Answer:
The area after 9 years will be 1,234 km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating what the area of a certain forest that decreases at a certain percentage would be after some years.
To answer this question, we shall be using an exponential approximation.
Now, to use this exponential approximation, we shall be needing a supporting exponential mathematical equation.
This can be written as;
A = I(1-r)^t
where A is the new area we are looking for
I is the initial area which is 1700 according to the question
r is the rate of decrease which is 3.5% = 3.5/100 = 0.035
t is time which is 9 years according to the question
We plug these values and have the following;
A = 1700(1-0.035)^9
A = 1700(0.965)^9
A = 1,233.66
This is 1,234 km^2 to the nearest square kilometer
Answer:
C. 7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time for the trip out be represented by t. Then the time for the return trip is t-1. The distance was the same for both trips, so we have ...
distance = speed × time
300t = 350(t -1)
300t = 350t -350 . . . . eliminate parentheses
350 = 50t . . . . . . . . . . add 350-300t
7 = t . . . . . . divide by 50
The trip out took 7 hours.
In the given problem it is already stated that the cost of each eggs is 15 cent. Out the total eggs bought 6 were broken. The rest of the eggs were sold for 20 cents each and the profit made was $4.80.
Cost of the 6 broken eggs = (6 * 0.15)
= 0.9 cents
Let us assume that the number of eggs bought = x
Then we can write the equation as
0.2x - (0.15x - 0.9) = 4.80
0.2x - 0.15x + 0.9 = 4.80
0.05x = 4.80 - 0.9
0.05x = 3.9
x = 3.9/0.05
= 78
So the number of eggs bought by him is 78
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
To calculate m use the slope formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 4)
m = 
= - 
, hence
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (8, 4), then
4 = - 
+ c ⇒ c = 4 + = 
y = - x + ← equation of line
