Scientists have discovered a vaccine for a debilitating disease. This year there were 570,000 reported new cases of the disease

in the United States. Research indicates, that with the new vaccination, new cases will decrease by two-thirds each year.
How many new cases do you estimate in 6 years?

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.

Fine the measure of the angle formed by the radius and the side of a regular dodecagon.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Option D.75°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sum of the interior angles of a regular dodecagon is equal to

S=(n-2)*180

where

n is the number of sides

In this problem

n=12 sides

substitute

S=(12-2)*180

S=1,800\°

Find the measure of each interior angle

Divide the sum of the interior angles by the number of sides

1,800\°/12=150\°

The measure of the angle formed by the radius and the side of a regular dodecagon is half the measure of the interior angle

therefore

150\°/2=75\°

What is negative 7 minus negative 4
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

-7-(-4)= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a negative number from a negative number – a minus sign followed by a negative sign, turns the two signs into a plus sign. So, instead of subtracting a negative, you are adding a positive.

Look at the following number sequence. 3, 7, 11, 15, . . . Based on the pattern, what are the next two terms?
viva [34]
So, if we look at the number pattern, we can see the numbers go up by 4.

The rule is Add 4.

So, to find the next two terms, we would add 4 to the last number shown, which is 15.

15 + 4 = 19

19 + 4 = 23

So, the next two terms are →19←
 and →23←.

Glad I could help, and good luck!
