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

First make a substitution and then use integration by parts to evaluate the integral. (Use C for the constant of integration.) x

Answer:

$(\frac{x^{2}-25}{2})ln(5+x)-\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{5x}{2}+C$

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we start by setting the integral up. The integral we need to solve is:

$\int x ln(5+x)dx$

so according to the instructions of the problem, we need to start by using some substitution. The substitution will be done as follows:

U=5+x

du=dx

x=U-5

so when substituting the integral will look like this:

$\int (U-5) ln(U)dU$

now we can go ahead and integrate by parts, remember the integration by parts formula looks like this:

$\int (pq')=pq-\int qp'$

so we must define p, q, p' and q':

p=ln U

$p'=\frac{1}{U}dU$

$q=\frac{U^{2}}{2}-5U$

q'=U-5

and now we plug these into the formula:

$\int (U-5)lnUdU=(\frac{U^{2}}{2}-5U)lnU-\int \frac{\frac{U^{2}}{2}-5U}{U}dU$

Which simplifies to:

$\int (U-5)lnUdU=(\frac{U^{2}}{2}-5U)lnU-\int (\frac{U}{2}-5)dU$

Which solves to:

$\int (U-5)lnUdU=(\frac{U^{2}}{2}-5U)lnU-\frac{U^{2}}{4}+5U+C$

so we can substitute U back, so we get:

$\int xln(x+5)dU=(\frac{(x+5)^{2}}{2}-5(x+5))ln(x+5)-\frac{(x+5)^{2}}{4}+5(x+5)+C$

and now we can simplify:

$\int xln(x+5)dU=(\frac{x^{2}}{2}+5x+\frac{25}{2}-25-5x)ln(5+x)-\frac{x^{2}+10x+25}{4}+25+5x+C$

$\int xln(x+5)dU=(\frac{x^{2}-25}{2})ln(5+x)-\frac{x^{2}}{4}-\frac{5x}{2}-\frac{25}{4}+25+5x+C$

$\int xln(x+5)dU=(\frac{x^{2}-25}{2})ln(5+x)-\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{5x}{2}+C$

notice how all the constants were combined into one big constant C.

In a recently administered iq test, the scores were distributed normally, with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. what proporti

iragen [17]

To solve for proportion we make use of the z statistic. The procedure is to solve for the value of the z score and then locate for the proportion using the standard distribution tables. The formula for z score is:

z = (X – μ) / σ

where X is the sample value, μ is the mean value and σ is the standard deviation

when X = 70

z1 = (70 – 100) / 15 = -2

Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P1 = 0.0228

when X = 130

z2 = (130 – 100) /15 = 2

Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P2 = 0.9772

Therefore the proportion between X of 70 and 130 is:

P (70<X<130) = P2 – P1

P (70<X<130) = 0.9772 - 0.0228

P (70<X<130) = 0.9544

Therefore 0.9544 or 95.44% of the test takers scored between 70 and 130.

Use the linear combination method to solve the system of equations. Explain each step of your solution.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1)y=-3+5x

2)y=5/2-1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

for both equations

1) get your y by it self (subtract -5x and your new equation is now -y=-5x+3)

2)(reminder y can't be negative if it is negative) then you divide by -1 of both sides

3) your equation should now be y=5x-3

Please help me solve this.<br>

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

B. Subtract 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You always want to isolate the <em>x</em> term to solve for <em>x</em> in any equation. Therefore, we need to move the 7 to the other side. Only way to do that is to subtract 7 on both sides.
