Answer: She started with $160.
It will take 6 weeks before she has less than half of what she originally invested.
Step-by-step explanation:
If her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week, it means that the rate at which it is decreasing is exponential.
We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as
A = P(1 - r)^t
Where
A represents the value of the investment after t weeks.
t represents the number of weeks.
P represents the initial value of the investment.
r represents rate of depreciation.
From the information given,
A = $142.40
r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11
t = 1
Therefore
142.40 = P(1 - 0.11)^1
142.40 = P(0.89)
P = 142.4/0.89
P = 160
For her to have half of what she invested originally, then
80 = 160(0.89)^t
80/160 = (0.89)^t
0.5 = (0.89)^t
Taking log of both sides to base 10
Log 0.5 = log0.89^t = tlog0.89
- 0.3010 = - 0.051t
t = - 0.3010/- 0.051
t = 5.9
Approximately 6 weeks
If a random sample of 20 persons weighed 3,460, the sample mean x-bar would be 3460/20 = 173 pounds.
The z-score for 173 pounds is given by:
Referring to a standard normal distribution table, and using z = 0.66, we find:
Therefore
The answer is: 0.2546
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of chocolate chips = 6 1/2
Amount of cups of flour = 5/2
The cups of flour should be changes to a mixed fraction and this will be 5/2 = 2 1/2
The question simply means we should find the difference between the fractions given and this will be:
= 6 1/2 - 2 1/2
= 4
1:4
smaller side = 2
bigger side = 8 since 2/8 = 1/4
1/4 = 2/x
x=4*2=8
Answer:
Undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
A slope is found using the formula rise (change in y) over run (change in x). The change in x is 0, and the change in y is -2. The answer is -2/0, but dividing by 0 gives you undefined. Don't believe me? Look at the attached image.
Hope this helps!
