Write a function modeling this debt situation if the initial debt in 2009 was

Mathematics

Karolina [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

To solve this, we are going to use the standard decay function where

is the final amount remaining after  years of decay is the initial amount is the decay rate in decimal form

is the decay factor

is the time in years

I will tell Greece to decrease their expending by 25%

To find our decay factor , we are going to convert the rate from percentage to decimal; to do it, we are going to divide the rate by 100%

Decay factor =

Decay factor =

Decay factor = (0.75)

We can conclude that our decay factor is (0.75)

c. To solve this, we are going to use the standard decay function  from our previous point.

where

is the final amount remaining after  years of decay is the initial amount is the decay rate in decimal form

is the decay factor

is the time in years

We know from our problem that the initial debt in 2009 was $500 billion, so ; we also know from our previous calculation that our decay factor is (0.75), so lets replace those values in our function:

We can conclude that the function that model this debt situation is: .

Greece will be debt-free when heir debt is zero. Translating this into our model, Greece will be debt-free when . Since we will need logarithms to find the time , and the logarithm of zero is not defined, we are going to use a small value for , so we can use logarithms to find .

Let . After all, a $1 debt for a country is practically the same as being debt-free.

Now, we can solve for  using logarithms:

We can conclude that, with me in charge, Greece will be debt free after 93.6 years. I won't reconsider my answer b. Even tough 93.6 years is a lot of time, decreasing the public expense more than 25% will have worse consequences for the economy of the country than the debt itself.

If the triangle on the grid below is translated by using the (x,y) -> (x+5, y-2) rule, what will be the coordinates of B'?
Art [367]
We know that
the coordinates of point B ( -5,0)

the translation has the following rule
(x,y)--------> (x+5, y-2)
so
(-5,0)-----> (-5+5,0-2)-----> (0,-2)

the answer is

A ladder is leaning against a vertical wall. The distance from the top of the ladder to the base of the wall is 17 feet. The dis
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

18.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

-use the formula C^2 = A^2 + B^2 for a right triangle, which is made by the ladder and the wall.

-let the ladder be C, the wall be a, the base to the bottom be b.

-substitude into the equation, which will leave us with:

C^2 = 17^2 + 7^2

C^2 = 289 + 49

C^2 = 338

C = square root of 338, which is 18.4 feet!

find the equation of a straight line passing through the point (3,3) which is perpendicular to the line y=-1/2x-4
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{2}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2} } = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 6 = - 3

y = 2x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line

I will give brainliest to first answer
dangina [55]
No, she is incorrect (in my opinion) i think the answer is :
1/2 m - 4 = 5
4+5 = 9 so
half of 18= 9
so the answer is 18?
