-------
Let 2003 be the zero year; then 2005 is the three year, and 2008 the 5 year.
---------------
P = ab^x
---
P(3) = ab^3 = 800000
P(0) = ab^0 = 900000

---
a = 900000
Solve for "b"::
b^3 = 8/9 
b = 2/cbrt(9) 
----
Equation::
P(x) = 900000^x
----
Ans: P(5) = 900000

The maximum recommended slope of wheelchair ramp is 1/12. A business installs a wheelchair ramp that rises 22inches over a horiz
Olin [163]

Given parameters:

Recommend wheelchari ramp slope  = \frac{1}{12}  

Rise of the new wheel chair ramp  = 22 inches

Horizontal length  = 24feet

Unknown:

Is the ramp steeper than the recommended  = ?

Slope is the ratio of rise to the horizontal distance covered

 Mathematically;

                 Slope = \frac{Rise}{horizontal distance}

Slope of the wheel chair ramp;

                covert 24 feet to inches;

        1 foot = 12 inches

        24 feet  = 24 x `12  = 288inches

Slope  = \frac{22}{288 }   = \frac{11}{144}

The two slopes being compared are;

               \frac{1}{12}  and \frac{11}{144}

The steeper of the first one 1/12. It has a higher slope compared to the second one.

Let the premises be the statements "All foods that are healthy to eat do not taste good," "Tofu is healthy to eat," "You only ea
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

c. modus ponens

Explanation:

In propositional logic, we learn that <em>modus ponens</em> is a valid argument and a rule of inference. <em>Modus ponens</em> states that "P implies Q, and if P is true, then Q must be true."

Based on these propositions, we learn that all food that is healthy does not taste good, and tofu is healthy. Therefore,

<em>If all food that is healthy does not taste good,</em>

<em>and tofu is healthy to eat,</em>

<em>then tofu does not taste good.</em>

(14.14) larry reads that 1 out of 6 eggs contains salmonella bacteria. so he never uses more than 5 eggs in cooking. if eggs do
melomori [17]

we know that

The probability that "at least one" is the probability of exactly one, exactly 2, exactly 3, 4 and 5 contain salmonella.

The easiest way to solve this is to recognise that "at least one" is ALL 100% of the possibilities EXCEPT that none have salmonella.

If the probability that any one egg has 1/6 chance of salmonella

then

the probability that any one egg will not have salmonella = 5/6.

Therefore

for all 5 to not have salmonella


= (5/6)^5 = 3125 / 7776

= 0.401877 = 0.40 to 2 decimal places


REMEMBER this is the probability that NONE have salmonella


Therefore

the probability that at least one does = 1 - 0.40

= 0.60


the answer is

0.60 or 60%

Jordan builds a miniature catapult for the science fair. He documents how far the catapult can throw a small rock for his report
GrogVix [38]

The rate to convert yards to meters is

1 \text{ yard}=0.9144\text{ meters}

So, if you multiply both sides by 8, you get

8 \text{ yards} = 8\times 0.9144 = 7.3152 \text{ meters}

To round the answer to the nearest tenth, we need to choose between 7.3 and 7.4. Since the hundreths digit is 1, which is less than 5, 7.3 is nearest to 7.3152 than 7.4, so the correct answer is 7.3
