On 1st September 2014 there were 5400 trees planted in a wood.
On 1st September 2015, only 5184 of these trees were still alive.
It is assumed that the number of trees still alive is given by N = art
where / is the number of trees still alive t years after 1st September 2014.
a) Write down the value

c) Show that on 1st September 2040
the number of trees still alive is predicted
o have decreased by over 65% compared
with September 2014.

b) Show that r = 0.96​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. a = 5400

2. r = 0.96

3. Percentage decrement = 65.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

N = ar^t

Solving (a): Write down the value of a

a implies the first term

And from the question, we understand that the initial number of trees is 5400.

Hence,

a = 5400

Solving (b): Show that r = 0.96

Using

N = ar^t

When a = 5400, t = 1 i.e. the first year and N = 5184

Substitute these values in the above expression

5184 = 5400 * r¹

5184 = 5400 * r

5184 = 5400r

Solve for r

r = 5184/5400

r = 0.96

Solving (c): Show that the trees has decreased by over 65% in 2040

First, we need to calculate number of years (t) in 2040

t = 2040 - 2014

t = 26

Substitute 26 for t, 5400 for a and 0.96 for r in N = ar^t to get the number of trees left

N = 5400 * 0.96^26

N = 1868.29658019

N = 1868 (approximated)

Next, we calculate the percentage change as thus:

%Change = (Final - Initial)/Initial * 100%

Where the initial number of trees =5400 and final = 1868

%Change = (1868 - 5400)/5400 * 100%

%Change = -3532/5400 * 100%

%Change = -3532%/54

%Change = -65.4%

The negative sign indicates a decrements or reduction.

Hence, percentage decrement = 65.4% and this is over 65%

Snow Dome Ski Resort has 65 inches of snow. It is currently snowing there at a rate of 1 inch per hour. Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort has 74 inches of snow. Currently it is snowing there at a rate of ½ inch per hour.

a) Write equations that show the amount of snow at each resort as a function of the number of hours of snow.

b) If the snow continues at this rate, when will Snow Dome have more snow than Mt. Winterpark? Show your solution process clearly.

Answers

Answer:

a) Equation for Snow Dome Ski Resort:

[tex]I_s = 65+t[/tex]

Equation for Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort:

[tex]I_m = 74+\frac{t}{2}[/tex]

b) After 19 hours, Snow dome will have more snow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial snow at Snow Dome Ski Resort = 65 inches

Snowing rate at Snow Dome Ski Resort = 1 inch per hour

Initial snow at Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort = 74 inches

Initial snow at Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inch per hour

a) To write equations that show amount of snow at each resort.

Let the time in hours be represented by [tex]t[/tex].

Snow increased in [tex]t[/tex] hours by snowing at Snow Dome Ski Resort = [tex]1\times t = t[/tex] inches per hour

Snow increased in [tex]t[/tex] hours by snowing at Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times t = \frac{t}{2}[/tex] inches per hour

Equation for Snow Dome Ski Resort:

[tex]I_s = 65+t[/tex]

Equation for Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort:

[tex]I_m = 74+\frac{t}{2}[/tex]

b) Time at which Snow Dome has more snow.

Using the above equations, we can write the following inequality:

[tex]65+t>74+\dfrac{t}{2}\\\Rightarrow t-\dfrac{t}{2}>74-65\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{2}>9\\\Rightarrow t>18\ hours[/tex]

After 18 hours have passed, they will have equal amount of snow.

After 19 hours, Snow dome will have more snow.

Harriet used the work below to determine the percent equivalent to One-eighth.

Step 2: 8 divided by 100 = 0.08
Step 3: 0.08 times 1 = 0.08
Step 4: 0.08 percent

What was Harriet’s error?
In Step 1, she set up the proportions incorrectly.
In Step 2, she divided 8 by 100 instead of 100 by 8, so she cannot multiply the numerator by the factor.
In Step 3, she multiplied the numerator instead of the denominator by the factor.
In Step 4, she forgot to move the decimal.

During one month, a homeowner used 600 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of 390. The next month, 400 units of electricity and 250 units of gas were used for a total cost of $326. Find the cost per unit of gas.

Answers

Answer:

cost per unit of gas i.e y= 0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost per unit of electricity = x

and cost per unit of gas = y

The equations required will be:

[tex]600x+100y=390 ---- eq(1)\\400x+250y=326----eq(2)[/tex]

We need to find value of y i.e cost per unit of gas

Solving equations to find value of y

We will use elimination method

Multiply equation 1 by 4 and 2 by 6

[tex]2400x+400y=1560 ---- eq(1)\\2400x+1500y=1956----eq(2)[/tex]

Subtracting eq 1 from eq 2

[tex]2400x+1500y=1956----eq(2)\\2400x+400y=1560 ---- eq(1)\\- \ \ \ \ \ - \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -\\----------------\\1100y=396\\y=\frac{396}{1100}\\y=0.36[/tex]

Solving we get y=0.36

Putting value of y in eq(1) to find value of x

[tex]600x+100y=390\\600x+100(0.36)=390\\600x+36=390\\600x=390-36\\600x=354\\x=\frac{354}{600}\\x=0.59[/tex]

Value of x = 0.59

But we need to find only cost of unit of gas i.e y

So, cost per unit of gas i,e y= 0.36

O A. 1.75
O B.0.762
C. 84
D. 840

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 10.5 km = 10500 m

Time, t = 8 minutes = 480 s

We need to find the unit rate of a train motion. The distance divided by time is equal to the speed of the object.

[tex]\text{Rate}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{time}}\\\\=\dfrac{10500\ m}{480\ s}\\\\=21.87\ m/s[/tex]

So, the unit rate is 21.87 m/s.

(b) At what time did Ruth get home?

Answers

Answer:

She got home at 12:35 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

She got to the library at 10:30 am.

She spent 50 minutes there

10:30 + 50 mins can be seperated to 30 mins and 20 mins

So, 30 mins goes to 11 and 20 mins more equals 11:20.

She took 1 1/4 hours to get home

1 hour more means 12:20, and since 1/4 of an hour is 15 mins,

12:20 + 15 = 12:35 P.M

How is energy stored in food? Is the form of energy stored in food different from the form stored in gasoline? Explain. Gravity and drag both reduce the maximum altitude that a rocket can reach, increasing the cost of rocket flights. This study hypothesizes that rockets with a smoother surface will experience less drag and reach higher altitudes, given the same thrust as rockets with rough surfaces. To test this hypothesis, three identical model rockets were constructed and given finishes with varying degrees of surface smoothness: roughed with 40-grit sandpaper, unfinished, and glossed. Each rocket was outfitted with B5-4 motors and flown ten times. Flight results support the initial hypothesis, with the roughened-surface rocket reaching the apogee point at the lowest altitude and the glossed-surface rocket reaching it at the highest. In conclusion, the findings suggest that smoother surface finishes can reduce the drag force enough to affect altitude, thereby potentially increasing rocket efficiency and reducing fuel costs.
