In July 2005, the internet was linked by a global network of about 353 million host computers. The number of host computers has

been growing approximately exponentially and was about 37.1 million in July 1998. (a) Find a formula for the number, N, of internet host computers (in millions of computers) as an exponential function of t, the number of years since July 1998, using the continuous exponential model N ( t )

Answer:

N(t) = 37.1(1.38)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function:

An exponential function has the following format:

N(t) = N(0)(1+r)^t

In which N(0) is the initial value and r is the rate of change, as a decimal.

37.1 million in July 1998

This means that N(0) = 37.1

So

N(t) = 37.1(1+r)^t

In July 2005, the internet was linked by a global network of about 353 million host computers.

This is 2005 - 1998 = 7 years, so N(7) = 353. We use this to find r.

N(t) = 37.1(1+r)^t

353 = 37.1(1+r)^7

(1+r)^7 = \frac{353}{37.1}

\sqrt[7]{(1+r)^7} = \sqrt[7]{\frac{353}{37.1}}

1 + r = (\frac{353}{37.1})^{\frac{1}{7}}

1 + r = 1.38

The formula is:

N(t) = 37.1(1.38)^t

sergij07 [2.7K]
If you are given $10 every 3.5 hours and you want to find the unit rate per hour, you want to solve for how much money you make every hour. You do this by dividing the $10 by the 3.5 hours, which will result in about $2.86 per hour. (This is a rounded value)

(Picture) MULTIPLYING POLYNOMIALS AND SIMPLIFYING EXPRESSIONS PLEASE HELP!!!!
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

  • -32x² +8x -8
  • See below about the process

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplified expression is ...

  3x(x -12x) +3x² -2(x -2)²

  = 3x(-11x) +3x² -2(x² -4x +4) . . . . . simplify contents of parentheses

  = -33x² +3x² -2x² +8x -8 . . . . . . . .eliminate parentheses

  = (-33 +3 -2)x² +8x -8 . . . . . . . . . . group the coefficients of like terms

  = -32x² +8x -8

A square pyramid has a base area of 36ft2 the pyramids total surface area is 144ft2 what is the area of each triangular face?
JulijaS [17]
So a square pyramid is like the pyramids in egypt so
surface area of pyhraid=base+4 triangles
surface area=144
baswe=36
subsitute
144=36+4 times triangles
subtract 36 from both sides
108=4 triggles
divide by 4
27=trignels

the area of 1 triangle is 27 ft^2
