22. Use your model to determine when the volume of oil will get down to 500 gallons.
1 answer:
Answer:
21. y = 75000·0.935^t
22. after 74.6 days
23. y = 27.8112·1.18832^t
24. 18.8% per month
25. 1748
Step-by-step explanation:
22. It is convenient to use the graphing calculator to solve this problem. The number of days is where the exponential curve has the value 500. It is about 74.55 days. (see the first attachment)
__
23. y = 27.8112·1.18832^t (see the second attachment)
__
24. The rate of change is the difference between the base of the exponential and 1, often expressed as a percentage. The time period is the units of t.
(1.18832 -1) × 100% ≈ 18.8% . . . . per month
__
25. Evaluating the function for t=24 gives y ≈ 1748.30425259 ≈ 1748.

Answer:
20 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale is 3 inches is to 2 feet
As a ratio, it would be:
The question is what is the actual length of the stage if the drawing is 30 inches. All we need to do is find a ratio proportional to the scale ratio:
Now to find the missing number, cross multiply the fractions first:
Then solve for x:
The answer is 20 feet
