Solving proportions is simply a matter of stating the ratios as fractions, setting the two fractions equal to each other, cross-multiplying, and solving the resulting equation. You'll probably start out by just solving proportions, like this: Find the unknown value in the proportion: 2 : x = 3 : 9.
Use the compound interest formula: A=P(1+i)^t.
P is the initial amount of the drug, 0.3ml.
i is - 0.0035.
t is in seconds.
You'll get:
A=0.3(1-0.0035)^t.
Sub in any value on t to find out how many ml are left t seconds after injection.
The 0.65 second injection time does not seem to be relevant as the question clearly states that the exponential decay starts AFTER the injection is completed.
Answer:
part 1) 0.78 seconds
part 2) 1.74 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
At about what time did the ball reach the maximum?
Let
h ----> the height of a ball in feet
t ---> the time in seconds
we have

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)
The vertex represent a maximum
so
The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the time when the ball reach the maximum
Find the vertex
Convert the equation in vertex form
Factor -16

Complete the square


Rewrite as perfect squares

The vertex is the point 
therefore
The time when the ball reach the maximum is 25/32 sec or 0.78 sec
step 2
At about what time did the ball reach the minimum?
we know that
The ball reach the minimum when the the ball reach the ground (h=0)
For h=0



square root both sides


the positive value is

The <em>correct answer</em> is:
6 balloons.
Explanation:
Let x represent the number of balloons purchased.
We will call the function for Clowns R Fun c(x):
c(x) = 1.25x+6
We will call the function for Singing Balloons s(x):
s(x) = 1.95x+2
We want the amount for Clowns R Fun, c(x) to be less:
c(x) < s(x)
1.25x+6 < 1.95x+2
Subtract 1.25x from each side:
1.25x+6-1.25x < 1.95x+2-1.25x
6 < 0.7x+2
Subtract 2 from each side:
6-2 < 0.7x+2-2
4 < 0.7x
Divide each side by 0.7:
4/0.7 < 0.7x/0.7
5.7 < x
x > 5.7
She must buy more than 5.7 balloons; the next integer up is 6. She must buy 6 or more balloons.
