Answer:

rate\ of\ increase = 28.8\ billion\ dollars\ per\ year

model: y = 28.8(t-2003) + 2

profit in year 2017: y =  405.2\ billion\ dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales increased from 2 billion dollars to 146 billion dollars in five years, so to find the increase in billion dollars per year, we just need to divide the increase by the amount of time:

rate\ of\ increase = (146 - 2)/5 = 144 / 5 = 28.8\ billion\ dollars\ per\ year

To construct a model for these sales, we can use the year 2003 as the initial point of a linear equation:

y = ax + b

the variable y will represent the profit in billion dollars, the variable x will represent our time, so we can use (t - 2003) in its place to represent the number of years since 2003 (t is the year we want to calculate), the constant 'a' will be our rate of 28.8, and the constant 'b' is the inicial value for the year 2003, that is, 2 (billions). So we have:

y = 28.8(t-2003) + 2

In the year 2017, we would have:

y = 28.8(2017-2003) + 2

y = 28.8*14 + 2

y =  405.2\ billion\ dollars

What is the volume of this cone?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Option A 41.9\ ft^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cone is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h

In this problem we have

r=4/2=2\ ft, h=10\ ft

substitute the values

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (2)^{2}(10)

V=41.9\ ft^{3}

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:I think the answer is 6x because

18= 6x3

42= 6x7

30= 6x5

Step-by-step explanation:

18= 6x3

42= 6x7

30= 6x5 And 6x(3x+7x^3+5x^4) it became 18x^2+42x^4+30x^5

Area of a rectangle=length x width


You have two rectangles:


First rectangle (the biggest):
length=9 yd
width=12 yd-6 yd=6 yd

Area of the biggest rectangle=(9 yd)(6 yd)=54 yd²

Second rectangle (the smallest)
length=6 yd
width=3 yd

Area of the smallest rectangle=(6 yd)(3 yd)=18 yd²

Area of the ballroom=area of the biggest rectangle + area of the smallest rectangle.

area of the ballroom=54 yd² +18 yd²=72 yd²
