Answer:

The number of candles will hold 2 candles

And large candle holder will hold 6 candles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candles small candle holder have x

And the number of candles large candle holder have y

So, according to the information given in the question:

17 small candle holders means 17 x

and 2 large candle holders means 2y

using a total of 46 candles means $17x+2y=46$ (1)

Similarly, 8 small candle holders and 2 large candle holders, for a total of 28 candles gives:

$8x+2y=28$ (2)

We will solve equation (1) and (2) by elimination method:

Subtractijng the two equations we get:

$9x=18$

$\Rightarrow x=2$

Substitute x=2 in equation(2) we get: $8(2)+2y=28$

$2y=12$

$\Rightarrow y=6$

So, the number of candles will hold 2 candles

And large candle holder will hold 6 candles.

In 2010, the population of a town was 8500. The population decreased by 4.5% each year.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

This is a problem in exponential decay.

a) If a town's population decreases by 4.5% every year that also means that the town's population decreases by a factor of .955 each year. (1 - .045 = .955)

So, after 5 years, the town's population is:

8,500 * .955^5 which equals 6,752.

So, basically, after t years, the town's population equals

8,500 * .955^t where t is the number of years that have passed since the year 2010.

b) population = 8,500 * .955 ^ (number of years since 2010)

7,000 / 8,500 = .955 ^ (number of years since 2010)

0.8235294118 = .955 ^ (number of years since 2010)

To solve for (number of years since 2010) we take logs of both sides

log (0.8235294118 ) = number of years since 2010 * log(.955)

-0.0843208857 = number of years since 2010 * -0.0199966284

-0.0843208857 / -0.0199966284 = number of years since 2010

4.2167551422 = number of years since 2010

So, population = 7,000 when the year is 2014.2167551422

Or about 2.6 months into 2014

(YES, it's just that "easy") LOL

A child lets go of a balloon that rises at a constant rate. 5 seconds after it was released, the balloon is at a height of 16 fe

Mama L [17]

Answer:

1. h = 2.4t + 4

2. 4 feet

3. 220 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write a linear model for the height, h, of the balloon as a function of the number of seconds, s that it has been raising.

Since the balloon rises at a constant rate, we find this rate by using the initial and final values of height and time at 5 seconds and 20 seconds respectively which are 12 feet and 52 feet respectively.

So, rate = gradient of line

= change in height/change in time

= (52 ft - 16 ft)/(20 s - 5 s)

= 36 ft/15 s

= 2.4 ft/s

Now the equation of the line which shows the height is gotten from

(h - h')/(t - t') = rate

Using h'= 16 feet and t' = 5 s, we have

(h - 16)/(t - 5) = 2.4

h - 16 = 2.4(t - 5)

h - 16 = 2.4t - 12

h = 2.4t - 12 + 16

h = 2.4t + 4

where h is the height of the balloon above the ground and t is the time spent in the air in seconds.

2. What was the height of the balloon initially before the child let it go?

We obtain the initial height of the balloon before the child let go at time, t = 0 the time before the child let go.

So, substituting t = 0 into the equation for h, we have

h = 2.4t + 4

h = 2.4(0) + 4

h = 0 + 4

h = 4 feet

So, the height of the balloon before the child let go is 4 feet above the ground.

3. Use your model to predict the height of the balloon after 90 seconds.

We insert t = 90 s into the equation for h. So,

h = 2.4t + 4

h = 2.4(90) + 4

h = 216 + 4

h = 220 feet

So, the height of the balloon after 90 s is 220 feet above the ground.
