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.

On first down, a football team had a loss of 8 yards. After two downs, the team had an overall gain of 20 yards. How many yards
mihalych1998 [28]
They’ve started out with 0yds of course so, -8yds on the first down. They’ve gained 20yds overall in both downs. You’re now trying to find “x”. -8+x=20. To find “x”, you do 20+8 because the 8 is negative and you would lose numbers in order to get 20, so “x” equals 28. Therefore, you’ve gained 28 yds in the second down and lost 8 yds in the first down.

I really, really hoped that helped. It took awhile to figure out, but I’m sure I’ve got it now.

A rock is dropped from a bridge 320 feet above the river. The pathway that the rock takes can be modeled by the equation h= -16t
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The rock will take about 4.5 seconds to reach the river

Step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the situation of the rock

- The rock is dropped means the initial velocity is zero

- The motion is free fall under earth gravity

- The rock dropped from a bridge 320 feet above the river

- The equation of the pathway is h = -16t² + 320

- When the rock reach to the ground the height will be zero

* Now lets substitute h by zero in the equation to find t

∵ h = -16t² + 320

∵ h = 0

∴ 0 = -16t² + 320 ⇒ add 16t² to both sides

∴ 16t² = 320 ⇒ divide both sides by 16

∴ t² = 320/16 = 20

∴ t² = 20 ⇒ take √ for both sides

∴ t = √20 = 2√5 ≅ 4.5 seconds

* The rock will take about 4.5 seconds to reach the river

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!<br><br> What is the inverse of h?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = 6x + 1

y = 6x + 1

switch x and y

x = 6y + 1

solve for y

6y = x - 1

y = (x-1) / 6
