The number of cookies increases at a constant rate for each batch. The increase is 16 cookies every time. This constant increase represents a linear relationship.

We can form an equation for this linear relationship.
The relationship is in the form $y=ax+b$ where

y = number of cookies of 'x' batches
x = number of batches
a = changing rate = 16
b = the number of cookies when the batch is 0

We need to find the value of 'b' and we can achieve this by keep subtracting 16 from 165, which is batch 5 until we get to batch 0.

Batch 5 = 165
Batch 4 = 165 - 16 = 149
Batch 3 = 149 - 16 = 133
Batch 2 = 133 - 16 = 117
Batch 1 = 117 - 16 = 101
Batch 0 = 101 - 16 = 85 ⇒ this is the value of 'b'

So the equation is $y=16x+85$

We will use this equation to work out the number of cookies if we cook another 6 batches.

6 batches more than batch 9 will give us batch number 15

We have: x=15, a=16, b=85

y = 16(15) + 85 = 325 cookies

a vertical pole 10 meters high, casts a shadow 8 meters long. at the same time, a nearby tree casts a shadow 40 meters long. fin

weeeeeb [17]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

- The<span> vertical pole is10 meters high and casts a shadow 8 meters long.
- The tree casts a shadow 40 meters long.

2. Then, by similarity, you have:

x/10=40/8
8x=(10)(40)
8x=400
x=400/8
x=50 meters

3. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: The height of the tree is 50 meters.</span>

If $300 is invested at a rate of 6% per year and is compounded quarterly, how much will the investment be worth in 12 years?

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

$613.04

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Compound Interest Formula:</em>

$A = P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

n = number of compounds

t = time

r = interest rate

P = principle amount (original amount)

A = final amount

Since it's compounded quarterly, that means there will be 4 compounds per year, so n=4. The interest rate has to be converted to the decimal value, and this is done by simply dividing it by 100 to get r=0.06.

Plug Values into equation:

$A = 300(1+\frac{0.06}{4})^{12*4}$
