The value of a family's home, in Camrose AB, is given by the following exponential function f(x), where x is the number of years

after the family purchases the house for $130,000. What is the best estimate for the instantaneous rate of change in the value of the home when the family has owned it for 5 years?

Answer:

<h2>$173,969</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the value of a family's home, in Camrose AB, given by the following exponential function f(x) = 130000(1.06)^x, where x is the number of years after the family purchases the house for $130,000. In order to calculate the best estimate for the instantaneous rate of change in the value of the home when the family has owned it for 5 years, we will have to substitute x =5 in the given function and solve as shown;

f(x) = 130000(1.06)ˣ

f(5) = 130000(1.06)⁵

f(5) = 130000*(1.06)⁵

f(5) = 130000*1.338226

f(5) = 173,969.38

Hence, the instantaneous rate of change in the value of the home when the family has owned it for 5 years is approximately  $173,969

The perimeter of the triangle is 13 inches. What is the length of the shortest side?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of all sides of ∆ = perimeter

Given that it has a perimeter of 13 in, and the following sides: (x - 5) in, x/2 in, and 6 in, therefore:

x - 5 + \frac{x}{2} + 6 = 13

Solve to find the value of x

\frac{2x - 10 + x + 12}{2} = 13

\frac{3x + 2}{2} = 13

Multiply both sides by 2

\frac{3x + 2}{2}*2 = 13*2

3x + 2 = 26

Subtract 2 from both sides

3x + 2 - 2 = 26 - 2

3x = 24

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{24}{3}

x = 8

The shortest side = (x - 5) in

Plug in the value of x

= (8 - 5) in

= 3 in

Hank has a bottle of diluted syrup that is 60% maple syrup and a bottle of pure syrup that is 100% maple syrup in his restaurant
Nezavi [6.7K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  62.5 oz of 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of ounces of pure syrup. Then (100-p) is the number of ounces of 60% syrup. The amount of maple syrup in the desired mix is ...

  p +0.60(100 -p) = 0.85(100)

  0.40p +60 = 85 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  0.40p = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 60

  p = 62.5 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.4

62.5 ounces of pure syrup should be mixed with the diluted syrup to make 100 ounces of 85% maple syrup.

_____

The other 37.5 ounces will be 60% syrup.

Of the last 20 balloons sold at a party store, 10 were blue. Considering this data, how many of the next 18 balloons sold would
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

9 blue balloons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following set up.

blue balloons/total balloons=blue balloons/total balloons

We know that 10 blue balloons were sold if 20 total balloons were sold. We don't know how many blue are are sold if 18 total are sold. Therefore, we can say x blue are sold for 18 total sold.

10 blue/20 total=x blue/18 total

10/20=x/18

We want to find out what x is. In order to do this, we have to get x by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.

x is being divided by 18. The opposite of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 18.

18*(10/20)=(x/18)*18

18*(10/20)=x

18*1/2=x

9=x

If 18 balloons are sold, 9 blue balloons would be expected to be sold.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x₁ = 0   ; y₁=0  &

x₂ = 1    ; y₂=2

Slope =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

         =\dfrac{2-0}{1-0}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2}{1}\\\\\\= 2

Slope = 2
