A company plans to sell embroidered hats for $15 each. The company's financial planner estimates that the cost, y, of

The area of a square is calculated by multiplying its height by its base. Because they are the same in a square, the area of a square is obtained by squaring one of its sides. Let's call the sides 'x'. Then we can express the area of the garden as x^2=400.

From here we simply need to square root both sides which gives us:

x=20

Therefore the length of one side of the garden is 20 yards.

Hope this helped!

The population p of a small community on the outskirts of a city grows rapidly over a 20-year period: t05101520p1002004509502000

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The population of the small community, 5 years into the future, after the initial 20-year period = 4268.

Step-by-step explanation:

t | 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20

p | 100 | 200 | 450 | 950 | 2000

The exponential function will look like

p = aeᵏᵗ

where a and k are constants.

Take the natural logarithms of both sides

In p = In aeᵏᵗ

In p = In a + In eᵏᵗ

In p = In a + kt

In p = kt + In a.

We then use linear regression to fit the data of In p against t to obtain k and In a.

t | 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20

p | 100 | 200 | 450 | 950 | 2000

In p | 4.605 | 5.298 | 6.109 | 6.856 | 7.601

In p = kt + In a.

y = mx + b

m = k and b = In a

Performing a linear regression analysis on the now-linear relationship between In p and t and also plotting a graph of the variables.

The regression equation obtained is

y = 0.151x + 4.584

The first attached image shows the equations necessary for the estimation of the linear regression parameters.

The second attached image shows the use of regression calculator and the plot of the function In p versus t.

Comparing

y = 0.151x + 4.584

With

In p = kt + In a.

y = In p

k = 0.151

x = t

In a = 4.584

a = 97.905

The exponential function relating p and t,

p = aeᵏᵗ now becomes

p = 97.905 e⁰•¹⁵¹ᵗ

So, to predict the population 5 years into the future, that is 5 years after the 20 year period.

we need p at t=25 years.

0.151 × 25 = 3.775

p(t=25) = 97.905 e³•⁷⁷⁵ = 4268.41 = 4268.

Hope this Helps!!!

The height of an arrow shot upward can be given by the formula s = v0t - 16t2, where v0 is the initial velocity and t is time. H

Lina20 [59]

The arrow is at a height of 48 ft after approximately 0.55 seconds and after 5.45 seconds.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

The given formula is: $s=V_{0}t-16t^2$

If the initial velocity is 96 ft/s , that means $V_{0}=96$

For finding the time the arrow takes to reach a height of 48 ft, we will plug $s= 48$ into the above formula. So......

$48=96t-16t^2\\ \\ 16t^2-96t+48=0\\ \\ 16(t^2-6t+3)=0\\ \\ t^2-6t+3=0\\ \\ t^2-6t =-3\\ \\ t^2-6t+9=-3+9\\ \\ (t-3)^2 = 6\\ \\ t-3= \pm \sqrt{6} \\ \\ t=3\pm \sqrt{6}\\ \\ t = 5.45 , 0.55$

So, the arrow is at a height of 48 ft after approximately 0.55 seconds and after 5.45 seconds.
