Sales of a certain product are declining at a rate proportional to the amount of sales. If at the end of the first year the sales have declined by 22%, then how many years will have passed (since the beginning of the first year) when sales become only 31% of their original value? Express your answer as a decimal, correct to within 0.001 years.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "6.093 years".

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of decline in sales in [tex]22\%[/tex] per year.

The starting sales is 100 units:

Using compounding formula:

[tex]\to 100 \times (1-\frac{22}{100})^t=22\% \ of \ 100\\\\\to 100 \times (\frac{100-22}{100})^t=\frac{22}{100} \times \ 100\\\\\to (\frac{78}{100})^t=\frac{22}{100}\\\\\to 0.78^t=0.22\\\\\text{taking \log on both the sides}\\\\[/tex]

taking log on both sides

[tex]\to \log_e \ 0.78^t= \log_e\ 0.22\\\\\to t \log_e \ 0.78= \log_e\ 0.22\\\\\to t = \frac{\log_e 0.22}{\log_e 0.78}\\\\[/tex]

      [tex]= \frac{-0.6575}{-0.1079}\\\\= \frac{0.6575}{0.1079}\\\\=6.093[/tex]

well, let's take a look at two independent events

A)  the potato is hot

B) it's raining

now, the potato could be hot whether is raining or not, A is totally independent of B, so what's the probability of "the potato being hot, GIVEN that it's raining" P(A | B)  is the same as if it wasn't raining, or P(A), the fact that B occurred, doesn't affect A at all, the potato is hot regardless, rain or not.  So P(A | B) = P(A).

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Answers

Answer:  B. F(53)

This is because the nth term is found by adding the previous two terms

F(n) = nth term

F(n-1) = term just before the nth term

F(n-2) = term before the F(n-1) term

F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2)

We can re-index values of n to say this equivalent statement

F(n+2) = F(n+1) + F(n)

Based on either equation mentioned, adding F(51) and F(52) will get us F(53). In other words, the 51st and 52nd terms add to the 53rd term.

First one: shows a square within the two angles which indicates that the angles form a right angle ( 90 degree angle ) meaning that they are complementary angles

Second: the angles add up to equal 90 ( 50 + 40 = 90 ) hence they are complementary angles

Third one: the angles form a straight line. Angles that form a straight line add up to equal 180 and are known as supplementary angles

Fourth: the angles shown add up to 90 ( 65 + 25 = 90) hence they are complementary angles

Answers

Answer:

-x²-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing I noticed is that the first and second point has the same y intercept despite being only 2 x coordiantes away. This must mean that the vertex's x coordiante is probably (-1,4)

Because the vertex is probably (-1,4) the graph must also be concave down because the point (-4,-5) is below it

writing this in vertex form we get

-a(x+1)²+4

Where a is some constant

solve for a by plugging in (0,3)

3= -a(0+1)²+4

3= -a+4

-1= -a

a=1

therefore the equation looks like

-(x+1)²+4

expanding this so that it's in stantard form...

-(x²+x+x+1)+4

-x²-2x+3

According to the question every 15 biscuits is 50g it need 50g of sugar and flour is 3 times the amount it needs for 15 biscuits so 50*3=150 now we know 15 biscuits need 150g of flour so 30 requires 300 and 300g +300g is equal to 600g of flour.

Answer:

600 g of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Deon needs 50 g of sugar to make 15 biscuits, and she is going to make 60 biscuits, then she will need 200 g of sugar, since 60/15 is 4.

If the amount of flour she needs is equal to the amount of sugar multiplied by three, or 3x, if x is the amount of sugar, then she will need 200 x 3 g of flour.

Therefore, she will need 600 g of flour.

The price of an item decreased by 20% to $200. Then later the price decreased again from $200 to $150. What is the percent of decrease from the original price to the final price $150?​

Answers

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so first find the og price:

100% - 20% = 80%

so 80% = 200

let the 100% be x:

x * 0.8 = 200

x= 250

100% = 250

(difference/ og price) * 100% = the percentage decrease/ increase

(250-150/250)* 100% = 40%

OR

((the final price/ og price) * 100%) - 100%

((150/250)*100%) - 100% = 40%

There was a 40% decrease from the og price to the final price of 150.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line?

Point: (1,1)
Line: y=15x+45

Answers

Answer:

y= -1/15x + 16/15

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines are perpendicular to each other that means their slopes are the negative reciprocals of each other.

So that means if a line has has a slope of 6, a line perpendicular to that line will have a slope of -1/6.

(a reciprocal is when the fraction is flipped over)

In this case, the negative reciprocal of 15 would be -1/15. So the slope of the line that is perpendicular would be -1/15.

The equation we would have so far for that line would be: y=-1/15x+b

Now we have to find the 'b' or the y intercept, which we can get by plugging in the point that was given (1,1), which is on that line.

Which gives us 1=-1/15(1)+b.

1=-1/15+b

1+1/15=b

Then you solve for b and get b= 16/15.

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is y= -1/15x + 16/15.

The equation of the line that passes through the point (1, 1) and is perpendicular to y = 15x + 45 is

y = 15x - 14.

What is an equation of a line?

The equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

Example:

The slope of the line y = 2x + 3 is 2.

The slope of a line that passes through (1, 2) and (2, 3) is 1.

We have,

Let the equation of a line is y = mx + c.

The line is perpendicular to y = 15x + 45.

y = 15x + 45 is in the form of y = mx + c

This means,

Slope = 15

m = 15

The line passes through the point (1, 1) = (x, y).

This means,

y = mx + c

1 = 15 x 1 + c

1 = 15 + c

c = 1 - 15

c = -14

The equation of the line is y = 15x - 14.

Thus,

The equation of the line that passes through the point (1, 1) and is perpendicular to y = 15x + 45 is

y = 15x - 14.
