Answer:

  35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion p that remains after y years is ...

  p = (1/2)^(y/5.27)

In order for 1/100 to remain (the level decays from 100 times to 1 times), we have ...

  .01 = .5^(y/5.27)

  log(0.01) = y/5.27·log(0.5) . . . take logs

  y = 5.27·log(0.01)/log(0.5) ≈ 35.01 ≈ 35 . . . . years

CENTRAL ANGLE: 
<span>There are 32 passenger cars, so you want an angle equal to 1/32 of the full circle. 
</span>
<span>The full circle in degrees is 360°, but you want radians. </span>
<span>The full circle in radians is 2π. </span>
<span>2π / 32 </span>
<span>= π/16 radians 
</span>
<span>ARC LENGTH </span>
<span>The arc length would be 1/32 of the full circumference. I know you already asked and got answers for the full circumference. Divide that by 32. 
</span>
<span>AREA OF SECTOR: </span>
<span>Ditto on this. You have the full area from a prior question. Now just divide it by 32</span>

If there are 5 terms in a quadratic sequence
exis [7]

Answer:

7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First differences:

0.8-0.2, 1.8-0.8, 3.2-1.8, 5.0-3.2

0.6, 1.0, 1.4, 1.8

Second differences:

1.0-0.6, 1.4-1.0, 1.8-1.4

0.4, 0.4, 0.4

For the next term, add 0.4 to the last term from the first differences, and add the sum to the last term of the quadratic sequence:

0.4+1.8=2.2

2.2+5.0=7.2

∴ The next term in the sequence is 7.2

A city that had 7500 thousand people at the beginning of the year 2000 has been decreasing by 3.6% per year. a. What is the 1-ye
storchak [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) if the population at the beginning of the year 2000 was 7500 people,

The 1-year percent change in the city's population would be

3.6/100 × 7500 = 270

b) The population after 1 year is

7500 - 270 = 7230

The percentage of the previous value of the population to its new value for each year is

7230/7500 × 100 = 96.4%

c) the 1-year growth factor for the population of the city would be

(1 - 0.036)^1 = 0.964

d) the function, g that determines the population of the city (in thousands of people) in terms of the number of years t since the beginning of 2000 would be

g = 7500(1 - 0.036)^t

g = 7500(0.964)^t
