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}

0.24 times 0.4<br> Equals
Komok [63]

That would be 0.24(0.4). First, estimate the result: 0.24 is about 1/4, and (1/4)(0.4) is about 0.1.

0.24(0.4) = 0.096 (which agrees with the estimated answer, 0.1).

Fiona is pricing two bicycles one is 175 with 10% and the other is 225 with 35% off which bicycle can she afford if she has 150
Gekata [30.6K]
If the one for $175 is 10% off, that means Fiana pays 90% of the price

175 * 0.9 = $157.50

It is too expensive because 157.50 is more than the 150 Fiana has.

The second bike for $225 is 35% off which means Fiana pays 65% of the price.

225 * 0.65 = $146.25

She CAN afford the bike for $225

Explanation:

Let the equation be

a

⋅

x

2

+

b

⋅

x

+

c

. To factorize multiplication of a and c i.e. ac so that sum of factors, if ac is positive (and difference if ac is negative) is equal to b. Now split b into these two components and factorization will be easy.
