7 0

Answer:

If Father is four times older than Mary, that would be 4 times 10-- which equals 40. Five years ago, Mary must have been 5 years old. So, multiply 7 and 5 and you'll get 35! Father would have been 35 years old.

I hope this helps!

A pro baseball team is having a promotion in which every 10th fan that enters the stadium gets a free hat and every 12th person

Multiples of 10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
This means the 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, ... fan will get a free hat.
Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60
This means the 12th, 24th, 36th, 48th, 60th, ... fan will get a free shirt.
So the 60th fan will receive both a hat and a shirt.
Meaning 60 fans will come to the stadium before a fan receives both a hat and a shirt.

Based on a study of population projections for 2000 to 2050, the projected population of a group of people (in millions) can b

Answer:

(a) 0.107 million per year

(b) 0.114 million per year

Step-by-step explanation:

$A(t) = 11.19(1.009)^t$

(a) The average rate of change between 2000 and 2014 is determined by dividing the difference in the populations in the two years by the number of years. In the year 2000, $t=0$ and in 2014, $t=14$ . Mathematically,

$\text{Rate}=\dfrac{A(2014) - A(2000)}{2014-2000}=\dfrac{11.19(1.009)^14-11.19(1.009)^0} {14}$

$A(0)=\dfrac{12.69-11.19}{14}=\dfrac{1.5}{14}=0.107$

(b) The instantaneous rate of change is determined by finding the differential derivative at that year.

The result of differentiating functions of the firm $y=a^x$ (where $a$ is a constant) is $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=a^x\ln a$ . Let's use in this in finding the derivative of $A(t)$ .
