A plastic sun visor allows light to pass through but reduces the intensity of the light. the intensity is reduced by 5% if the p

irinina [24]

Answer: The equation is f(x) = $0.95^{x}$ ;

The piece of plastic has to have 10mm of thickness.

Step-by-step explanation: It is known that with 1 mm of thickness, 5% of the intensity is reduced. So, 95% of the light is transmitted.

For each milimetre added, "more" 95% of light is transmitted.

For example, if another milimetre of plastic is added, another 0.95 of light is transmitted:

0.95.0.95 = 0.9025 of light reach the visor

So, the model that relate thickness of plastic and intensity of light is:

f(x) = $0.95^{x}$

in which:

f(x) is the intensity of light;

x is thickness in mm;

Using the equation, the thickness necessary to reduce intensity to 60% is:

f(x) = $0.95^{x}$

0.6 = $0.95^{x}$

log 0.6 = log $0.95^{x}$

x. log (0.95) = log (0.6)

x = $\frac{log 0.6}{log 0.95}$

x = 9.95

x ≈ 10

The thickness necessary to reduce intensity of light to 60% is 10mm.

A dry cleaner charges $18 to clean 4 pairs of pants. How many pairs of pants can be cleaned for $27 at the same rate?

blondinia [14]

4 pairs of pants for $18.

Divide price by quantity to get the cost of 1 pair of pants:

18 / 4 = 4.50 per pair.

Divide 27 by 4.50 to find number of pairs:

27 / 4.5 = 6

6 pairs of pants can be cleaned for $27.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The perimeter of the base of the birdhouse is 36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Chase is building a birdhouse in the shape of a regular polygon. He knows that the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle and the length of a diagonal that passes through the center is 12. What is the perimeter of the base of the birdhouse?

step 1

Find the measure of the interior angle

Let

x ---> the measure of the interior angle

y ---> the measure of the exterior angle

Remember that

the sum of the interior and exterior angle in any polygon is equal to 180 degrees

so

$x+y=180^o$ ----> equation A
