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.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

1/12

THIS DESERVES BRAINLISTTT

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 possible outcomes, 6 for the die for each of the 2 for the coin. Only one comprises a 5 and a tail so the probability, assuming a fair coin and die, is 1/12.

Find the coordinates of the circumcenter for triangle DEF with coordinates D(1,3) E(8,3) and F(1,-5) show your work
nikklg [1K]

One leg is horizontal, on the line y=3. Another leg is vertical, on the line x=1. The point where these intersect, D(1, 3) is the vertex of a right angle. Any right triangle inscribed in a circle has its hypotenuse as the diameter of the circle.

Since the triangle is a right triangle, the circumcenter is the midpoint of the hypotenuse: ((8, 3) + (1, -5))/2 = (4.5, -1).

Find the following angle measures of angle EAD and angle CAB
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

m<EAD=29°

m<CAB=119°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a straight line sum up to 180°

This implies that,

61°+90°+EAD=180°

151°+EAD=180°

Subtracting 151° from both sides,we obtain,

EAD=180°-151°

EAD=29°

Angles on a straight line add up to 180°.

This implies that,

CAB+61°=180°

Subtracting 61° from both sides,we obtain

CAB=180°-61°

CAB=119°

Thus,m<EAD=29° and m<CAB=119°
