Answer: P=1.4(0.88)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation to show decay in population :

P=P_0(1-r)^t   (i) , where P= population after t years, P_0 = initial population, r =rate of decay.

Given: The population of Austinburg on January 1, 2000 : P_0=1.4\text{ million}

r= 12%= 0.12

Put theses values in (i), we get

P=1.4(1-0.12)^t\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=1.4(0.88)^t, which gives the  population (in millions), p, of Austinburg t years after January 1, 2000.

Paul's mom sent him to the grocery store with $10 to buy bread and cheese for sandwiches. Paul picked out a loaf of bread that c
lutik1710 [3]

Given:

Total amount = $10

Cost of loaf of bread = $3.25

Cost of cheese = $5.99 per pound

Each slice weights = 0.04 pounds.

To find:

The inequality for the number of slices that Paul can afford to buy.

Solution:

Let x be the number of slices that Paul can afford to buy.

Weight of on slice is 0.04 pounds. So, weight of x slices is 0.04x pound.

Cost of cheese = $5.99 per pound

So, total cost of cheese for x slices = $5.99 × 0.04x

Now, Paul has $10 to buy bread and cheese for sandwiches. Cost of loaf of bread is $3.25.

3.25+(5.99\times 0.04x)\leq 10

0.2396x\leq 10-3.25

0.2396x\leq 6.75

Divide both sides by 0.2396.

x\leq \dfrac{6.75}{0.2396}

x\leq 28.172

The maximum integer value of x is 28.

Therefore, the required inequity is 3.25+(5.99\times 0.04x)\leq 10 and 28 number of slices Paul can afford to buy.

One fifth of a number plus three times the number is equal to twice the number plus 42. What is the number
borishaifa [10]

Equation to find number's value: \frac{1}{5}n + 3n = 2n + 42

Number's value: n = 35


Explanation:

Let n be the unknown number for this problem.

One fifth of a number is the same as \frac{1}{5}n.

Three times the number is the same as 3n.

Twice the number plus 42 is the same as 2n + 42.

So, using the information we've gathered so far, we can create the equation that will provide us with n's value.

Equation: \frac{1}{5}n + 3n = 2n + 42

We can use this equation to find n's value.

You can subtract 2n from both sides to get the equation \frac{1}{5}n + n = 42, which is the same thing as the equation we were using.

Now add n and \frac{1}{5}n together to get 1\frac{1}{5}n.

After you do this, your equation should look like 1\frac{1}{5}n=42.

Now divide both sides by 1\frac{1}{5} to get n's value.

n = 35

Given the line y = − 2 5 x + 3, determine if the given line is parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Select the correct answer fo
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

(a) Neither

(a) Perpemdicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine the relationship between given lines

(a)

y = -\frac{2}{5}x + 3

and

y = \frac{2}{5}x + 7

An equation written in form: y=mx + b has the slope:

m \to slope

So, in both equations:

m_1 = -\frac{2}{5}

m_2 = \frac{2}{5}

For both lines to be parallel

m_1 = m_2

This is false in this case, because:

-\frac{2}{5} \ne \frac{2}{5}

For both lines to be perpendicular

m_1 * m_2 = -1

This is false in this case, because:

-\frac{2}{5} * \frac{2}{5} \ne -1

(b)

5y + 2x = -10

and

-5x + 2y = 4

Write equations in form: y=mx + b

5y + 2x = -10

5y = -2x +10

Divide by 5

y = -\frac{2}{5}x +2

-5x + 2y = 4

2y = 5x + 4

Divide by 2

y = \frac{5}{2}x + 2

In both equations:

m_1 = -\frac{2}{5}

m_2 = \frac{5}{2}

For both lines to be parallel

m_1 = m_2

This is false in this case, because:

-\frac{2}{5} \ne \frac{5}{2}

For both lines to be perpendicular

m_1 * m_2 = -1

This is true in this case, because:

-\frac{2}{5} * \frac{5}{2} = -1

Cancel out 2 and 5

-1 = -1
