To answer this kinda question, we gotta tackle it year by year. 
By the end of the first year, the tree would grow by 2% = 102% of its original height.
Year 1: 102% x 50 = 51 feet
Year 2: 103% x 51 = 52.02 feet

Hope I helped!! xx

29) Adam’s sister wants to watch her intake of fat per day. Here is a guideline of the recommended daily allowances. Typical val
ziro4ka [17]
Basically all the information in this problem is useless. They included all those numbers to confuse you. If you read throughly you can see that all you need to know is that Adam's sister can only have 70 grams of fat each day and that her dinner will have 48 grams of fat.

To figure this out I use this formula all the time to figure out percentages.
is/of=x/100
Your trying to figure out what is 48 percent of 70 because that's how much Adam's sister is going to eat at dinner. So your is would be 48 and your of is 70. When you substitute those numbers your formula becomes 48/70=x/100. Now you cross multiply and get 70x=4800.All that's left is to divide 70 on both sides. Which gives you 68.57.The final answer is 69 percent.

What can you say about the end behavior of the function f(x)=log10(5x-1)
natima [27]
The given function is
f(x) = log₁₀(5x-1)

As x -> -∞, the argument of the log function becomes a large negative number.
Because the log of a negative number is undefined, f(x) is undefined as x -> -∞.

As x -> +∞, the argument of the log function becomes a large positive number.
Therefore f(x) -> +∞ as x -> +∞.

Answer:
As x -> -∞, f(x) is undefined.
As x-> +∞, f(x) -> +∞.

Landon babysits and works part time at tge water park over the summer. onw week, he babysat for 3 hours and worked at the water
Tems11 [23]
B = hourly rate for babysitting and w = hourly rate for working at water park

3b + 10w = 109...multiply by -8
8b + 12w = 177...multiply by 3
----------------------
-24b - 80w = - 872 (result of multiplying by -8)
24b + 36w = 531 (result of multiplying by 3)
---------------------add
- 44w = - 341
w = -341/-44
w = 7.75 <=== hourly rate for working at water park

3b + 10w = 109
3b + 10(7.75) = 109
3b + 77.50 = 109
3b = 109 - 77.50
3b = 31.50
b = 31.50/3
b = 10.50 <== hourly rate for babysitting
