Answer:

  • k = 0.032
  • P0 = 131.836

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you want to use the points (t, P) = (4, 150) and (6, 160) to find the parameters P0 and k in the equation ...

  P(t)=P_0\cdot e^{kt}

We know from the given points that we can write the equation as ...

  P(t)=150\left(\dfrac{160}{150}\right)^{(t-4)/(6-4)}=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{\frac{t}{2}-2}\\\\=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{-2}\times\left(\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^t

Comparing this to the desired form, we see that ...

  P_0=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{-2}\approx 131.836\\\\e^{k}=\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{1/2}\rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2}(\ln{16}-\ln{15})\approx 0.0322693

So, the approximate equation for P is ...

  P(t)=131.836\cdote^{0.032t}

And the parameters of interest are ...

  • k = 0.032
  • P0 = 131.836

If g(x) is a translation of f (x) =x^2 right by 5 units and down 3 units which is g(x) ? Please help me ASAP
Contact [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) then f(x + h) represents a horizontal translation of f(x)

• If h > 0 then a shift to the left of h units

• If h < 0 then a shift to the right of h units

Here the shift is 5 units right, thus g(x) = (x - 5)²

Given f(x) then f(x) + c represents a vertical translation of f(x)

• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units

• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units

Here the shift is 3 units down, thus g(x) = f(x) - 3

Hence

g(x) = (x - 5)² - 3 → C

A notebook has a perimeter of 36 inches. It’s area is 80 square inches. What are the dimensions of the notebook
earnstyle [38]
Let's call he width of the notebook w and the length l

w*l=80

2(w+l)=36
w+l=18
w=18-l

(18-l)*l=80
-l^2+18*l-80=0
l=8 or 10

Therefore, the notebook is 8 by 10 inches

A triangle has sides which are consecutive odd integers and an
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Perimeter = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the length of each of the 3 sides of the triangle are consecutive odd integers.

Thus means that we can write the 3 terms as;

(x - 2), x, (x + 2)

Thus, perimeter is;

P = (x - 2) + x + (x + 2)

P = 3x

If an angle is 120°, it means that the corresponding side that is directly opposite the angle is the largest side of the triangle.

Thus, this side is (x + 2)

Using cosine rule, we have;

(x + 2)² = x² + (x - 2)² - 2(x(x - 2))cos 120

Expanding, we have;

x² + 4x + 4 = x² + x² - 4x + 4 - (2x² + 4x)(-½)

This reduces to;

4x = x² - 4x + x² - 2x

2x² = 10x

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

Thus, other sides are;

(x - 2) = 5 - 2 = 3

And (x + 2) = 5 + 2 = 7

So,perimeter is;

P = 3x = 3 × 5 = 15
