Answer:

Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total employment for sheet metal workers in 2016 is projected to be = 201,000

This is a 6.3% increase from 2006.

Let the number of workers in 2006 be n

n + (6.3% of n) = 201,000

n + ( 0.063n) = 201,000

1.063n = 201,000

n = $\frac{201,000}{1.063}$

n = 189,087. 4882 ≈ 189,000

the total employment in 2006 was approximately 189,000

Option d is the answer.

In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant

This problem is an Arithmetic Sequence

where

the first term is $23$

and

the common difference is $-2$

In general we can write an Arithmetic Sequence as a rule

$an=a1+d*(n-1)$

where

a1 is the first term

d is the common difference

so

$a1=23\\\\ d=-2$

<u>Find the term a7</u>

$an=a1+d*(n-1)\\ \\ a7=23+(-2)*[7-1]\\ \\\\ a7=23-12\\ \\\\ a7=11$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$11\ tiles$

Jane wishes to bake an apple pie for dessert. The baking instructions say that she should bake the pie in an oven at a constant

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Therefore $k= \frac{ln2 }{18}$ , A=184

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is

$T(t)=230 -e^{-kt}$

where T(t) is the temperature in °C and t is time in minute and A and k are constants.

She noticed that after 18 minutes the temperature of the pie is 138°C

Putting T(t) =138°C and t= 18 minutes

$138=230 -Ae^{-k\times 18}$

$\Rightarrow -Ae^{-18k}=138-230$

$\Rightarrow Ae^{-18k}=92$ .....(1)

Again after 36 minutes it is 184°C

Putting T(t) =184°C and t= 36 minutes

$184=230-Ae^{-k\times 36}$

$\Rightarrow Ae^{-36k}=230-184$

$\Rightarrow Ae^{-36k}=46$ .......(2)

Dividing (2) by (1)

$\frac{Ae^{-36k}}{Ae^{-18k}}=\frac{46}{92}$

$\Rightarrow e^{-18k}=\frac{46}{92}$

Taking ln both sides

$ln e^{-18k}=ln\frac{46}{92}$

$\Rightarrow -18k =ln (\frac12)$

$\Rightarrow -18k= ln1-ln2$

$\Rightarrow k= \frac{ln2 }{18}$

Putting the value k in equation (1)

$Ae^{-18\frac{ln2}{18}}=92$

$\Rightarrow A e^{ln2^{-1}}=92$

$\Rightarrow A.2^{-1}=92$

$\Rightarrow \frac{A}{2}=92$

$\Rightarrow A= 92 \times 2$

⇒A= 184.

Therefore $k= \frac{ln2 }{18}$ , A=184
