Because of the rainy season, the depth in a pond increases 3% each week. Before the rainy season started, the pond was 10 feet d

eep. What is the function that best represents the depth of the pond each week and how deep is the pond after 8 weeks? Round your answer to the nearest foot.
Hint: Use the formula, f(x) = P(1 + r)x.

A. f(x) = 10(0.03)x, 36 feet

B. f(x) = 10(1.03)x, 14 feet

C. f(x) = 10(1.3)x, 37 feet

D. f(x) = 10(1.03)x, 13 feet

After first week pond will be:
10 + 10* 0.03 = 10*(1.03) feet deep
after second week it will be:

10*(1.03) + 10*(1.03)*0.03 = 10*(1.03)^2

from this we can conclude that after x week its will be:
10*(1.03)^x

Note that when second week starts our starting pond is already greater by 3%. every week we add 3% of prevous weeks size of pond

for x = 8 we get
f(x) = 10*(1.03)^8 = 12.66 or rounded 13 feet

Answer is D.

Zack wants to make a profit of more than $300 for painting 4 identical rooms. The profit he makes is equal to the amount he is p
lianna [129]

Answer: A

n-4(32.5) > 300;n > 430tep-by-step explanation:

given that Zack wants to make a profit of more than $300 for painting 4 identical rooms. That is

Profit > $300

Then, the profit he makes is equal to the amount he is paid minus the cost of supplies. The cost of supplies is $32.50 for each room. That is

n - 32.5 and

P + 32.5 × 4

Where 4 = number of rooms

P + 130

The minimum profit = 300 + 130 = $430

Therefore, the inequality and solution that represent the dollar amount, n, that zack must be paid for each room if he is to make a profit of more than 300$ is

n-4(32.5) > 300;n > 430

Starting from 300 feet away, a car drives toward you. It then passes by you at a speed of 48 feet per second. The distance dd (i
deff fn [24]
The answer to this question would be: 5 second

In this question, you are given the initial distance (300ft), car velocity(48ft/s) and the final distance(60ft). You are also given the equation to calculating the distance, so this question should be easier. The question is when the time where the distance is 60 ft. So the answer would be:

distance= 300-48t
60 = 300ft- 48t
48t= 300- 60=240
t= 5

The average blood alcohol concentration (bac) of eight male subjects was measured after consumption of 15 ml of ethanol (corresp
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

After 5 minutes, the BAC was increasing at the rate of 0.0137 mg/mL a minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average blood alcohol concentration (bac)  is modeled by the following function.

c(t) = 0.0225te^{-0.0467t}

In which t is measured in minuted.

How rapidly was the BAC increasing after 5 minutes?

This is c'(t) when t = 5.

Using the derivative of the product.

Derivative of the product:

c(t) = f(t)*g(t)

c'(t) = f'(t)*g(t) + f(t)*g'(t)

In which problem:

f(t) = 0.0225t

g(t) = e^{-0.0467t}

So

c'(t) = 0.0225e^{-0.0467t} - 0.0225*0.0467*te^{-0.0467t}

c'(5) = 0.0225e^{-0.0467*5} - 0.0225*0.0467*5e^{-0.0467*5} = 0.0137

After 5 minutes, the BAC was increasing at the rate of 0.0137 mg/mL a minute.

Explain how knowing 1+7 helps you find the sum for7+1
ss7ja [257]
1+7 and 7+1 are the same equations. The numbers are just switched around .
Example:
1+2=3
2+1+3

<span>They add up to the same answer no matter where they are placed, therefore knowing 1+7 helps you find the sum of 7+1 (again, because they are the same)  </span>
