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

A football quarterback enjoys practicing his long passes over 40 yards. He misses the first pass 40% of the time. When he misses
dangina [55]

Answer:

8% or 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of missing the first pass = 40% = 0.40

Probability of missing the second pass = 20% = 0.20

We have to find the probability that he misses both the passes. Since the two passes are independent of each other, the probability that he misses two passes will be:

Probability of missing 1st pass x Probability of missing 2nd pass

i.e.

Probability of missing two passes in a row = 0.40 x 0.20 = 0.08 = 8%

Thus, there is 8% probability that he misses two passes in a row.

A hovercraft takes off from a platform. Its height (in meters), xxx seconds after takeoff, is modeled by: h(x)=-2x^2+20x+48h(x)=
Ad libitum [116K]

the maximum height is the y-value of the vertex.

h(x) = -2x² + 20x + 48

      <em>  a=-2, b=20, c=48</em>

x = \frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-20}{2(-2)} = \frac{-20}{-4} = 5

h(5) = -2(5)² + 20(5) + 48

      =  -50   +  100   + 48

      =          50         + 48

      =                98

Answer: 98 meters

Mr. Chin's hotel bill is $143. He leaves 12% of the hotel bill as a tip for the housekeeping service. What is the total amount M
Vlada [557]
First, begin by converting the tip of 12% to a decimal.

.12

Now, multiply that by the total bill.

.12*143=17.16

We now know the numerical value of the tip.

Add the tip to the total bill and get your answer.

143+17.16=160.16
