Answer:

A. 33750 = 80000×(\frac{3}{4})^{t}

B. time taken = 3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the corn field is 80000 square feet. A new parasite decreases the size of corn field by one fourth every month.

After one month remaining area of the corn field = 1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4} area of the field.

Area decreases exponentially  every month so the decrease after time t will be = (total area)×((\frac{3}{4})^{t}

= (80000)×((\frac{3}{4})^{t}

This decrease in time t is equal to 33750 feet².

Therefore the equation will be 33750 = 80000×(\frac{3}{4})^{t}

By solving this equation we can find the time taken.

By taking log on both sides

log(33750)=log(80000)(\frac{3}{4})^{t}

4.528 = log(80000) + tlog(0.75)

4.528 = 4.903 + t(-0.125)

4.528 - 4.903 = -t(0.125)

-0.375 = -(0.125)t

t = \frac{0.375}{0.125}=3

Therefore it will take 3 months.

1/4 = 25% so the field would be 75% as much each month

 the equation would be something like:  80000*0.75^x 
 You didn't list the choices....

solve for time: 33750 = 80000*0.75^t
                        0.4219 = 0.75^t
                       
t = log(0.4219) / log(0.75)
 time = 3 months

Find the slope of the line y = –7 2 x − 5 8 . Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or inte
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Slope = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a line is expressed as y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept

Given the equation y = -7/2 x - 5/8

Compare with the general equation

mx = -7/2x

Divide both sides by x

mx/x = -7x/2x

m = -7/2

Hence the slope of the line is -7/2

A bag contains 100 apples, 100 bananas, 100 oranges, and 100 pears. If I pick one piece of fruit out of the bag every minute, ho
k0ka [10]

Answer:

required time is here 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

apples = 100

bananas = 100

oranges = 100

pears = 100

solution

we have here 4 different kind of fruit

so that it is possible for each kind of fruit is

each kind of fruit is = 4 × 11  = 44

so each kind contain 11  fruit

as that 45th fruit make a dozen

now 1 fruit is pick every minute

'so we take here 45 minute to pick up 45 fruit

so that required time is here 45 minutes
