Answer:

Doing so allows you to really see the growth or decay of what you're dealing with. The basic parent function of any exponential function is f(x) = bx, where b is the base. Using the x and y values from this table, you simply plot the coordinates to get the graphs.

Answer:

A = P x r^t

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Amount (e.g. number of organisms in population after certain period of time)

P = Principal/ Initial Value (e.g. the starting population)

r = rate as a decimal (e.g. if a population increases over certain period of time by 20%, r would equal 1.2)

t = time in whichever units you need.

Example of problem using formula:

A population of 2000 decreases by 20% every year, find the population size after 5 years.

A = ?

P = 2000

r = 0.8

t = 5

A = Pxr^t

A = 2000 x 0.8^5

A = 655.36

Hope this helped!

n 2000 the population of a small village was 2,400. With an annual growth rate of approximately 1.68%, compounded continuously,

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The population would be 3358

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, exponential growth function if the growth is compound continuously,

$A = Pe^{rt}$

Where,

P = initial population,

r = growth rate per period,

t = number of periods,

Given,

The population in 2000, P = 2,400,

Growth rate per year = 1.68% = 0.0168,

Number of years from 2000 to 2020, t = 20,

Thus, the population in 2020,

$A=2400 e^{0.0168\times 20}$

$=2400 e^{0.336}$

$= 3358.4136$

$\approx 3358$

What is the height of cone S?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the scale factor from cone S to cone T.

ratio of volumes = (vol of T)/(vol of S) = (6144 pi cm^3)/(768 pi cm^3) = 8

The ratio of the volumes is 8:1

The scale factor, which is the ratio of linear dimensions (height, radius, etc.), is the cubic root of the ratio of the volumes.

scale factor = cubic root of 8 = 2

The height of cube T is 24 cm, so the height of cube S is 24 cm/2 = 12 cm.

The surface area of a given cone is 1,885.7143 square inches. What is the slang height?

kap26 [50]

Answer:

If $r >> h$ , the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone (A) is given by this formula:

$A = \pi \cdot r^{2} + 2\pi\cdot s$

Where:

$r$ - Base radius of the cone, measured in inches.

$s$ - Slant height, measured in inches.

In addition, the slant height is calculated by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

$s = \sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}$

Where $h$ is the altitude of the cone, measured in inches. If $r >> h$ , then:

$s \approx r$

And:

$A = \pi\cdot r^{2} +2\pi\cdot r$

Given that $A = 1885.7143\,in^{2}$ , the following second-order polynomial is obtained:

$\pi \cdot r^{2} + 2\pi \cdot r -1885.7143\,in^{2} = 0$

Roots can be found by the Quadratic Formula:

$r_{1,2} = \frac{-2\pi \pm \sqrt{4\pi^{2}-4\pi\cdot (-1885.7143)}}{2\pi}$

$r_{1,2} \approx -1\,in \pm 24.521\,in$

$r_{1} \approx 23.521\,in \,\wedge\,r_{2}\approx -25.521\,in$

As radius is a positive unit, the first root is the only solution that is physically reasonable. Hence, the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.

MATCH THE number WITH ITS OPPOSITE

ycow [4]

To match the number with the opposite, we are flipping the sign. If the sign is originally a negative, it would become a positive, and vice versa.
