Options :

A. Every year the number of subscribers is estimated to increase by 8 over the number

of subscribers the year before.

B. Every year the number of subscribers is estimated to increase by 8% of the original

20,000 subscribers

C. Every year the number of subscribers is estimated to increase by 8% over the

number of subscribers the year before.

D. Every year the number of subscribers is estimated to increase by 80% of the

original 20,000 subscribers.

Answer:

C. Every year the number of subscribers is estimated to increase by 8% over the

number of subscribers the year before.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The formula represents an exponential function :

S = 20,000 (1 + 0.08)^y

General form of an exponential equation :

y(x) = ab^x

Where a = initial value ; b = rate of change ; x = time

Comparing the formula given with the general equation:

a = 20000 = Number of subscribers when company began

b^x = (1 + 0.08)^y = percentage increase in the number of subscribers over y years

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a sector has the formula

A_s=\frac{\theta}{360}*\pi r^2 Hopefully, this looks somewhat familiar to you. Theta is the central angle given as 75, r is the radius given as 4. Filling in:

A_s=\frac{75}{360}*(3.14)(4)^2 and simplifying that a bit to look less threatening, but not by much:

A_s=\frac{5}{24}(3.14)(16) and

A_s=\frac{251.2}{24}=\frac{157}{15}=10.466666666... Not sure how you're supposed to express your answer so I gave both the fraction and its decimal equivalency.

A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the are
Katarina [22]

Answer: Area = 6m²

              Smaller number = 16

              Hours = 9.6 h

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the area remains the same. Find the area of the rectangle.

1) w = x m                                2) w = x + 1 m

     l = x + 5  m                               l = x + 5 - 2 = x + 3 m

A₁ = A₂

A = w*l

A₁ = x(x+5) = x² + 5x

A₂ = (x+1)(x+2) = x² + x + 2x + 2 = x² + 3x + 2

A₁ = A₂

x² + 5x = x² + 3x + 2

5x - 3x = 2

2x = 2

x = 1

A₁ = x(x+5) = 1.6 = 6 m²

The ratio of two numbers is 2:5. If the larger number is 40, what is the smaller number.

<u> 2 </u> = <u> x </u>

5     40

5x = 80

x = 80/5 = 16

Sixteen construction workers can finish cementing a floor of a building in 3 hours. On a certain day, only 5 construction workers are available for the job. How long will it take the 5 construction workers to do the cementing job?

5x = 16*3

5x = 48

x = 48/5

People in here again and again. I think this is the last question
Lilit [14]

Answer:

2.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the length of segment AB and the length of segment BC. To find their midpoints, we can divide their length by 2.

Let's find the midpoint of AB.

  • Segment AB: 10 cm
  • Midpoint of AB: 10/2 = 5 cm

Next let's find the midpoint of BC.

  • Segment BC: 5.2 cm
  • Midpoint of BC: 5.2/2 = 2.6 cm

In order to find the difference between these midpoints, we can subtract the midpoint of AB by the midpoint of BC.

  • 5 cm - 2.6 cm = 2.4 cm

Therefore, the difference between the midpoints of AB and BC is 2.4 cm.
