A technician tests batteries for a battery manufacturer several times each week. She determines that the number of defective batteries is proportional to the number of batteries tested. The table below shows the numbers of batteries the technician tested at two different times during week 1 and the number of defective batteries she found each time.

Battery Test Results for Week 1:

Number Tested: 160, 600

Number Defective: 4, 15

Between week 1 and week 2, the battery manufacturer changed its process. The number of defective batteries is still proportional to the number of batteries tests, but the constant of proportionality is greater. The technician tested 480 batteries during week 2 and found that 18 were defective. By what percent did the constant of proportionality increase? HELP PLEASE

Answers

Answer 1

The answer is 50 percent

Answer 2

As per the given data, the constant of proportionality increased by 50%.

What is constant of proportionality?

Two numerical sequences, often experimental data, are said to be proportional or directly proportional if their corresponding elements have a constant ratio, which is known as the coefficient of proportionality or proportionality constant.

To solve this problem, we need to compare the proportion of defective batteries in week 1 and week 2. Let's start by finding the proportion of defective batteries in week 1:

For the first test: 4/160 = 0.025

For the second test: 15/600 = 0.025

So in week 1, the proportion of defective batteries was 0.025.

Now let's find the proportion of defective batteries in week 2:

18/480 = 0.0375

The proportion of defective batteries in week 2 is 0.0375.

To find the percent increase in the constant of proportionality, we need to compare the two proportions:

(0.0375 - 0.025)/0.025 x 100% = 50%

Thus, the constant of proportionality increased by 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of chicken broth in 1 can = 414 ml

Number of can Rick use = 4 cans

Find:

Amount of chicken broth used

Computation:

Amount of chicken broth used = Amount of chicken broth in 1 can x Number of can Rick use

Amount of chicken broth used = 1,656 ml

Amount of chicken broth used = 1.656 L

The length of a rectangle is 15 less than three times the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 178 centimeters. What is the length of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

40.5in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the  width be x

L= 3x-15

Perimeter= 178cm

We know that

P=2L+2W

substitute

178= 2(3x-15)+2x

open bracket

178=6x-30+2x

collect like terms

178=8x-30

178-30= 8x

148= 8x

divide both sides by 8

x= 148/8

x=18.5 in

but L= 3x-15

L= 3*18.5-15

L=55.5-15

L=40.5 in

Hence the length is 40.5in

The fish population in a local stream is decreasing at a rate of 3% per year. The original population was 48,000. Write an exponential function to model this situation. Then find the population after 7 years.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Decrease rate (d)= 7%

Number of periods (n)= 7 years

Current population (PV)= 48,000

First, to calculate the future value, we need to use the following decrease exponential formula:

FV= PV*[(1+d)^-n]

After 7 years:

FV= 48,000*(1.07^-7)

FV= 29,892

The fish population after 7 years is 38783

An exponential decay is in the form:

y = abˣ;

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is < 1

Let y represent the fish population after x years.

Since there is initially 48000 fish, hence a = 48000. Also it decrease at a rate of 3% per year. Hence b = 100% - 3% = 97% = 0.97

Therefore:

y = 48000(0.97)ˣ

After 7 years:

y = 48000(0.97)⁷ = 38783

Therefore the fish population after 7 years is 38783

Identify the area of the polygon that has vertices T(−3,1), S(−5,−4), A(−8,1), and N(−4,5)

Answers

Answer:

22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the polygon ABCD is 3/2 square units.

What is polygon?

"It is two dimensional geometric figure having finite sides and vertices." A polygon is a two-dimensional geometric figure that has a finite number of sides. The sides of a polygon are made of straight line segments connected to each other end to end. Thus, the line segments of a polygon are called sides or edges.

here, we have,

we know that,

formula to find the area of the polygon:

"If polygon having vertices (x1, y1), ....(xn,yn) then the area of the polygon is,

A = 1/2 * | (x1y2 - x2y1) + ( x2y3 - x3y2) + .....+ (xny1 - ynx1)

This formula is also known as shoelace formula."

For given example,

the polygon  has vertices T(−3,1), S(−5,−4), A(−8,1), and N(−4,5)

Consider given vertices of polygon as,

(x1, y1) = (−3,1)

(x2, y2)=(−5,−4)

(x3, y3)=(−8,1)

(x4, y4)=(−4,5)

Using the formula of area of the polygon the area of the polygon ABCD would be,

A = 1/2 * | (x1y2 - x2y1) + ( x2y3 - x3y2) + .....+ (x4y1 - y4x1)

so, solving we get,

A = 1/2 | 17 + 27 - 36 -11|

A = 3/2

Therefore, the area of the polygon ABCD is 3/2 square units.
