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

A store marks up the price of a sweater by $7.35. The total cost of the sweater is 25.65. How much does the store pay for the sw
UNO [17]

Answer: the store paid $18.3 for the sweater

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount that the store paid for the sweater.

A store marks up the price of a sweater by $7.35. This means that the new or current price of the sweater at the store would be

7.35 + x

The total cost of the sweater is 25.65. Therefore, an equation to represent the problem would be

7.35 + x = 25.65

Subtracting 7.35 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

7.35 + x - 7.35 = 25.65 - 7.35

x = $18.3

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

x\geq \$6.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the cost of each ticket

we know that

3x\geq 20 ----> inequality that represent the situation

solve for x

Divide by 3 both sides

x\geq 20/3

x\geq \$6.67
