Answer:

0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth equation is expressed as;

S(t) = S0e^kt

S(t) is the number of stores after t years

S0 is the initial number of stores

If a chain of retail computer stores opened 2 stores in its first year of operation then at t = 1, S(t) = 2. Substitute into the equation;

2 = S0e^k(1)

2 = S0e^k .... 1

Also if after 8 years of operation, the chain consisted of 206 stores, this means at t = 8, S(t) = 206. Substitute into the equation;

206 = S0e^k(1)

206 = S0e^8k .... 2

Next is to calculate the value of k

Divide equation 2 by 1;

\frac{206}{2} = \frac{S0e^{8k} }{S0e^k }\\103 =   e^{7k}\\apply \ ln \ to \ both \ sides\\ln103 = lne^{7k}\\ln103 = 7k\\k = \frac{ln103}{7}\\k = \frac{4.6347}{7} \\k =  0.6621

Hence the value of k to the nearest hundredth is 0.66

Find two numbers such that the sum of the first and three times the second is 5 and the sum of the second and two times the firs
Sav [38]

Answer:

first number= 19/5

second number= 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first number= a

second number= b

a+3b=5   equation 1

b+2a=8  equation 2

using equation 2 we have

b=8-2a

using equation 1 we have

a+3(8-2a)=5  

a+24-6a=5

24-5=6a-a

19=5a

a=19/5 = first number

so using b=8-2a

we have

b=8-2(19/5)

b=8-(38/5)

b=2/5 = second number

Answer:

21+j=55

Step-by-step explanation:

It says sum, which means to add(+). So you add 21 and j (21+j) and that equals 55 (=55). Then you add all the pieces together and you get 21+j=55

If a ball rotates 110 degrees in 8 seconds, how many degrees does it rotate in 32 seconds?
Vlad1618 [11]
Well 32 divided by 8 would be 4 so... 32 x 4 would be 128 so 128 times. If it’s not correct I’m really sorry.
