Consider the missing part of the question is "Select the correct statement.

A. The number of employees is increasing by 50% every year.

B. The number of employees is decreasing by 10% every year.

C. The number of employees is decreasing by 90% every year.

D. The number of employees is increasing by 90% every year."

Given:

The function is:

f(t)=1.5(0.90)^t

Where, f(t) is the number of employees working at a company, in thousands and t is the number of years since the company revised the benefits package.

To find:

The correct statement from the given options.

Solution:

The general exponential decay model is:

f(t)=a(1-r)^t         ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value, r is the rate of decay and t is the number of years.

We have,

f(t)=1.5(0.90)^t

It can be written as

f(t)=1.5(1-0.10)^t        ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

a=1.5,r=0.10

The initial value is 1.5 and the rate of decay is 0.10 or 10%. It means the number of employees is decreasing by 10% every year.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit P (in dollars) generated by producing x microwave ovens per week is given b
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Number of ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1610  is 70

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit P (in dollars) generated by producing x microwave ovens per week is given by the formula

P=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)

provided that 0 ≤ x ≤ 200

We are given

profit is $1610

so, we can set P=1610

and then we can solve for x

1610=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)

Multiply both sides by 10

1610\cdot \:10=\frac{1}{10}x\left(300-x\right)\cdot \:10

16100=x\left(300-x\right)

16100=300x-x^2

-x^2+300x-16100=0

now, we can factor it

(x-70)(x-230)=0

we can solve for x

and we get

x=70,x=230

Since, x=230 does not lie on 0 ≤ x ≤ 200

So, we will consider only x=70

So,

Number of ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1610  is 70

Explain how to find surface area of a rectangular prism. Be specific and use examples.
Leya [2.2K]
As you can see in the picture above, there are six faces of a rectangular prism; two are formed with dimensions width and height, two are formed by the dimensions length and width, and two are formed by the dimensions length and height. So, if you know the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism, then the formula for the surface area is

=(2⋅ℎ⋅ℎ)+(2⋅ℎ⋅ℎℎ)+(2⋅ℎ⋅ℎℎ)
