The area of undeveloped land in a suburban town is decreasing at a rate of 17.3% annually. In 2016, there were 3,400 acres of un

developed land. If t represents the number of years since 2016, which equation can be used to determine after how many years the town will have 900 acres of undeveloped land remaining?
A)900 = 3,400(1.173)t

B)900 = 3,400(0.827)t

C)3,400 = 900(0.173)t

D)3,400 = 900(0.9827)t

Decreasing by 17.3 percent means every year it's multiplied by 1-0.173 =0.827.

900 = 3400 (0.827^t)

Alexis invests $475 in a bank account that earns 1.25% interest compounded annually. Which function models the growth of her inv
olchik [2.2K]
Answer: The function that modes this situation would be: y = 475(1 + .0125)^x.

This is an example of an exponential equation. These equations are always in the form y = ab^x.

The a value is the starting value. The b value is the interest rate. The x value is the number of years.

The only thing to be careful about is the rate. We are adding 1.25% or 0.125. Make sure that you are adding 1 whole to the 1.25% and don't just use 0.125.

Choose the algebraic expression that represents the area of a triangle that has a base 8 inches less than 2 times wider than the
loris [4]

Answer:

B. (1/2)(2h-8)(h)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

Let

Height = h

Base = 8 inches less than 2 times wider than the hight

= 2h-8

Substituting the values of base and height into the formula

We have,

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

= 1/2 × (2h-8) × h

= (1/2)(2h-8)(h)

The correct answer is option

B. (1/2)(2h-8)(h)

An animal shelter is feeding 24 dogs. Each dog is fed 8 ounces of dog food twice a day. How many pounds of dog food does the she
Brut [27]

there are 24 dogs, each one gets 8oz of dog food twice a day, so for 1 day only that'd be 16 oz, for 7 days for 1 dog only that'd be 16+16+16+16+16+16+16 oz or 112oz, just for 1 dog alone for 7 days(week).

now, there are 24 dogs, each one gets 112oz every week, 24 * 112 ounces.

Alice is riding a Ferris wheel, where t is time in seconds. Suppose the Ferris wheel is 22 m tall. Let h(t) = 11cos(12t) represe
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Alice reaches 11 metres below the centre as lowest height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine is a bounded function between -1 and 1, so that the lowest height that Alice achieves in Ferris wheel is:

h(t) = 11\cdot \cos (12\cdot t)

Where:

t - Time, measured in seconds.

h(t) - Height with respect to centre, measured in metres.

If \cos (12\cdot t) = -1, then:

h_{min} = 11\cdot (-1)

h_{min} = -11\,m

Alice reaches 11 metres below the centre as lowest height.
