Answer: The equation is f(x) = ;
The piece of plastic has to have 10mm of thickness.
Step-by-step explanation: It is known that with 1 mm of thickness, 5% of the intensity is reduced. So, 95% of the light is transmitted.
For each milimetre added, "more" 95% of light is transmitted.
For example, if another milimetre of plastic is added, another 0.95 of light is transmitted:
0.95.0.95 = 0.9025 of light reach the visor
So, the model that relate thickness of plastic and intensity of light is:
f(x) =
in which:
f(x) is the intensity of light;
x is thickness in mm;
Using the equation, the thickness necessary to reduce intensity to 60% is:
f(x) =
0.6 =
log 0.6 = log
x. log (0.95) = log (0.6)
x =
x = 9.95
x ≈ 10
The thickness necessary to reduce intensity of light to 60% is 10mm.

Answer:
When new, the scooter cost $900
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question in the attached figure</em></u>
we have
This is a exponential function of the form
where
A(t) ----> represent the value of a motor scooter
t ----> the number of years after it was purchased
a ---> represent the initial value or y-intercept
b is the base of the exponential function
r is the percent rate of change
b=(1+r)
In this problem we have
The base b is less than 1
That means ----> is a exponential decay function (is a decreasing function)
Find the percent rate of change
Convert to percentage (multiply by 100)
---> negative means is a decreasing function
<u><em>Verify each statements</em></u>
<em>case A</em>) When new, the scooter cost $765.
The statement is false
Because the original value of the scooter was $900
case B) When new, the scooter cost $900
The statement is true (see the explanation)
case C) The scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of 85% each year
The statement is false
Because the scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of 15% each year (see the explanation)
case D) The scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of 0.15% each year
The statement is false
Because the scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of 15% each year (see the explanation)
Answer:
a) The continuous rate of growth of this bacterium population is 45%
b) Initial population of culture at t = 0 is 950 bacteria
c) number of bacterial culture contain at t = 5 is 9013 bacteria
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of bacteria in a culture is given by
n(t) = 950
a) rate of growth is
Bacteria growth model N(t) = no
Where r is the growth rate
hence r = 0.45
= 45%
b) Initial population of culture at t = 0
n(0) = 950
= 950
= 950 bacteria
c) number of bacterial culture contain at t = 5
n(5) = 950
= 950
= 9013.35
= 9013 bacteria
