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.

What is the ratio of the area of sector ABC to the area of sector DBE?
shusha [124]

We have to find the" ratio of the area of sector ABC to the area of sector DBE".

Now,

the general formula for the area of sector is

Area of sector= 1/2 r²θ

where r is the radius and θ is the central angle in radian.


180°= π rad

1° = π/180 rad


For sector ABC, area= 1/2 (2r)²(β°)

= 1/2 *4r²*(π/180 β)

= 2r²(π/180 β)

For sector DBE, area= 1/2 (r)²(3β°)

= 1/2 *r²*3(π/180 β)

= 3/2 r²(π/180 β)

Now ratio,

Area of sector ABC/Area of sector DBE =\frac{2r^{2}*\ \frac{\pi}{180} beta}{3/2 r^{2}*\ \frac{\pi}{180}beta}

= 4/3

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Karson's average speed on his way home was 28 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Karson drove from his house to work at an average speed of 35 miles per hour, and the drive took him 20 minutes, if the drive took him 25 minutes and he used the same route in reverse, to determine what was his average speed going home, the following calculation must be performed:

60 = 35

20 = X

20 x 35/60 = X

700/60 = X

11.666 = X

25 = 11,666

60 = X

60 x 11.666 / 25 = X

27.99 = X

Therefore, Karson's average speed on his way home was 28 miles per hour.

It is known that 70% of the customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes. a random sample of 25 customer
NikAS [45]

Let x be the discrete random variable whose value is the number of successes in n trials.

The probability distribution function for x of the binomial distribution B(n,p) is defined as

B(n,p)= nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Given that the random sample size is n=25

let x represent number of customers who purchase running shoes

Let "p" be the probability of customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes.

It is given that 70% of the customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes.

Thus p=\frac{70}{100}=0.7

Thus the Probability distribution of x is given by

P(X=x)= 25C_x(0.7)^x(1-0.7)^{25-x}, where x=0,1,2,3,...,25.

A triangular pyramid is cut by a plane. In which case is the cross section a quadrilateral?
Pie

Answer:

(D) is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section will be a quadrilateral when the intersecting plane forms a closed four sided polygon along with the pyramid.

A triangular pyramid has four faces.  So, to form four straight lines and therefore a quadrilateral, the intersecting plane must intersect all four faces.

A. In this case the plane will only intersect one side of the pyramid so four sided polygon can't be formed.

B. It will only intersect the two sides of the pyramid but the cross section will not be a quadrilateral.

C. In this case the plane will intersect three sides of the pyramid so the cross section will be a triangle not a quadrilateral.

D. In this case the plane intersects all the four faces forming a closed polygon of 4 straight lines so the cross section will be a quadrilateral.

So, the Correct Option is (D) : When the plane intersects the base and all three lateral faces of the pyramid, the cross section of the triangular pyramid will be a quadrilateral.
