In 2019-2020, North Carolina spent $10,632 per student. The per-pupil spending has decreased at 6% per year. If this continues, what will be the per-pupil spending in 4 years?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The per-pupil spending will be approximate $8,300 in 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Model

The exponential function is often used to model natural growing or decaying processes, where the change is proportional to the current quantity.

An exponential decaying function is expressed as:

[tex]C(t)=C_o\cdot(1-r)^t[/tex]

Where:

C(t) is the actual value of the function at time t

Co is the initial value of C at t=0

r is the decaying rate, expressed in decimal

The statistics of the years 2019-2020 at North Carolina indicate initial spending of Co=10,632 per student. The decaying rate is r=6% = 0.06 per year, thus the exponential model is:

[tex]C(t)=10,632\cdot(1-0.06)^t[/tex]

[tex]C(t)=10,632\cdot(0.94)^t[/tex]

where t is expressed in years.

We are required to know the expected spending for t= 4 years. Substitute t=4:

[tex]C(t)=10,632\cdot(0.94)^4\approx 8,300[/tex]

The per-pupil spending will be approximate $8,300 in 4 years

Solve the quadratic equation below by completing the square. What are the solutions?

A. X= -8+sqrt 7
B. X= 8 + sqrt 7
C. X= 8 +sqrt 35
D. X= -8+sqrt 35

Answers

By completing squares we will see that the solutions are:

[tex]x =\pm \sqrt{35} + 8[/tex]

How to complete squares?

Here we have the quadratic equation:

[tex]x^2 - 16x + 50 = 21[/tex]

We can rewrite it as:

[tex]x^2 - 2*8*x + 50 - 21 = 0\\\\x^2 - 2*8*x + 29= 0[/tex]

Then we must have a 8² term to complete squares, then we need to add and subtract 35.

[tex]x^2 - 2*8*x + 29 +35 - 35= 0\\\\(x - 8)^2 - 35 = 0\\\\(x - 8)^2 = 35[/tex]

Now we can solve this:

[tex]x =\pm \sqrt{35} + 8[/tex]

Sydney and Tom each count the number of steps it takes for them to walk to school. Sydney counts a 4-digit number of steps. The total of Sydney's steps and Tom's steps in also a 4-digit number of steps. What is the greatest possible digit in the thousands place for Sydney's steps or for Tom's steps? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information provided we can say that the largest number of steps for either Sydney or Tom would be 8999 making the digit in the thousands place an 8. This is because both Sydney and Tom counted 4 digits meaning the lowest number for either of them is 1000 steps. Since the question also states that the combination/total of both their steps is still a 4 digit number, this means that the total must not exceed 9,999 steps. Therefore if the minimum is 1000 the maximum can only be 8,999 before going into the 5 digit number of steps.

The ratio of adult cats to kittens at a pet care center on was 5:2 . There were 12 kittens there that day. Thursday ​, 38 adult cats were at the pet care center. What is the difference between the number of adult cats at the pet care center on thursday and monday?

Answers

Answer:

8 adult cats

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of adult cats to kitten at the pet care center was 5:2

No of adult cats= 5x

No of kitten cats= 2x

Since there were 12 kittens that day

2x= 12

x= 12/2

x= 6

Number of adult cats = 5x

= 5 × 6

= 30 adult cats

Therefore since there were 38 adult cats in the pet center in Thursday then the difference between the number of adult cats in Thursday and Monday can be calculated as follows

= 38-30

= 8 adult cats

5(x – 10) = 30 – 15x

If f(x) = 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x -26 and x-1 is a factor of f(x) find all of the zeros of f(x) algebraically.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First confirm that x = 1 is one of the zeros.

f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 14(1)^2 + 38(1) - 26

f(1) = 2 - 14 + 38 - 26

f(1) = -12 + 38 = + 26

f(1) = 26 - 26

f(1) = 0

=========================

next perform a long division

x -1  || 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x - 26 || 2x^2 - 12x + 26

          2x^3 - 2x^2

          ===========

                    -12x^2 + 28x

                     -12x^2 +12x

                     ==========

                                  26x -26

                                  26x - 26

                                 ========

                                      0

Now you can factor 2x^2 - 12x + 26

                                 2(x^2 - 6x + 13)

The discriminate of the quadratic is negative. (36 - 4*1*13) = - 16

So you are going to get a complex result.

x = -(-6) +/- sqrt(-16)

A three-digit personal identification number is chosen using the digits 1–9. The digits cannot be repeated. What is the approximate probability that the first digit will be 6? 0.00595 0.03571 0.11111 0.66667

Answers

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:it’s the 3rd ans on edge

The question is an illustration of probability, and the approximate probability that the first digit will be 6 is (c) 0.11111

How to determine the probability?

The number of digits in the pin = 3

Given that each digit cannot be repeated, the total number of pin is:

Pin = 9 * 8 * 7

Evaluate

Pin = 504

If the first digit is 6, the number of pins is:

First digit6 = 1 * 8 * 7

First digit6 = 56

So, the probability that the first digit is 6 is:

P = 56/504

Evaluate

P = 0.1111

Hence, the approximate probability that the first digit will be 6 is (c) 0.11111

Given the point (1, 2) and a slope of 4, write the equation in point slope form.

Answers

Answer:

y - 2 = 4(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use point slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope:

Plug in the slope and the given point:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 4(x - 1)

So, the equation in point slope form is y - 2 = 4(x - 1)

A circuit board manufacturer rejects a 100-ohm resistor if its measured resistance is 0.15 ohm or more away from 100 ohms. Resistors A and B are rejected. Resistor A's resistance differs from 100 ohms by +0.15 ohm. Resistor B's resistance differs from 100 ohms by -0.78 ohm. Which resistor has a resistance closer to 100 ohms?

Answers

Answer:

Resistor A has a resistance closer to 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know which of the two resistors have a resistance closer to 100 ohms

To know the resistance closer to 100, we need to know the absolute value of the resistances

-0.78 has a resistance of 100 - 0.78 = 99.22

The 15 ohms resistor has resistance of 100 + 0.15 = 100.15

Since 100.15 is closer to 100 than 99.22, due to the absolute value of both, then the +0.15 ohm resistor is closer to 100

Audrey and Addy also went hiking up Mount Olympus. Audrey's distance in June was 2.95 miles and for July 2 5/8 miles. Addy went 2.85 miles in June and 3 3/8 miles in July. How much farther did Addy hike than Audrey in both June and July? *Answer will be in decimal form

Answers

Answer:

Addy hiked 0.65 miles more than Audrey.

Step-by-step explanation:

In June we have the following distance traveled by Audrey (Au) and Addy (Ad):

[tex] Au_{Jun} = 2.95 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{Jun} = 2.85 miles [/tex]

And, in July we have:

[tex] Au_{Jul} = 2 + 5/8 miles = 21/8 miles = 2.625 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{Jul} = 3 + 3/8 miles = 27/8 miles = 3.375 miles [/tex]

Hence in June and July, they traveled:

[tex] Au_{T} = Au_{Jun} + Au_{Jul} = 2.95 miles + 2.625 miles = 5.575 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{T} = Ad_{Jun} + Ad_{Jul} = 2.85 miles + 3.375 miles = 6.225 miles [/tex]

Now, we can find how much farther did Addy hike than Audrey in both June and July:    

[tex] d = Ad_{T} - Au_{T} = 6.225 miles - 5.575 miles = 0.65 miles [/tex]

Therefore, Addy hiked 0.65 miles more than Audrey.
