A quantity with an initial value of 6200 decays continuously at a rate of 5.5% per month. What is the value of the quantity afte

ELEN [110]

Answer:

410.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the initial quantity, Q= 6200

Decay rate, r = 5.5% per month

So, the value of quantity after 1 month, $q_1 = Q- r \times Q$

$q_1 = Q(1-r)\cdots(i)$

The value of quantity after 2 months, $q_2 = q_1- r \times q_1$

$q_2 = q_1(1-r)$

From equation (i)

$q_2=Q(1-r)(1-r) \\\\q_2=Q(1-r)^2\cdots(ii)$

The value of quantity after 3 months, $q_3 = q_2- r \times q_2$

$q_3 = q_2(1-r)$

From equation (ii)

$q_3=Q(1-r)^2(1-r)$

$q_3=Q(1-r)^3$

Similarly, the value of quantity after n months,

$q_n= Q(1- r)^n$

As 4 years = 48 months, so puttion n=48 to get the value of quantity after 4 years, we have,

$q_{48}=Q(1-r)^{48}$

Putting Q=6200 and r=5.5%=0.055, we have

$q_{48}=6200(1-0.055)^{48} \\\\q_{48}=410.32$

Hence, the value of quantity after 4 years is 410.32.

Graph f(x) =-2x^+16x-30 by factoring to find the solutions, then find the coordinates of the vertex, and the axis of symmetry. I

fredd [130]

Answer:

Observe attached image

Function zeros:

(3, 0), (5, 0)

Vertex:

(4, 2)

Axis of symmetry:

 $x =4$ 

Step-by-step explanation:

First factorize the function

$f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

Take -2 as a common factor.

$-2(x ^ 2 -8x +15)$

Now factor the expression $x ^ 2 -8x +15$

You must find two numbers that when you add them, obtain the result -8 and multiplying those numbers results in 15.

These numbers are -5 and -3

Then we can factor the expression in the following way:

$f (x) = -2(x-5)(x-3)$

The quadratic function cuts the x-axis at x = 3 and at x = 5.

Now we find the coordinates of the vertex.

For a function of the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c$ the x coordinate of its vertex is:

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

In the function $f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

$a = -2\\b = 16\\c = 30$

Then the vertice is:

$x = \frac{-16}{2(-2)}\\\\x = 4$

The y coordinate of the symmetry axis is

$y = f (4) = -2 (4) ^ 2 +16 (4) -30\\\\y = 2$

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that cuts the parabola in two equal halves. This axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex.

Then the axis of symmetry is the line

$x = 4$

The solutions and the vertice written as ordered pairs are:

Function zeros:

(3, 0), (5, 0)

Vertex:

(4, 2)
