The cost of a pound of strawberries at a local market increases at a rate of 2.1% per year due to greater agricultural costs. The following exponential expression gives the cost of a pound of strawberries after t years. 3.50(1.021)^t

Which of the following expressions reveals the monthly rate of increase for the cost of a pound of strawberries?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 - (1.021)^(1/12) ≈ 0.17 %

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given expression 3.50 is the initial value (cost per pound at the time of the first recording) and (1.021)^t is the increase factor for a given time difference since first recording (in years).

Putting [tex]t := {\frac{1}{12}}[/tex] into that expression yields the increase factor per month and subtracting it from 1 yields the “rate” notation which is just the part that was “added” to the initial amount.

Bonus: [tex]p(u) = 3.50 \cdot (1.021)^\frac{s}{12} \approx 3.50 \cdot (1.0017)^s[/tex] is the cost function for a given time [tex]s := 12 t[/tex] in months.

Note that this approach gives you an increase rate based on an average month length. It doesn’t consider that a real month has different amount of days. For example “s = 3” means “3/12 of a year”, or “1/4 of a year” as opposed to something like “June 13 till September 13”.

Answer 2

Answer:

(1.002)12t.

Step-by-step explanation:

he expression, (1.021)t, reveals the rate of increase for the cost of a pound of strawberries per year.

In order to reveal the monthly rate of increase, rewrite the expression in terms of months. Since there are 12 months in a year, raise the growth factor for the year to the power in order to find the growth factor for the month. To keep this expression equivalent to the given expression, the exponent outside the parentheses needs to change to 12t.

Therefore, the expression that reveals the monthly rate of increase for the cost of a pound of strawberries is (1.002)12t.

Explicit function of a sequence

Given the function that represents a given given graph a f(x) = -x + 5

For the first term of the sequence, x = 1. Substitute into the function;

f(1) = -1 + 5

f(1) = 4

This shows that the point (1.4) means the 1st term of the sequence is 4.

For the second term, x = 2

f(2) = -2 + 5

f(2) = 3

This shows that the point (2, 3) means the 2nd term of the sequence is 3.

Where is the problem

solve the following equation by completing the square. 4x2 -16 x + 8=0 ​

Answers

Answer:

x = 2±sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2 -16 x + 8=0

Move the 8 to the right side by subtracting 8 from each side

4x^2 -16 x + 8-8=0-8

4x^2 -16 x =- 8

Get the x^2 term to have a coefficient of 1 by dividing each term by 4

x^2 -4x = -2

Take the coefficient of x and divide by 2 and then square it

-4/2 = -2    

(-2 )^2 = 4

Add this to each side

x^2 - 4x +4  = -2 +4

Factor the right side into ( x +b/2)^2  where b is the coefficient of x

(x-2)^2 = 2

Take the square root of each side

x-2 = ±sqrt(2)

Add 2 to each side

x = 2±sqrt(2)

Answer:

Perimeter =  28·√2 + 24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the initial sheet of plywood are;

The length of the sheet of plywood = 25 ft.

The width of the sheet of plywood = 14 ft.

The shape cut from each corner of the sheet of plywood  = A right triangle

The leg length of each of the cut out right triangles = 7 ft.

The number of leg lengths of the right triangle cut from the length side of the initial sheet of plywood = 2

The length of the parallel sides of the remaining hexagonal piece of plywood = Initial length of the plywood - 2 × The leg length of the cut out right triangle

∴ The length of the parallel sides of the remaining hexagonal piece of plywood = 26 ft. - 2 × 7 ft.  = 12 ft.

The other side length of the remaining hexagonal piece of plywood = The hypotenuse side of the cut out right triangle

The hypotenuse side of the cut out right triangle = √((7 ft.)² + (7 ft.)²) = 7·√2 ft.

∴ The other side length of the remaining hexagonal piece of plywood = 7·√2

The number of side lengths in the remaining hexagonal piece of plywood = 4

The perimeter of the remaining hexagonal piece of plywood = 2 × The length of the parallel sides + 4 × The other side lengths

∴ The perimeter of the remaining hexagonal piece of plywood = 2 × 12 ft. + 4 × 7·√2 = (28·√2 + 24) ft.

The perimeter of the remaining hexagonal piece of plywood = (28·√2 + 24) feet

Highlight the points to the right from -5

Answer:

[tex]n>-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

−105<−7(5−2n)

Divide both sides by −7. Since −7 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

[tex]\frac{-105}{-7}[/tex] > 5−2n

Divide −105 by −7 to get 15.

15>5−2n

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.

5−2n<15

Subtract 5 from both sides.

−2n<15−5

Subtract 5 from 15 to get 10.

−2n<10

Divide both sides by −2. Since −2 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

Divide 10 by −2 to get −5.

Answer:

7 dimes16 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let d represent the number of dimes. Then the number of quarters is 23-d, and the total value of the change is ...

  0.10d + 0.25(23 -d) = 4.70

  -0.15d + 5.75 = 4.70

  1.05 = 0.15d . . . . . . . . add 0.15d -4.70 to both sides

  7 = d . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.15

There were 7 dimes in the change purse.

Usually when people try to find a warmer temperature. They look for the biggest number, one that has more value, as in this case, people would tend to say since 5 is bigger than 2, therefore it must be warmer. Wrong. What we're dealing with here is negatives, this goes backwards, the number that is smaller is warmer, following that logic. Which is a warmer temperature?

-5 or -2?
