Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A.P(t) = Po (1 + r)^t

P(t) = 1200( 1 + 0.024)^t

B. 1417 termites

Step-by-step explanation:

Rosanne and Jimmy are looking to purchase a house. They found one that they like, but the inspection report showed that there was a problem. The foundation has termites. The report states that the foundation of a house has 1200 termites. The termites grow at a rate of about 2.4% each day.

A. Formulate an equation in exponential form that represents the termite situation.

The formula for exponential growth or increase =

P(t) = Po (1 + r)^t

Where:

P(t) = Population growth after time t

P(o) = Initial Population = 1200 termites

r = Growth rate = 2.4% = 0.024

t = Time in days

Hence, the equation in exponential form that represents the termite situation is given as:

P(t) = 1200( 1 + 0.024)^t

B. The extermination is scheduled out for one week from the date of the report. Use your equation to determine how many termites will be in the home at the time of the extermination.

The time of extermination = 1 week

1 week = 7 days

Hence,

t = 7 days

P(t) = Po (1 + r)^t

P(7) = 1200( 1 + 0.024)⁷

P(7) = 1200(1.024)⁷

P(7) = 1416.7099449 termites

Approximately

= 1417 termites

Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation.
( _ , 0 )

Answers

Answer:

(4y/3, 0) or if there are no options, it's probably (0, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 5x - y

So we are trying to find the missing value in the solution (_, 0)

We are looking for the x-intercept/root if the coordinate is in this way:  (_, 0)

So to find the root, We are solving for x

2x + 3y = 5x - y

First, subtract 5x from bth sides

2x + 3y - 5x = 5x - y - 5x

2x + 3y - 5x = -y

Add like terms

-3x + 3y = -y

Now, subtract 3y from both sides

-3x + 3y - 3y = -y - 3y

-3x = -4y

Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3 = -4y/-3

x = -4y/-3

We are not done yet because the answer above is not quite right. A negative number divided by a negative number results in a positive number.

So x = 4y/3

Now that we found x, we can input it to the coordinate

(4y/3, 0)

I put it on Sesmos graphing calculator and the answer seems to be (0, 0)

Answers

Answer:

Parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required lines be y-x = 5 and y = x-1

If y-x = 5

y = x + 5

The slope m = 1

For the line y = x - 1

The slope m is also 1

Since the slope of both lines are the same, hence both liens are parallel

Danielle constructs a scale model of a building with a rectangular base. Her model is 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width. The scale on the model is 1 inch = 47 feet. What is the actual area, in square feet, of the base of the building? in ft2

Answers

Answer: The actual area of the base of the building = 4418 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of model: 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width.

The scale on the model is 1 inch = 47 feet.

Actual length = 2 x (47 feet) = 94 feet

Actual width = 1 x 47 feet = 47 feet

Actual area of base of building  = (Actual length) x (Actual width)

= 94 x 47 square feet

= 4418 square feet

Hence, the actual area of the base of the building = 4418 square feet.

12.) Rachel is comparing the cost of two parking garages. Garage A charges a flat fee of $6 to park plus $0.50 per hour.
Garage B charges a flat fee of $2 to park plus $1 per hour. Write an equation then find after how many hours will the
cost at garage A and garage B be the same? What will that cost be? (4 points total)

Answers

Answer:

The equation: 6 + 0.5x = 2 + 1x

How many hours till the cost is the same: 8 hours

What will the cost be: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

6 + 0.5x = 2 + 1x

subtract 0.5x from both sides

6 = 2 + 0.5x

subtract 2 from both sides

4 = 0.5x

divide both sides by 0.5

x = 8

Lets check our work:

Garage A:

6 + 0.5(8)

6 + 4 = 10

Garage B:

2 + 1(8)

2 + 8 = 10

After 8 hours the price for both garages will be equal at $10

Ms. Green has 18 pencils at her desk. Students borrow some of the pencils, and 6 pencils are left at the end of the school day. How many pencils were borrowed?

x - 6 = 18
18 - x = 6
18 + 6 = x

Answers

Answer:

18-x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

because

if you have eighteen and some were borrowed and 6 were left so it will be subtracted

Answer:

18 - x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In any equation x is the unkown you are trying to figure out.

In a word-problem-solving question its helpful to set out what you know and what you dont know:

You know the original number of pens = 18

You know the final number of pens = 6

You dont know how many pens were taken.

Therefore x is the difference between 18 and 6.

18 pens take away x pens is equal to 6

hence 18 - x =6

convert 40% to a decimal by dividing by 100 = 0.4

360 x 0.4 = 144 people voted for Earnhardt

(c) converting Petty's percentage to a decimal, we get 0.13. 360 x 0.13 = 46.8, or 47 people, not 65.

Waltrip's percentage, 0.18 x 360 = 64.8, or 65 people.
