The height of statue is 12.2 inches in Troy's drawing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Actual height of statue = 305 feet

Scale used by Troy;

25 feet = 1 inch

1 feet = $\frac{1}{25}\ inches$

305 feet = $\frac{1}{25}*305 \ inches$

305 feet = $\frac{305}{25}\ inches\\$

305 feet = 12.2 inches

The height of statue is 12.2 inches in Troy's drawing.

World wind energy generating1 capacity, W , was 371 gigawatts by the end of 2014 and has been increasing at a continuous rate of

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) $W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}$

b) Wind capacity will pass 600 gigawatts during the year 2018

Step-by-step explanation:

The world wind energy generating capacity can be modeled by the following function

$W(t) = W(0)(1+r)^{t}$

In which W(t) is the wind energy generating capacity in t years after 2014, W(0) is the capacity in 2014 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

371 gigawatts by the end of 2014 and has been increasing at a continuous rate of approximately 16.8%.

This means that

$W(0) = 371, r = 0.168$

(a) Give a formula for W , in gigawatts, as a function of time, t , in years since the end of 2014 . W= gigawatts

$W(t) = W(0)(1+r)^{t}$

$W(t) = 371(1+0.168)^{t}$

$W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}$

(b) When is wind capacity predicted to pass 600 gigawatts? Wind capacity will pass 600 gigawatts during the year?

This is t years after the end of 2014, in which t found when W(t) = 600. So

$W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}$

$600 = 371(1.168)^{t}$

$(1.168)^{t} = \frac{600}{371}$

$(1.168)^{t} = 1.61725$

We have that:

$\log{a^{t}} = t\log{a}$

So we apply log to both sides of the equality

$\log{(1.168)^{t}} = \log{1.61725}$

$t\log{1.168} = 0.2088$

$0.0674t = 0.2088$

$t = \frac{0.2088}{0.0674}$

$t = 3.1$

It will happen 3.1 years after the end of 2014, so during the year of 2018.

A new car is purchased for 20700 dollars. The value of the car depreciates are 11% per year. What will the value of the car be,

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: $5,744.61

Step-by-step explanation:

year 1 = -2,277

year 2 = -2026.53

year 3 = -1803.61

year 4 = -1605.21

year 5 = -1428.64

year 6 = -1271.49

year 7 = -1131.62

year 8 = -1007.17

year 9 = -896.36

year 10 = -797.76

year 11 = -710

you are subtracting 11% from each year.
