A certain model of car has been declining in popularity, and one automotive executive predicts that the sales of the vehicle wil

l decrease by 5% per year. If the
company sold 25,000 cars this year, about how many cars will the company sell 5 years from now?
The formula for this decline is shown by the function below where a is the initial amount, r is the rate of decrease expressed as a decimal, t is the time
elapsed, and y is the final amount.
y= a(1-r)^t

Answer:

  19,345

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting the given numbers into the given formula and doing the arithmetic, we have ...

  y = 25,000×(1 -0.05)^5 = 25,000×0.773781 ≈ 19,345

Sales in 5 years are estimated to be 19,345 cars.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the decline in the sales of the vehicle is shown by the function below

y= a(1-r)^t

where a is the initial amount,

r is the rate of decrease expressed as a decimal,

t is the time elapsed,

and y is the final amount.

If the company sold 25,000 cars this year, then the number of cars that the company will sell in 5 years from now would be

y = 25000 (1-0.05)^5

y = 25000 × 0.95^5 = 1$19344.

A good rule of thumb is to design the horizontal stabilizer so that its area is about 1/6 to 1/8 of the area of the wing. If the
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Stabilizer with area = 14 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the wing = 101.25 cm²

Rule of the thumb is that area of stabilizer must be about 1/6 to 1/8 of the area of wing. So, first we calculate 1/6 of the area of the wing and 1/8 of the area of the wing. Area of stabilizer must be in between these two numbers.

1/6 of the area of wing = \frac{1}{6} \times 101.25 = 16.875

1/8 of the area of wing = \frac{1}{8} \times 101.25 = 12.656

This means, the area of horizontal stabilizer must be in between 12.656 cm² and 16.875 cm². From the given options only one option lies in between these two numbers and that is 14 cm²

Therefore, area of a good stabilizer design from the given options would be 14 cm²

ABCD is a trapezoid with AD = 5 ft, DC = 7 ft, and AB = 15 ft. Find the area of the trapezoid. 30 ft2 33 ft2 44 ft2 55 ft2
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: 33 ft².


Step-by-step explanation:

1. As you can see in the figure attached, the trapezoid is formed by a rectangle and two equal right triangles. The base of each triangle is 4 feet and you know the lenght of the hypotenuse AD, therefore, you can calculate the height by applying the Pythagorean Theorem:

h=\sqrt{(5ft)^{2}-(4ft)^{2}}=3ft

2. Now, you can calculate the area with the following formula:

A=(\frac{B+b}{2})h

Where <em>B</em> is the longer base,<em> b</em> is the shorter base and <em>h</em> is the height.

Then:

A=(\frac{15ft+7ft}{2})(3ft)=33ft^{2}

Helga [31]

There are 82 boats in the navy. 48 of them are battleships and the rest are destroyers. What is the ratio of the number of destroyers to the number of battleships?​

Let

x -----> the number of destroyers

y ----> the number of battleships

the ratio is

x/y

we have

y=48

x=82-48=34

therefore

ratio=34/48

simplify

34/48=17/24

answer is 17/24 or 17:24
