A function that gives the amount that the plant earns per man-hour t years after it opens is \mathrm{A}(\mathrm{t})=80 \times 1.05^{\mathrm{t}}

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that  

A manufacturing plant earned $80 per man-hour of labor when it opened.

Each year, the plant earns an additional 5% per man-hour.

Need to write a function that gives the amount A(t) that the plant earns per man-hour t years after it opens.  

Amount earned by plant when it is opened = $80 per man-hour

As it is given that each year, the plants earns an additional of 5% per man hour

So Amount earned by plant after one year = $80 + 5% of $80 = 80 ( 1 + 0.05) = (80 x 1.05)

Amount earned by plant after two years is given as:

=(80 \times 1.05)+5 \% \text { of }(80 \times 1.05)=(80 \times 1.05)(1.05)=80 \times 1.052

Similarly Amount earned by plant after three years =80 \times 1.05^{t}

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow \text { Amount earned by plant after } t \text { years }=80 \times 1.05^{t}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \text { Required function } \mathrm{A}(t)=80 \times 1.05^{t}}\end{array}

Hence a function that gives the amount that the plant earns per man-hour t years after it opens is \mathrm{A}(t)=80 \times 1.05^{t}

What percent of discount should be given in a doll costing Rs 180
wolverine [178]

Answer:

11.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question is:

$180 * (x)% = $y

Therefore $180 - $y = $160

Now:

180 - 160 = 20

Therefore; $20 is the discount

Now per cent of discount:

20/180 * 100 = 11.111111111111111111111%

therefore: per cent of discount is 11.11% (rounded to two decimal place)

Is this correct question correct?
____ [38]

No, it is not correct.

First of all, you put the little 4 after the 8.

What you did in the equation is 8x4, not 8x8x8x8.

So, the correct answer to 8x8x8x8 would be 4096.

7x-2=5x+14<br> X=?<br> (step by step needed)
prisoha [69]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

  • 7x-2-5x=5x+14-5x
  • 2x-2=14  

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

  • 2x-2+2=14+2
  • 2x=16

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

  • 2x/2=16/2
  • x=8

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

  • 7(8)-2=5(8)+14
  • 56-2=40+14
  • 54=54

Therefore, x = 8.
