Alenkinab [10]

The number of half-hour sittings needed to watch all the shows by Devon is 11

Solution:

Given, Devon records 4 hours of reality shows on her DVR

she records comedy shows for 3/8 of that amount of time.

$\rightarrow \frac{3}{8} \text { of } 4 \text { hours } \rightarrow \frac{3}{8} \times 4 \rightarrow \frac{3}{2} \text { hours }$

Devon watches all the reality and comedy shows in half-hour sittings.

We have to find the number of half-hour sittings needed to watch all the shows

Now, number of half hour sittings is given as

$=\frac{\text { total time of videos }}{\text { time for hlaf hour sitting }}$

$\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{4 \text { hours for reality shows }+\frac{3}{2} \text { hours for comedy shows }}{\frac{1}{2} \text { hours for each sitting }}} \\\\ {=\frac{4+\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\frac{8+3}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\frac{11}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{11}{2} \times \frac{2}{1}=11}\end{array}$

Hence Devon needs 11 sittings

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Uninhibited growth can be modeled by exponential functions other than $A(t)=A_{0}e^{kt}$ . for example, if an initial population P₀ requires n units of time to triple, then the function $P(t)=P_{0}(3)^{\frac{t}{n} }$ models the size of the population at time t. An insect population grows exponentially. Complete the parts a through d below.

a) If the population triples in 30 days, and 50 insects are present initially, write an exponential function of the form $P(t)=P_{0}(3)^{\frac{t}{n} }$ that models the population.

b) What will the population be in 47 days?

c) When wil the population reach 750?

d) Express the model from part (a) in the form $A(t)=A_{0}e^{kt}$ .

Answer: a) $P(t)=50(3)^{\frac{t}{30} }$
