Answer: the price of a ticket in 2016 is $9.33

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r)^t

Where

A represents the average price of a movie ticket after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial average price of a movie ticket.

r represents rate at which the price increased.

From the information given,

P = 4.22

r = 3.1% = 3.1/100 = 0.031

The exponential function to model this situation is

A = 4.22(1 + 0.031)^t

A = 4.22(1.031)^t

To find the price of a ticket in 2016,

t = 2016 - 1990 = 26

A = 4.22(1.031)^26

A = $9.33

attashe74 [19]

OK, so this is assuming we are considering that the first three kids to solve ARE NOT in the first day.


So we have 3 kids and it doubles

Day 1 : 6

Day 2 : 12

Day 3 : 24

Day 4 : 48

Day 5 : 96

Day 6 : 192

Day 7: 384


So it should take 7 days or a week to solve all the problems.

The equation:

(3 * 2)^x = 384

Cameron buys 2.45 pounds of apples and 1.65 pounds of pears. Apples and pears each cost c dollars per pound. If the total cost a
Leto [7]

Answer:

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation to find the value for c, we need to declare what c is first.

c = price of fruit

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Now we multiplied c to 2.45 and 1.65 and added them together, because whatever the value of c is will give us the equivalence of the sum of 4.12 + 0.75.

Now to check if the equation is right, let's solve for c.

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

4.1c = 4.87

Now to get the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.1.

\dfrac{4.1c}{4.1}=\dfrac{4.87}{4.1}

c = 1.19

Now let's substitute the value of c in the equation to see if we got it right.

2.45(1.19) + 1.65(1.19) = 4.12 + 0.75

2.92 + 1.96 = 4.87

4.87 = 4.87

Therefore concluding that the value of c is 1.19.

Half angle tan 5pi/8
Bond [772]
The half-angle formula for tangent is:

tan(a/2) = (sin a / (1 + cos a)) = ((1 - cos a) / sin a)

Now we can plug in values:

tan(5π/8) = (sin(5π/4) / (1 + cos(5π/4)) = ((1 - cos(5π/4)) / sin(5π/4)

tan(5π/8) = (-√2/2) / (1 + (-√2/2)) = (1 - (-√2/2)) / (-√2/2)

tan(5π/8) = ((-√2/2)) / ((2 - √2)/2) = ((2 + √2)/2) / (-√2/2)

Now we can solve the first half:

(-√2/2)(2 / (2 - √2))
(-√2/2)((4 + 2√2) / 2)
(-√2/2)(2 + √2)
(-2√2 - 2)/2
-√2 - 1

tan(5pi/8) = -√2 - 1

Your dinner bill is $25 before tax. The tax rate is 8%. You decide to give the waiter 10% tip based on your pre-tax bill. What i
Inessa [10]

Answer:

$29.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the tip

tip = pre tax bill * 10 %

tip = 25 * .10

tip =2.5

Next we need to find the tax

tax = pre tax bill * 8%

tax = 25 * .08

tax =2

Final bill = pre tax bill + tax + tip

Final bill = 25 + 2 + 2.5

              =29.50
