Answer:

f(8) = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a pattern in the sequence. It might be an <u>arithmetic sequence</u> (always adds or subtract by a certain number), or a <u>geometric sequence</u> (always multiplies or divides by a certain number).

To find a pattern in this decreasing sequence, we find either the common difference or the common divisor of each pair of consecutive numbers.

• 100 - 95 = 5

• 95 - 90 = 5

• 90 - 85 = 5

• 85 - 80 = 5

• 80 - 75 = 5

Now, we know that this is an <u>arithmetic sequence</u>, and the common difference is <u>5</u>.

To calculate f(8), we find the 8th term in the sequence. We can do that by counting the terms in the sequence and using the common difference, 5, that we found, to continue the sequence.

• f(1) = 100

• f(2) = 95

• f(3) = 90

     ......

• f(7) = 70

• f(8) = 65

Nikolay [14]

The system of inequalities models correctly the number of cookies is c + b ≥ 125 and 8c + 12b ≤ 2000

Let c represent the number of cookies and let b represent the number of brownies.

Since Genie want to make more than 125 cookies and brownies altogether, hence this is given by:

c + b ≥ 125   (1)

Also, Genie has a total of 2,000 grams of flour, hence:

8c + 12b ≤ 2000  (2)

Therefore the system of inequalities models correctly the number of cookies is c + b ≥ 125 and 8c + 12b ≤ 2000

For selected years, the national health care expenditure, in billion of dollors can be modelled by H=29.57e^0.0970t, remains acu
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The correct answer is 54.76 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The national health care expenditure (H) , in billion of dollars is modeled by

H = 29.57 × e^{0.0970t}.

To measure the time before which national health expenditure reach 6000 billion dollars.

Thus putting the value of H = 6000 in the above modeled equation we get,

⇒ 6000 = 29.57 × e^{0.0970t}

⇒ \frac{6000}{29.57} = e^{0.0970t}

⇒ 202.908 = e^{0.0970t}

Taking logarithm with the base of e (㏑) both sides we get,

⇒ ㏑ 202.908 = ㏑ e^{0.0970t}

⇒ ㏑ 202.908 = 0.0970 × t

⇒ 0.0970 × t = 5.312

⇒ t = \frac{5.312}{0.0970}

⇒ t = 54.76.

Thus the total time required before which national health expenditure reach 6000 billion dollars is 54.76 years.

Solve the inequality 16 &gt; -2u
Ksju [112]
To solve this inequality, you need to isolate the value of u. To do this, divide both sides by -2. When you do this, keep in mind that when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative in an inequality, you MUST flip the sign, so your answer would be -8 < u or u > -8.
