ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The number of subscribers in 2008 is 110,845,988

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cell phone subscribers in Arlington, in t years after 1985, can be modeled by the following equation.

$N(t) = N(0)(1+r)^{t}$

And which N(0) is the number of subscribers in 1985 and r is the rate it increases per year, as a decimal.

In 1985, there were 285 cell phone subscribers in Arlington.

This means that $N(0) = 285$

The number of subscribers increased by 75% per year since 1985.

This means that $r = 0.75$

$N(t) = 285(1.75)^{t}$

Find the number of subscribers in 2008.

2008 is 2008-1985 = 23 years after 1985. So we have to find N(23).

$N(23) = 285(1.75)^{23} = 110,845,988$

The number of subscribers in 2008 is 110,845,988

mixer [17]

Answer:

6536 cubic in

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Split both the prisms apart- In doing so, you can simplify the problem.

2. Put in the #'s for the formula which in this case is V=L*W*H, we will start with the formula for the front one, V=7*8*1 or V=7*8

3. answer for the front is 56 cubic in, now we solve for the other half.

4. V=9*1*90 or V=9*90 which is 6480 cubic in.

5. add 6480 and 56 and your answer is 6536 cubic in as your answer.

Hope this helped ;D
