Answer: $f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential model for growth is given by :-

$f(x)=A(1+r)^x$ , where A = initial value , r = growth rate (in decimal), x = time (in years).

Given: A= 15,500 r= 3.75% = 0.0375

The exponential model for the growth of this population will be :

$f(x)=15500(1+0.0375)^x\\\\\Rightarrow\ f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x$

hence, the required model: $f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x$

Gareth has a deck of cards with 12 challenge cards and 8 prize cards. Gareth is going to randomly select a card from the deck 14

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Gareth has a deck of cards with 12 challenge cards and 8 prize cards.

=> The probability he selects a prize card: P = 8/(12 + 8) = 8/20 = 0.4

Gareth is going to randomly select a card from the deck 148 times, replacing the card and shuffling the deck after each selection .

=>The randomness is kept same for all selecting times

Then the best prediction for the number of times Gareth will select a prize card:

=> N = 0.4 x 148 = 59.2 = 59 times

Hope this helps!

Joe bikes at the speed of 30 km/h from his home toward his work. If Joe's wife leaves home 5 mins later by car, how fast should

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Joe's wife must drive at a rate of 45km/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Joe leaves home and bikes at a speed of 30km/hour. Joe's wife leaves home five minutes later by car, and we want to determine her speed in order for her to catch up to Joe in 10 minutes.

Since Joe bikes at a speed of 30km/hour, he bikes at the equivalent rate of 0.5km/min.

Then after five minutes, when his wife leaves, Joe is 5(0.5) or 2.5 km from the house. He will still be traveling at a rate of 0.5km/min, so his distance from the house can be given by:

$2.5+0.5t$
