A corn field has an area of 80,000 square feet. A new parasite has caused the area of the corn field to decrease by one-fourth e

ach month. Which equation can be solved to determine the number of months, t, when the area of the corn field is 33,750 square feet, and how long will it take?

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

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

1 gallon is equal to 30 miles, which would mean if she uses 30 gallons of gas it would be equal to 60 since 3 x 20 equals 60

Square of 9 less than a number is 3 less than the number
ale4655 [162]

Answer:Let the number be x, then (x - 9)^2 = x - 3

x^2 - 18x + 81 = x - 3

x^2 - 19x + 84 = 0

(x - 12)(x - 7) = 0

x = 12 or 7
