Starting in the year 2012, the number of speeding tickets issued each year in Middletown is predicted to grow according to an ex

ponential growth model. During the year 2012, Middletown issued 200 speeding tickets ( P 0 = 200 ). Every year thereafter, the number of speeding tickets issued is predicted to grow by 15%. If P n denotes the predicted number of speeding tickets during the year 2012 + n , then Write the recursive formula for P n P n = × P n − 1 Write the explicit formula for P n P n = If this trend continues, how many speeding tickets are predicted to be issued in 2025?

Answer:

Recursive formula:

P_{n} = (1.15)P_{n-1}

P(0) = 200

1070 speeding tickets are predicted to be issued in 2025

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of speeding tickets in an year, in function of the number in the previous year, can be given by the following formula:

P_{n} = (1+r)P_{n-1}

In which P_{n-1} is the number of tickets issued in the previous year and r is the rate the number of tickets increase.

Every year thereafter, the number of speeding tickets issued is predicted to grow by 15%

So r = 0.15 and

P_{n} = (1.15)P_{n-1}

During the year 2012, Middletown issued 200 speeding

So P(0) = 200.

Then the recursive formula is:

P_{n} = (1.15)P_{n-1}

P(0) = 200

Write the explicit formula for P n P n = If this trend continues, how many speeding tickets are predicted to be issued in 2025?

2025 is 13 years after 2012.

So this is P(12).

We can expend the equation in the following format

P(12) = (1.15)^{12}P(0) = (1.15)^{12}*200 = 1070

1070 speeding tickets are predicted to be issued in 2025

Step-by-step explanation:

=  \frac{2 \sqrt{2}   -  \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{2} +  \sqrt{3}  }

=  \frac{2 \sqrt{2} -  \sqrt{3}  }{ \sqrt{2} +  \sqrt{3}  }  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{2} -  \sqrt{3}  }{ \sqrt{2} -  \sqrt{3}  }

= \frac{ 2( \sqrt{2}  -  \sqrt{3} )( \sqrt{2}  -  \sqrt{3} )}{ { \sqrt{2} }^{2} -  { \sqrt{3} }^{2}  }

=  \frac{2(2 -  \sqrt{6}  -  \sqrt{6} - 3) }{2 - 3}

=  \frac{2( - 1 - 2 \sqrt{6} )}{ - 1}

=  \frac{ - 2(1 + 2 \sqrt{6} )}{ - 1}

= 2(1 + 2 \sqrt{6} )

= 2 + 4 \sqrt{6}

This recipe makes a cake big enough to serve 4 people.
nignag [31]

Answer:

He can make a cake that serves 24 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gareth has 13 eggs, but only 2 are needed for 4 servings. 13 divided by 2 equals 6.5. We can't serve half of a person, so there will be a large cake equivalent to the size of 6 small cakes. Since 1 small cake serves 4 people, and Gareth's large cake is 6 times the size of a small cake, Gareth's cake can serve a total of 24 people. Now that is one big cake!

The football team need to buy Gatorade for Saturdays big game . They have two option. The first option us they can buy it pre-ma
VashaNatasha [74]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

The football team needed to buy Gatorade for Saturday's big game. They have two options. The first option is they can buy it pre-made in 48 ounces bottles for $3.84 for each bottle. Or they can buy packets and mix with water. Each packet makes 64 ounces and will cost $4.80.

a) Find the cost per ounce of each.

b) Which size costs less?

c) The team will need to buy 192 ounces of Gatorade. How much do you save using the choice from answer b?

Answer: a) Pre-made: $0.08 cost per ounce; Packet: $0.075 cost per ounce

              b) Packets

              c) Save $0.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Cost per ounce:

<u>Pre-made:</u>

\frac{3.84}{48} = 0.08

<u>Packet:</u>

<u />\frac{4.8}{64} = 0.075

b) Comparing costs per ounce, packets costs less than pre-made.

c) Buying packets, the cost will be:

0.075*192 = $14.4

Buying pre-made:

0.08*192 = $15.36

Comparing costs, pre-made is 0.96 more than packets, so <u>they will save </u><u>96 cents</u>.
