Answer:

y = 650·0.922^t

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of each year, 92.2% of the amount at the beginning of the year remains. That is, the beginning amount is multiplied by 0.922. The exponent t in 0.922^t tells how many times (years) that multiplication has taken place. At the end of t years, the amount remaining in milligrams (y) is ...

y = 650·0.922^t

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Susan plans to use 120 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular area for a garden. Which equation best mode
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Area = 60x - x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Perimeter = 120

Side\ 1 = x

Required

The area of the garden

First, we calculate the length of the other side using:

Perimeter = 2 *(Side\ 1 + Side\ 2)

This gives:

120 = 2 *(x + Side\ 2)

Divide both sides by 2

60 = x + Side\ 2

Make Side 2 the subject

Side\ 2 = 60 - x

So, the area of the garden is:

Area = Side\ 1 * Side\ 2

Area = x * (60 - x)

Expand

Area = 60x - x^2
