Temka [501]3 years ago

Answer:

The exponential function is that of decay

The percentage decrease is by 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation we are considering is;

y = 550(0.97)^x

Now to know if it’s decay or growth, we shall be considering what we have in the bracket

Mathematically, we can express 0.97 as follows

0.97 = 1-0.03

So what does this means? There is a decrease in subsequent values from one value of y to another.

This means that the equation is for decay as what the term raised to an exponent is less than 1.

Now we want to determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease

What we need to do is to represent the 0.03 difference in fraction

That would be 3/100

So this means that the percentage decrease is by 3%

A filter filled with liquid is in the shape of a vertex-down cone with a height of 9 inches and a diameter of 6 inches at its op
Alina [70]

Answer: Level of the liquid dropping at 28.28 inch/second when the liquid is 2 inches deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height = 9 inches

Diameter = 6 inches

Radius = 3 inches

So, \dfrac{r}{h}=\dfrac{3}{9}=\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\r=\dfrac{1}{3}h

Volume of cone is given by

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi \dfrac{1}{9}h^2\times h\\\\V=\dfrac{1}{27}\pi h^3

By differentiating with respect to time t, we get that

\dfrac{dv}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{27}\pi \times 3\times h^2\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{9}\pi h^2\dfrac{dh}{dt}

Now,  the liquid drips out the bottom of the filter at the constant rate of 4 cubic inches per second, ie \dfrac{dv}{dt}=-4\ in^3

and h = 2 inches deep.

-4=\dfrac{1}{9}\times \pi\times (2)^2\dfrac{dh}{dt}\\\\-9\pi =\dfrac{dh}{dt}\\\\-28.28=\dfrac{dh}{dt}

Hence, level of the liquid dropping at 28.28 inch/second when the liquid is 2 inches deep.

Find the value of y. Round your answers to the nearest tenth
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

y ≈ 4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{AB}{RS} = \frac{ED}{VU} , substitute values

\frac{6}{4} = \frac{8}{y+1} ( cross- multiply )

6(y + 1) = 32

6y + 6 = 32 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

6y = 26 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y ≈ 4.3 ( to the nearest tenth )

As a town gets smaller, the population of its high school decreases by 8% each year. The senior class has 320 students now. In h
Semmy [17]

Answer:

in 13.95 years the senior class will have 100 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(h) = p(0.92)^t (equation for exponential change)

P(h) - population of highschool (or senior class) = 100

p - staring amount = 320

t = time in years

100 = 320(0.92)^t

1/3.2 = .92^t (divide both sides by 320)

log(1/3.2, .92) = t (log base 0.92 of 1/3.2 equals t)

13.9497 = t
