trisha started out with 40,000 miles on her car and drove exactly 800 miles a week. After how many weeks did she have 44,800 mil

Yuri [45]

Since she started out with 40,000 miles, you have to subtract that from 44,800 miles. you end up with 4,800 miles. you then divide 4,800 miles by 800 miles and you end up with 6 as your answer.

The image below shows where coal deposits are found in the United States. Explain how these coal deposits are energy sinks and c

Rudik [331]

Answer:

It is a little bit trivial:

As we know:

Energy sink: is anything that uses energy.

Energy source: is anything that produces energy.

How the caol deposits can be energy sinks? well, you want to extract the coal from those deposits, and to do it, you need to "use energy" (the type of energy can depend on the extraction method, for example, if you use a pickaxe to extract the coal, you are using mechanical energy)

These coals are potential energy sources because coal is an energy source, potential means that, given some circumstances, something can transform into other things.

So potential energy source in this situation means that those coal deposits can be potential energy when we extract the coal and use it as an energy source.

The current population of a town is 10,000 and its growth in years can be represented by P(t) = 10,000(0.2)^t, where t is the ti

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

1) 20%

2) Choice a.

Step-by-step explanation:

$P(t)=10000(0.2)^t$

1) $P(0)$ is the population initially.

$P(1)$ is the population after a year.

$\frac{P(1)}{P(0)}$ represents the population increase factor.

So let's evaluate that fraction:

$\frac{P(1)}{P(0)}$

$\frac{10000(0.2)^1}{10000(0.2)^0}$

$\frac{0.2^1}{0.2^0}=\frac{0.2}{1}=0.2$

0.2=20%

2) Let's figure out the population growth in terms of months instead of years.

$P(t)=10000(0.2)^{t}$

We want t to represent months.

A full year is 12 months, in a full year we have that $P(1)=10000(0.2)^1=10000(0.2)=2000$

So we want a new P such that $P(12)=2000$ since 12 months equals a year.

Let's look at the functions given to see which gives us this:

a) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12}=2000 \text{approximately}$

b) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12(12)}=0 \text{ approximately}$

c) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{\frac{1}{12}}=9889 \text{approximately}$

d) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12+12}=400 \text{approximately}$

So a is the function we want.

Also another way to look at this:

$P(t)=10000(.2)^t$ where $t$ is in years.

$P(t)=10000(.2^\frac{1}{12})^t$ where $t$ is in months.

And $.2^\frac{1}{12}=0.874485 \text{approximately}$

-3(5)^2-(-2)(-8) simplify

avanturin [10]

To do this, we're going to use the order of operations (PEMDAS):

P - Parentheses

E - Exponents

M - Multiplication

D - Division

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

First let's do parentheses, there isn't anythig in parentheses we need to simplify, so we can skip this step.

Next let's look for exponents. I see we have a $5^2$ so let's replace that with $5^2=25$ :

$-3(25)-(-2)(-8)$

Now let's look for multiplcation. We know that things that are right next to eachother in parentheses represent multiplcation, so let's simply this more:

$-3(25)=-75$

$(-2)(-8)=16$

$-75-16$

And now we're left with a simple problem we know how to solve.

Answer: $-91$

Hope this helps!
