Answer: There are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial population = 570000

Rate at which population decreases is given by

\frac{2}{3}

Now,

First year =570000

Second year is given by

570000\times (\frac{1}{3})

Third year is given by

570000(\frac{1}{3})^2

so, there is common ratio ,

it becomes geometric progression, as there is exponential decline.

so,

570000,570000\times \frac{1}{3},570000\times( \frac{1}{3})^2,......,570000\times (\frac{1}{3})^6

a=570000

common ratio is given by

r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{1}{3}

number of terms = 6

Sum of terms will be given by

S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{(1-r)}

We'll put this value in this formula,

S_6=\frac{570000(1-(\frac{1}{3})^6}{(1-\frac{1}{3})}\\\\=853827.16

So, there are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.

Answer:

The maximum height of the volleyball is 12.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the volleyball, h(t), is modeled by this equation, where t represents the  time, in seconds, after that ball was set :

h(t)=-16t^2+20t+6 ....(1)

The volleyball reaches its maximum height after 0.625 seconds.

For maximum height,

Put \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0

Now put t = 0.625 in equation (1)

h(t)=-16(0.625)^2+20(0.625)+6\\\\h(t)=12.25\ \text{feet}

So, the maximum height of the volleyball is 12.25 feet.

Adam’s sister wants to watch her intake of fat per day. He estimates that the dinner will have 48 grams of fat. What percentage
navik [9.2K]
First things to take note of to have the correct answer: 
1. Adam's sister is obviously a girl. Then when looking at the data we look at the "Women" column. 
2. We are only looking at the fats data. 

We are asked for the percentage given 48 grams of fat and the daily allowance on fat for women is 70 g. To solve we perform the operation: 

% =  \frac{70-48}{70} * 100 = 31.42% ≈ 31%

Answer:

Simplifying

5x + x = 54

Combine like terms: 5x + x = 6x

6x = 54

Solving

6x = 54

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '6'.

x = 9

Simplifying

x = 9
