Answer:
C. y=36(1.2)t
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of members in the Club in t years after 2001 is given by an equation in the following format:

In which y(0) is the number of members in 2001 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.
The number of members in the Triathlon Club was 36 in 2001 and has increased by 20% each year.
This means that 
So



The correct answer is C.
Answer:
First mechanic worked 20 hours and second mechanic worked 5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hours the first mechanic worked = 
Let the number of hours the second mechanic worked = 
Therefore, we can write 2 equations and then solve them simultaneously:


Rearranging the first equation: 
and substituting into the second equation to find
:


Now sub
into the first equation to find 

Therefore, first mechanic (a) worked 20 hours and second mechanic (b) worked 5 hours
The key calculation in this problem is figuring out <em>how many times 80 goes into 1,000,000</em>. I'll build up in steps here.
80 x 5 = 400. This gives us a building block on our way to 1,000,000. From here, we can go further and say that 400 x 5 = 2,000; that 2,000 x 5 = 10,000; and finally that 10,000 x 100 = 1,000,000. Altogether, starting from 80, that's
80 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 100 = 80 x 25 x 500 = <em>80 x 12,500</em>
So, since 80 goes into one million 12,500 times, it takes 12,500 minutes for the animal's heart to beat that 1,000,000 times.

Answer:
168 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is ...
V = (1/3)Bh
where B is the area of the base, and h is the height.
The base is a rectangle, whose are is given by the formula ...
A = LW
A = (8 in)(7 in) = 56 in²
Then the pyramid volume is ...
V = (1/3)(56 in²)(9 in) = 168 in³
The volume of the pyramid is 168 cubic inches.
