Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

Sofa = s
Love seat = l
Chair = c

Sofa and love seat cost = $1300
Sofa and 2 chairs cost = $1400
Sofa, love seat and one chair cost = $1600

Love seat = ?

<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Equations as per given are:</u>

s + l = 1300
s + 2c = 1400
s + l + c = 1600

<u>Subtract equation 1 from equation 3:</u>

s + l + c - s - l = 1600 - 1300
c = 300

<u>Considering this in the equation 2:</u>

s + 2*300 = 1400
s = 1400 - 600
s = 800

<u>Substituting s in the equation 1:</u>

800 + l = 1300
l = 1300 - 800
l = 500

<u>Answer:</u> Love seat costs $500

World wind energy generating1 capacity, W , was 371 gigawatts by the end of 2014 and has been increasing at a continuous rate of

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) $W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}$

b) Wind capacity will pass 600 gigawatts during the year 2018

Step-by-step explanation:

The world wind energy generating capacity can be modeled by the following function

$W(t) = W(0)(1+r)^{t}$

In which W(t) is the wind energy generating capacity in t years after 2014, W(0) is the capacity in 2014 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

371 gigawatts by the end of 2014 and has been increasing at a continuous rate of approximately 16.8%.

This means that

$W(0) = 371, r = 0.168$

(a) Give a formula for W , in gigawatts, as a function of time, t , in years since the end of 2014 . W= gigawatts

$W(t) = W(0)(1+r)^{t}$

$W(t) = 371(1+0.168)^{t}$

$W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}$

(b) When is wind capacity predicted to pass 600 gigawatts? Wind capacity will pass 600 gigawatts during the year?

This is t years after the end of 2014, in which t found when W(t) = 600. So

$W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}$

$600 = 371(1.168)^{t}$

$(1.168)^{t} = \frac{600}{371}$

$(1.168)^{t} = 1.61725$

We have that:

$\log{a^{t}} = t\log{a}$

So we apply log to both sides of the equality

$\log{(1.168)^{t}} = \log{1.61725}$

$t\log{1.168} = 0.2088$

$0.0674t = 0.2088$

$t = \frac{0.2088}{0.0674}$

$t = 3.1$

It will happen 3.1 years after the end of 2014, so during the year of 2018.

Choose the option that best completes the statement below. In finding the number of permutations for a given number of items, __

vodomira [7]

Let’s look at the permutations of the letters “ABC.” We can write the letters in any of the following ways:
ABC
ACB
BAC
BCA
CBA
CAB
Since there are 3 choices for the first spot, two for the next and 1 for the last we end up with (3)(2)(1) = 6 permutations. Using the symbolism of permutations we have: $3 P_{3}=(3)(2)(1)=6$ . Note that the first 3 should also be small and low like the second one but I couldn’t get that to look right.

Now let’s see how this changes if the letters are AAB. Since the two As are identical, we end up with fewer permutations.
AAB
ABA
BAA
To make the point a bit better let’s think of one A are regular and one as bold A.
ABA and ABA look different now because we used bold for one of the As but if we don’t do this we see that these are actual the same. If they represented a word they would be the same exact word.

So in this case the formula would be $\frac{3 P_{3} }{2!}= \frac{(3)(2)(1)}{(2)(1)}= \frac{6}{2}=3$ . We use 2! In the denominator because there are 2 repeating letters. If there were three we would use 3!

Hopefully, this is enough to let you see that the answer is A. The number of permutations is limited by the number of items that are identical.

Lonzell said the function shown in the graph is positive on the interval (−,) and negative on the interval (−,−)open negative 5

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The positive graph is on the points (-5,-4) and (2,5)

And, negative would be (-4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As it seems that fgraph shows positive in the case when it is over x-axis, and negative when it is below y-axis

As on the interval (-1,5)

The graph is below x-axis i.e. on (-1,2)

And, over x-axis i.e. on (2,5)
