Answer:

a. 73; b. 48.9; c. 2; d. 33.8; e. 73

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the function was

S(t)= 73 - 15 ln(t + 1), t  ≥ 0

a. Average score at t = 0

S(0) = 73 - 15 ln(0 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(1) = 73 - 15(0) =73 - 0 = 73

b. Average score at t = 4

S(4) = 73 - 15 ln(4 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(5) = 73 - 15(1.61) =73 - 24.14 = 48.9

c. Average score at t =24

S(24) = 73 - 15 ln(24 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(25) = 73 - 15(3.22) =73 - 48.28 = 24.7

d. Percent of answers retained

At t = 0. the students retained 73 % of the answers.

At t = 24, they retained 24.7 % of the answers.

\text{Percent retention} = \dfrac{\text{24.7}}{\text{73}} \times 100 \, \% = \text{33.8 \%}\\\\\text{The students retained $\large \boxed{\mathbf{33.8 \, \%}}$ of their original knowledge after two years.}

e. Maximum of the function

The maximum of the function is at t= 0.

Max = 73 %

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{5-\sqrt5}{4},\ x=\dfrac{5+\sqrt5}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The quadratic formula for}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{if}\ b^2-4ac

\text{We have the equation:}\ 4x^2-10x+5=0\\\\a=4,\ b=-10,\ c=5\\\\b^2-4ac=(-10)^2-4(4)(5)=100-80=20>0\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{20}}{2(4)}=\dfrac{10\pm\sqrt{4\cdot5}}{8}=\dfrac{10\pm\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt5}{8}=\dfrac{10\pm2\sqrt5}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{2(5\pm\sqrt5)}{8}=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt5}{4}

2x^2 + 8x = 0
2x(× + 4) = 0

2x = 0
x = 0/2 =0

x + 4 = 0
x = -4

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

<h3>2642km</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the map coordinates o a bird during travel from Vermont at cordinate (63,45) toto Venezuela at map coordinates (67,10). In order to know how far the bird has travelled, we need to find the distance between the two coordinates first using the formula;

D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Given x₁ = 63, y₁ = 45, x₂ = 67, y₂ = 10

D =\sqrt{(67-63)^2+(10-45)^2}\\ \\D = \sqrt{4^2+(-35)^2} \\\\D = \sqrt{16+1225} \\\\D = \sqrt{1241} \\\\D = 35.2278

If each map coordinate represents 75 kilometers, then the birds distance in km will be 75*35.2278 = 2642.087km

Hence the birds distance in km will be 2642km to the nearest kilometers
