Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r/n)^ nt

Where

A represents the value after t years.

n represents the period for which the decrease in value is calculated

t represents the number of years.

P represents the value population.

r represents rate of decrease.

From the information given,

P = 23000

r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08

n = 1

Therefore, the exponential decay function described in this situation is

A = 23000(1 - 0.08/n)1)^ 1 × t

A = 23000(0.92)^t

If A = 15000, then

15000 = 23000(0.92)^t

0.92^t = 15000/23000 = 0.6522

Taking log of both sides to base 10

Log 0.92^t = log 0.6522

tlog 0.92 = log 0.6522

- 0.036t = - 0.1856

t = - 0.1856/- 0.036

t = 5 years to the nearest year

Given: △PTC
Natalka [10]
Given the the two angles find the missing angle of P which is 30 degrees.

Since angle P and C are identical their sides are congruent.

The hypotenuse, the largest side is PC because it corresponds to angle T

Using Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(PT)^2 + (CT)^2 = (PC)^2
Given that PT is 4 and knowing PT and CT are congruent we can rewrite this
(4)^2 + (4)^2 = (PC)^2
PC = rad(32)

P=100a÷t solve for a
pishuonlain [190]

<u><em>a=1/100pt is the correct answer.</em></u> First you had to multiply by t from both sides of equation, and it gave us, ⇒ pt=100a. And then you had to flip an equation, and it gave us, ⇒100a=pt. You can also divide by one-hundred (100) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, \frac{100a}{100}=\frac{pt}{100}. And finally, and it gave us the answer is a=1/100pt is the final answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie

A weather balloon has a volume of 90.0 L when it is released from sea level 101 kPa. What is the atmospheric pressure on the bal
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

<em><u>The final atmospheric pressure is 5.19 · 10⁴ Pa</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the temperature of the air does not change, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume. In formula,

pV = const.

where p is the gas pressure and V is the volume

The equation can also be rewritten as

p₁ V₁ = p₂ V₂

where in our problem we have:

p₁ = 1.03 · 10₅ Pa is the initial pressure (the atmospheric pressure at sea level)

V₁ = 90.0L is the initial volume

p₂ is the final pressure

V₂ = 175.0L is the final volume

Solving the equation for p2, we find the final pressure:

p₂ = p₁ v₁ divided by V₂ = (1.01 · 10⁵)(90.0) divided by 175.0 = 5.19 · 10⁴ Pa

The graph of f(x) = StartRoot x EndRoot is reflected over the y-axis. Use the graphing calculator to graph this reflection. Whic
labwork [276]

Answer:

<em>(–81, 9), (–36, 6), (–1, 1) </em> are the correct three points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:

f(x) =\sqrt x

Please refer to the attached image.

The green line shows the graph of actual function.

It is reflected over y axis.

The reflected graph is shown in black color in attached image.

When reflected over y axis, the sign of variable x changes from Positive to Negative.

So, the resultant function becomes:

f(x)=\sqrt{-x}

i.e. we will have to give the values of x as negative now.

so, the options in which value of x is negative are the possible answers only.

The possible answers are:

(–81, 9), (–36, 6), (–1, 1) and

(–49, 7), (–18, 9), (–1, 1)

Now, we will check the square root function condition.

In the 2nd option, (–18, 9) does not satisfy the condition.

So, the correct answer is:

<em>(–81, 9), (–36, 6), (–1, 1)</em>

Which expression is equivalent to Negative 2 and one-fourth divided by negative two-thirds? StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction d
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction divided by two-thirds

i.e.

-\dfrac{9}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find equivalent expression to :

Negative 2 and one-fourth divided by negative two-thirds

i.e.

-2\dfrac{1}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3} = ?

We have to convert the the mixed fraction form -2\frac{1}{4} to simpler \frac{p}{q} fraction form.

Let us learn the concept first.

Mixed fraction is combination of a whole number and a fraction.

Expression of the form a\frac{b}{c} have the following understanding:

c is the divider

b is the remainder and

a is the quotient.

To convert mixed fraction to fraction we can use the following:

a\dfrac{b}{c} = \dfrac{a \times c+b}{c}

\therefore -2\dfrac{1}{4} = -\dfrac{(2 \times 4+1)}{4} = -\dfrac{9}{4}

Hence

-2\dfrac{1}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3} = -\dfrac{9}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3}

i.e. the given expression is equivalent to :

Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction divided by two-thirds
