Answer:

t = 13.1576  years

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation can be modeled as

P = Po.(1-r)^t

Where

t is the years transcurred

Po is the initial amount

r is the rate of change

Po = 40000

r = 10% equivalent to 0.1

Now

A quarter of the original amount

(1/4)*Po = Po.(1-r)^t

(1/4) = (0.9)^t

t = 13.1576

Given the vectors, a=3i+4j, b=-2i+5j, c=10i-j, d=-1/3i+5/2j, find -0.4a-0.3b+0.2d=?
sveta [45]

Answer:

-\frac{2}{3}i - \frac{13}{5}j

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.4(3i + 4i) - 0.3(-2i + 5j) + 0.2(-\frac{1}{3}i + \frac{5}{2}j)

-1.2i - 1.6j + 0.6i - 1.5j - \frac{0.2}{3}i + 0.5j

Converting to fraction form;

-\frac{6}{5}i + \frac{3}{5}i - \frac{1}{15}i - \frac{8}{5}j - \frac{3}{2}j + \frac{1}{2} j

<u>Solving the i part;</u>

\frac{-18i + 9i - i}{15} = -\frac{2}{3}i

<u>Solving the j part;</u>

\frac{-16j-15j+5j}{10} = -\frac{13}{5}j

So -0.4a - o.3b + 0.2d =  -\frac{2}{3}i - \frac{13}{5}j

<span>we have to solve simultaneous equations.
                                                                     
x = 10 oz. boxes
                                                                     
y = 16 oz. boxes
                                                                               
simultaneous equations
                                                                     
x + y = 24 ---1)
                                                                     
3.50x + 5.00y = 97.50 ----2)
                                                                   
to solve for x we need to eliminate y, therefore we have to multiply 1st equation by 5
                                                                   
5x + 5y = 120 --3)
                                                                   
subtract 3) - 2)
                                                                   
5x - 3.50x = 120 - 97.50
                                                                   
1.50x = 22.5 x = 15

A person is standing 50 ft from a statue. The person looks up at an angle of elevation of 8o when staring at the top of the stat
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

h=50.25\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles </u>

In a right triangle, one of the internal angles is 90°. When this happens, there is always a longer side, called hypotenuse and two shorter sides, called legs. They relate to Pythagoras's theorem. The basic trigonometric relations also stand, including

\displaystyle tan\alpha=\frac{a}{c}

where a is the opposite leg to \alpha and c is its adjacent led .

In our problem, we have a statue being looked by a person in such a way that the top of the statue forms an angle of 8° with the horizontal and the base of the statue forms an angle of 14° down. We also know the distance from the person to the statue is 50 ft. The situation is shown in the image below.

The height of the statue is h=a+b, where

a=50tan8^o

b=50tan14^o

Thus

h=50tan8^o+50tan14^o

h=50(tan8^o+tan14^o)

\boxed{h=50.25\ ft}

Charlize wants to measure the depth of an empty well. She drops a ball from a height of 3 feet into the well
pentagon [3]

Answer:

  about 151 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the ball at a time of 3.1 seconds is given by Charlize's equation as ...

  h(3.1) = -16(3.1)^2 +3 = -150.76 . . . feet

The well is about 151 feet deep.

_____

<em>Comment on this measurement</em>

The speed of sound is sufficiently slow that it will make a difference in the time Charlize records. She would get a more accurate measurement if she were able to <em>see</em> the ball hit bottom.
