) = 10(1)
f(0) = 10
The y-intercept represents the height of the plant when they began the experiment.
f(1) = 10(1.02)^1
f(1) = 10(1.02)
f(1) = 10.2
(1, 10.2)
f(5) = 10(1.02)^5
f(5) = 10(1.1040808)
f(5) = 11.040808
f(1)=10(1.02)^1
f(1)=10.2
Average rate= (fn2-fn1)/(n2-n1)
=11.04-10.2/(5-1)
=0.22
the average rate of change of the function f(n) from n = 1 to n = 5 is 0.22.
Answer:
B) 8 and 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just by looking at the answer choices, since one number must be three times the other, we can determine that the correct answer is B.
Regardless, let's work this out mathematically. Let the first number be <em>a</em> and the second number be <em>b</em>.
Their difference is 16. Hence:
The first number is three times the second number. So:
Substitute:
Solve for <em>b</em>. Subtract:
And divide both sides by two:
So, the second number is 8.
And since the first number is three times the second, the first number is 24.
Our answer is B as expected.
Answer: the old price for 1 liter is $0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the old price for 1 liter of petrol.
Last week a man bought 20 liters at the old price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 20 liters is 20x.
The cost of petrol rises by 2 cents a liter. This means that the new price per liter is x + 2/100 = x + 0.02
This week he bought 10 liters at the new price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 10 liters is
10(x + 0.02)
= 10x + 0.2
Altogether, the petrol costs $9.20. This means that
20x + 10x + 0.2 = 9.2
30x + 0.2 = 9.2
30x = 9.2 - 0.2
30x = 9
x = 9/30
x = 0.3
8 US gallons = 30.28329 Liters
