First, find 30% of 2,000. To do so you need to convert 30% into a decimal by dividing it by 100.

30% ⇒ 0.30

Now multiply 0.30 by 2,000 to find 30% of 2,000.

2,000 × 0.30 = 600

Subtract 600 from 2,000 to find the price of the notebook in 2013.

2,000 - 600 = 1,400

Now find 30% of 1,400 using the same process.

1,400 × 0.30 = 420

Subtract 420 from 1,400 to find the price of the notebook in 2014.

1,400 - 420 = 980

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The value of the notebook in 2014 is $980.

Answer:

$980

Step-by-step explanation:

30% decrease means 100-30 = 70% of the previous

70% = 0.7

0.7(2000)

= 1400 in 2013

0.7(1400)

= 980 in 2014

The correct option is a): "is independent of m".

By the fundamental theorem of calculus:A′(m)=13m⋅3−1m

The histogram below shows the number of properties in a town that sold within certain time periods.

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Option c) The scale on the y-axis misrepresents the difference in the heights of the bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a histogram that shows the number of properties in a town that are sold within certain periods.

On x axis is given number of days to sell and on y axis the number of properties

X axis is given in interval form with interval width 30 and on y axis scales are marked as 0,1,2....12,13 etc

The mistake is on y axis after 0, 10 is marked with unit distance from 0 but from 10 to 11 also distance is shown as 1 unit.

Hence correct option is

Option c) The scale on the y-axis misrepresents the difference in the heights of the bars.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is A. 8.3.

To calculate the number of weeks that will pass, we need to use the given information.From the statement we know that we need to use the value of $600 substituting it as "y", and then, isolate "x", so, calculating we have:

$log(y)=0.30x+0.296\\\\log(600)=0.30x+0.296\\\\2.78=0.30x+0.296\\\\2.78-0.296=0.30x\\\\x=\frac{2.78-0.296}{0.30}=8.28=8.3$

Hence, the correct option is A. 8.3.

Have a nice day!

Suppose that a company's sales were $1,000,000 6 years ago and are $9,000,000 at the end of the 6 years. Find the geometric mean

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The geometric mean growth rate of sales is 1.4422.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two sales values, one from 6 years ago and the other from now.

We have to calculate the geometric growth rate of sales.

We have:

$y(-6)=1,000,000\\\\y(0)=9,000,000$

We can write the relation between these two values as:

$y(0)=y(-6)k^{0-(-6)}\\\\9,000,000=1,000,000k^6\\\\k^6=9\\\\k=9^{1/6}= 1.4422$

The geometric mean growth rate of sales is 1.4422.

A environmental initiative has the goal of saving at least 25 2525 million hectares of rainforest through both planting trees an

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The possible way for the initiative to accomplish its goal without exceeding its budget is use 12.5 hectares for planting trees and 12.5 hectares by purchasing land.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable X represent the amount of land used for planting trees and Y represent the amount of land purchased.

The goal of the environmental initiative is to save at least 25 million hectares of rain forest.

That is:

X + Y = 25....(i)

Now it is provided that:

The cost of planting trees is $ 400 per hectare.
The cost of purchasing land is $ 260 per hectare.
The initiative has a budget of $8,250 million.

Using the above data it can be said that:

400X + 260Y = 8250....(ii)

Solve equations (i) and (ii) simultaneously.

$\ \ \ \ x+y=25]\times 260\\400x+260y=8250\\\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\\\\\Rightarrow\\\\260x+260y=6500\\400x+260y=8250\\(-)\_\_\_\_\_\ (-)\_\_\_\_(-)\_\_\_\\\\\Rightarrow\\\\-140x=-1750\\\\x=\frac{1750}{140}\\\\x=12.5$

Then the value of y is:

$x+y=25\\y=25-x\\y=25-12.5\\y=12.5$

Thus, the possible way for the initiative to accomplish its goal without exceeding its budget is use 12.5 hectares for planting trees and 12.5 hectares for purchasing land.
