Question 17

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

698 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, we can represent an exponential growth function as;

y = a•(1 + r)^t

originally, there were 3 fishes

The original value in this case means a = 3

After 6 weeks, there were 31

31 in this case is y

r is the increase percentage or rate

t is the time

So, we have it that;

31 = 3•(1 + r)^6

31/3 = (1 + r)^6

10.33 = (1 + r)^6

ln 10.33 = 6 ln (1 + r)

ln 10.33/6 = ln (1 + r)

e^0.3892 = (1 + r)

1 + r = 1.476

r = 1.476-1

r = 0.476 or 47.6%

So the growth percentage or rate is 47.6%

For 14 weeks, we simply have the value of t as 14;

So ;

y = 3•(1 + 0.476)^14

y = 3(1.476)^14

y = 698 fishes

Socket set for $36.00 with 40% off plus 8.25 % sales tax. How much do I owe?
OlgaM077 [116]

whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.


so the socket set has a 40% off, what is 40% of 36?  well, is just (40/100) * 36, or 14.4, that's the discount, so the sale price is 36 - 14.4, or 21.6.


plus the 8.25% taxation, what is 8.25% of 21.6?  well, is just (8.25/100) * 21.6, or 1.782.

so the total price is 21.6 + 1.782, or 23.382, or about 23 bucks and 38 cents.

Slope -1 passes through (7,2)
kvv77 [185]
Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(7,2)...x = 7 and y = 2
now we sub and find b, the y int
2 = -1(7) + b
2 = -7 + b
2 + 7 = b
9 = b

so ur equation of this line is : y = -1x + 9.....can also be written as :
y = -x + 9....or if u need it in standard form, it is : x + y = 9
