Given:

Present number of trees = 2.5 billions

Rate of decrease = 0.5% per month

To find:

The expression that represents how many trees will be left in 10 years?

Solution:

Exponential decay model:

P(t)=a(1-r)^t         ...(i)

where, a is initial value, r is decreasing rate and t is time period.

We have,

a = 2.5 billions

r = 0.5% = 0.005 per month

t = 10 years = 120 months                         [1 year = 12 months]

Putting a=2.5, r=0.005 and t=120 in (i), we get

P(120)=2.5(1-0.005)^{120}

P(120)=2.5(0.995)^{120}

P(120)=1.3699657

P(120)\approx 1.37

Therefore, the required expression is 2.5(1-0.005)^{120} and the remaining trees after 10 years is about 1.37 billions.

Answer:

23 and 131

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one. Since a whole entire angle thingie is 360, subtract 243 and 94 from 360. Answer is 23 :)

For the second one. This is a supplementary angle. 180- 49 is 131. Your done!

Barbara earns $16.50 per hour for the first 8 hours she works What
Bingel [31]
In the morning she worked 3 hours and 45 minutes. In the afternoon she worked 5 hours and 15 minutes. That is a total of 9 hours. At $16.50 per hour for 8 hours that comes to $132. Plus the 1 hour over time with breaks down to $18.50 plus $8.25 totaling $24.75. Add that to the $132 and she made a total of $156.75 for Wednesday’s work. I hope this helps with your question.

Linda goes water-skiing one sunny afternoon. After skiing for 15 min, she signals to the driver of the boat to take her back to
trasher [3.6K]
60 = a * (-30)^2
a = 1/15
So y = (1/15)x^2


abc)
The derivative of this function is 2x/15. This is the slope of a tangent at that point.
If Linda lets go at some point along the parabola with coordinates (t, t^2 / 15), then she will travel along a line that was TANGENT to the parabola at that point.
Since that line has slope 2t/15, we can determine equation of line using point-slope formula:
y = m(x-x0) + y0
y = 2t/15 * (x - t) + (1/15)t^2
Plug in the x-coordinate "t" that was given for any point.


d)
We are looking for some x-coordinate "t" of a point on the parabola that holds the tangent line that passes through the dock at point (30, 30).
So, use our equation for a general tangent picked at point (t, t^2 / 15):
y = 2t/15 * (x - t) + (1/15)t^2
And plug in the condition that it must satisfy x=30, y=30.
30 = 2t/15 * (30 - t) + (1/15)t^2
t = 30 ± 2√15 = 8.79 or 51.21
The larger solution does in fact work for a tangent that passes through the dock, but it's not important for us because she would have to travel in reverse to get to the dock from that point.
So the only solution is she needs to let go x = 8.79 m east and y = 5.15 m north of the vertex.
