Answer:

Part A)

Chorus:

c(t)=15(1.12)^t

Band:

b(t)=2t+30

Part B)

After 9 years:

The chorus will have about 41 people.

And the band will have 48 people.

Part C)

About approximately 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 15 people in the chorus. Each year, number of people in the chorus increases by 12%. So, the chorus increases exponentially.

There are 30 people in the band. Each year, 2 new people join the band. So, the band increases linearly.

Part A)

Since after each year, the number of people in the chorus increases by 12%, the new population will be 112% or 1.12 of the previous population.

So, using the standard form for exponential growth:

c(t)=a(r)^t

Where <em>a</em> is the initial population and <em>r</em> is the rate of change.

We will substitute 15 for <em>a </em>and 1.12 for <em>r</em>. Hence:

c(t)=15(1.12)^t

This represents the number of people in the chorus after <em>t</em> years.

We are given that 2 new people join the band each year. So, it increases linearly.

Since there are already 30 people in the band, our initial point or y-intercept is 30.

And since 2 new people join every year, our slope is 2. Then by the slope-intercept form:

b(t)=mt+b

And by substitution:

b(t)=2t+30

This represents the number of people in the band after <em>t</em> years.

Part B)

We want to find the number of people in the chorus and the band after 9 years.

Using the chorus function, we see that:

c(9)=15(1.12)^9\approx41.59\approx41

There will be approximately 41 people in the chorus after 9 years.

And using the band function, we see that:

b(9)=2(9)+30=48

There will be 48 people in the band after 9 years.

Part C)

We want to determine after approximately how many years will the number of people in the chorus and band be equivalent. Hence, we will set the two functions equal to each other and solve for <em>t</em>. So:

15(1.12)^t=2t+30

Unfortunately, it is impossible to solve for <em>t</em> using normal analytic methods. Hence, we can graph them. Recall that graphically, our equation is the same as saying at what point will our two functions intersect.

Referring to the graph below, we can see that the point of intersection is at approximately (10.95, 51.91).

Hence, after approximately 11 years, both the chorus and the band will have approximately 52 people.

How to set the answer up
Korolek [52]

Let s and g represents the numbers of suits and gowns produced.

The number of zippers used is 2s+g.

The number of buttons used is 5s+8g.

In order to use all of the available zippers and buttons, we must have ...

  • 2s + g = 171
  • 5s + 8g = 576

Cramer's rule tells you the solution to the system

  • ax +by = c
  • dx +ey = f

Is given by

  • x = (bf-ey)/(bd-ea)
  • y = (cd-fa)/(bd-ea)

Using this rule on the equations for zippers and buttons, we have

... s = (1·576 -8·171)/(1·5 -8·2) = -792/-11 = 72

... g = (171·5 -2·576)/-11 = -297/-11 = 27

72 suits and 27 gowns can be made from available zippers and buttons.

Forty tickets are sold for a raffle with two prizes. You buy two tickets. What is the probability that you will win both prizes
tekilochka [14]
When you first pick a ticket, there are 2 winning tickets and 40 total tickets.  This means that there is a 2/40 chance of your ticket being a winning one.  This fraction can be reduced to 1/20.

After this, there will be 1 winning ticket left and 39 total tickets.  There is a 1/39 chance of the next ticket being a winning one.  We multiply these two fractions together to get our answer.  1/20 * 1/39 = 1/780, so there is a 1/780 chance of having 2 winning tickets.
