Toxic Pollution: In the first year of a study, health officials discovered toxic pollutants in the soil surrounding a factory. T

he initial measurement was 65 parts per million (ppm) of pollutant. They returned to take similar measurements for several years afterward, and uncovered a disturbing trend. The pollutant levels in the soil surrounding the factory were growing exponentially, at a rate of 4.5% each year. Which exponential model predicts the amount of pollutant in the soil t years from the first measurement?

Answer:

The model for the pollutant levels in the soil t years from the first measurement is:

Y(t)=65e^{0.044}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a first measurement of 65 parts per million (ppm) of pollutant.

We also know that the pollutant levels were growing exponentially at a rate of 4.5% a year.

We can model this as:

Y(t)=Y_0e^{kt}

The value of Y0 is the first measurement, that correspond to t=0.

Y_0=65

The ratio for the pollutant levels for two consecutive years is 1+0.045=1.045. This can be expressed as the division between Y(t+1) and Y(t), and gives us this equation:

\dfrac{Y(t+1)}{Y(t)}=\dfrac{Y_0e^{k(t+1)}}{Y_0e^{kt}} =\dfrac{e^{k(t+1)}}{e^{kt}}=e^{k(t+1-t)}=e^k=1.045\\\\\\k=ln(1.045)\approx 0.044

Then, we have the model for the pollutant levels in the soil t years from the first measurement:

Y(t)=65e^{0.044}

Advocard [28]

We have been given that Susan has a 12-inch board for constructing a wooden chair.The directions say to use a board that is 29 centimeters long. We are asked to determine if Susan's board is long enough to cut or not.

We know that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm.

Let us convert 12 inches into cm by multiplying 12 by 2.54.

12\text{ inches}=12\times 2.54\text{ cm}

12\text{ inches}=30.48\text{ cm}

Since 12 inches is equal to 30.48 centimeters and 30.48 is greater than 29, therefore, Susan's board in long enough to cut.

How does the slope of g(x) compare to the slope of f(x)?
Maru [420]

Answer:

The answer is 'The slope of g(x) is less than the slope of f(x)'  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graphs of f(x) and g(x). we have to compare the slops of these two.

The graph of f(x) passes through the points (1,0) and (2,2)

∴ \text{The slope of f(x)=}\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{2-0}{2-1}=2

The graph of g(x) passes through the points (0,2) and (2,3)

∴ \text{The slope of g(x)=}\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{3-2}{2-0}=\frac{1}{2}

As \frac{1}{2}

This shows that the

The slope of g(x) is less than the slope of f(x).
