A huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 454545 square kilometers. Because of changing weather patterns,

this glacier begins to melt, and the area it covers begins to decrease exponentially.
The relationship between AAA, the area of the glacier in square kilometers, and ttt, the number of years the glacier has been melting, is modeled by the following equation.
A=45e^{-0.05t}A=45e
−0.05t
A, equals, 45, e, start superscript, minus, 0, point, 05, t, end superscript
How many years will it take for the area of the glacier to decrease to 151515 square kilometers?

We have been given that a huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 45 square kilo-meters. The relationship between A, the area of the glacier in square kilo-meters, and t, the number of years the glacier has been melting, is modeled by the equation A=45e^{-0.05t}.

To find the time it will take for the area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters, we will equate A=15 and solve for t as:

15=45e^{-0.05t}

\frac{15}{45}=\frac{45e^{-0.05t}}{45}

\frac{1}{3}=e^{-0.05t}

Now we will switch sides:

e^{-0.05t}=\frac{1}{3}

Let us take natural log on both sides of equation.

\text{ln}(e^{-0.05t})=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})

Using natural log property \text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a), we will get:

-0.05t\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})

-0.05t\cdot (1)=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})

-0.05t=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})

t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})}{-0.05}

t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 100}{-0.05\cdot 100}

t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 100}{-5}

t=-\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 20

t=-(\text{ln}(1)-\text{ln}(3))\cdot 20

t=-(0-\text{ln}(3))\cdot 20

t=20\text{ln}(3)

Therefore, it will take 20\text{ln}(3) years for area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters.

The number of teams who entered in a 3-on-3 charity basketball tournament can be modeled by function T, where x is the number of
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

<u>Option A:</u>

R(x)=20x^2+300x+1080

Explanation:

The revenue, R(x) is the product of the number of teams who entered the tournament, T(x), times the entry fee paid by each team, F(x); then you can write:

  • R(x)=T(x)\times F(x)

Thus you must multiply the two functions (polynomials):

  • R(x)=(4x+24)\times (5x+45)

Use distributive property:

R(x)=(4x+24)\times (5x+45)=(4x)(5x)+(4x)(45)+(24)(5x)+(24)(45)

Simplify:

R(x)=(4x)(5x)+(4x)(45)+(24)(5x)+(24)(45)=20x^2+180x+120x+1080

Add like terms:

R(x)=20x^2+180x+120x+1080=20x^2+300x+1080
