The function is:
B ( t ) = 4 * e^(0.8 t)
4 * e^(0.8 t) = 400
e^(0.8 t) = 400: 4
e^(0.8 t) = 100 / ln
ln e^(0.8 t) = ln 100 ( and since: ln e = 1 and ln e^x = x * ln e )
0.8 t = 4.6
t = 4.6 : 0.8 = 5.76 ≈ 6
Answer:
D ) 6 hours.
The vertex form of a quadratic function is:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
The coordinate (h, k) represents a parabola's vertex.
In order to convert a quadratic function in standard form to the vertex form, we can complete the square.
y = 2x² - 5x + 13
Move the constant, 13, to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.
y - 13 = 2x² - 5x
Factor out 2 on the right side of the equation.
y - 13 = 2(x² - 2.5x)
Add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation, but remember that since we factored 2 out on the right side of the equation we have to multiply (b/2)² by 2 again on the left side.
y - 13 + 2(2.5/2)² = 2(x² - 2.5x + (2.5/2)²)
y - 13 + 3.125 = 2(x² - 2.5x + 1.5625)
Add the constants on the left and factor the expression on the right to a perfect square.
y - 9.875 = 2(x - 1.25)²
Now, we need y to be by itself again so add 9.875 back to both sides of the equation to move it back to the right side.
y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Vertex: (1.25, 9.875)
Solution: y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Or if you prefer fractions
y = 2(x - 5/4)² + 79/8
10 whole sandwiches can be made with 2 pounds of cheese if each sandwhich has 3 ounces of cheese on it.
2 pounds = 32 ounces
32/3 = 10.67
You want 125 pounds minus 4% of it, so you want 96% just multiply it
125 . 96% = 125 . 96/100 = 120
