3. The number of home phones Best Bytes sold
decreased by 14% each year after 1987. Write
a function to represent the number of home
phones sold x years after 1987.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of phones sold in 1987 is k.

The rate of decrease is

1 - 14% = 1 - 0.14 = 0.86

The function to represent the number of phones P sold after x years after 1987 is

P(x) = k(0.86ˣ)
Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]f(x)=a(0.86)^x[/tex]

where:

a is the number of phones sold in 1987x is the number of years after 1987

Step-by-step explanation:

General form of an exponential function:

  [tex]f(x)=ab^x[/tex]

where:

a is the initial valueb is the growth/decay factor in decimal formx is the independent variablef(x) is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

Given:

f(x) = number of home phones sold after 1987x = years after 1987a = number of phones sold in 1987

If the number of phones decreased by 14% each year, then each year the number of phones will be 86% of the previous year
(100% - 14% = 86%)

Therefore, b = 86% = 0.86

Substitute the given and found values into the general form of the function to create a function to represent the number of home phones sold:

   [tex]f(x)=a(0.86)^x[/tex]

where:

a is the number of phones sold in 1987x is the number of years after 1987

Determine the shaded area.
9 ft
(
The shaded area is
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Answers

Shaded area = area of square - area of a circle.

[tex] \\ \\ [/tex]

For this we have to find area of both square and circle which is visible in the picture.

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Part one :

In this part we'll find area of circle.

Given :

radius = 9ft

To find :

Area of circle

Solution:

We know :

[tex] \boxed{ \rm Area \: of \: circle =\pi {r}^{2} }[/tex]

Steps :

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Area \: of \: circle =\pi {r}^{2}[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Area \: of \: circle = \dfrac{22}{7} \times {9}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Area \: of \: circle = \dfrac{22}{7} \times 9 \times 9[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Area \: of \: circle = \dfrac{22}{7} \times 81[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Area \: of \: circle = \dfrac{22\times 81}{7}[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Area \: of \: circle = \dfrac{1782}{7}[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\bf Area \: of \: circle =254.57 \: ft {}^{2} \\ [/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Part 2

As it's visible diameter of circle = side of square.

So we have to find diameter of circle.

We know :-

[tex] \boxed{ \rm Diameter \: of \: circle =2 \: radius}[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Steps:-

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Diameter \: of \: circle =2 \: radius \\ [/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Diameter \: of \: circle =2 \times 9\\ [/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\bf Diameter \: of \: circle =18 \: ft[/tex]

We have :

side of square = 18 ft

To find:

Area of square

Solution:

We know :

[tex] \boxed{ \rm Area \: of \: square= {side}^{2} }[/tex]

Steps :

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Area \: of \: square= {side}^{2}[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Area \: of \: square= {18}^{2}[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\sf Area \: of \: square= {18} \times 18[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\bf Area \: of \: square= 324 \: {ft}^{2} [/tex]

Part three:

Remember the first line of answer ? :)

So let's insert here:-

[tex] \boxed{ \text{Shaded area = area of square - area of a circle}}[/tex]

Steps :-

[tex] \dashrightarrow\textsf{Shaded area = area of square - area of a circle} \\ [/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\textsf{Shaded area = 324 - 254.57} \\ [/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow\textbf{Shaded area = 69.43 }\bf {ft}^{2} \\ [/tex]

Hey Rachael is removed from a rectangle to create the shaded region chandelier find the area of the shaded region be sure to include the correct unit in youranswer

Answers

Answer:

34.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shaded region is the area of the rectangle minus the area of the right triangle.

The area of the rectangle is simply the length 7 cm multiplied by the width 6 cm.

To find the area of the right triangle, you must first find the base and height of the triangle.

The two lengths can be found this way:

7 cm - 2 cm = 5 cm

6 cm - 3 cm = 3 cm

area of shaded region = LW - bh/2

area of shaded region = 7 cm × 6 cm - 5 cm × 3 cm / 2

area of shaded region = 42 cm² - 7.5 cm²

area of shaded region = 34.5 cm²

If you think I am wrong plug them in and add them up to see if they equal 720

Answer:

m∠F = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angles in a hexagon is 720.

( x - 60 ) + ( x - 40 ) + 130 + 120 + 110 + ( x - 20 ) = 720

x + x + x - 60 - 40 - 20 + 130 + 120 + 110 = 720

3x - 120 + 120 + 130 + 110 = 720

3x + 130 + 110 = 720

3x + 240 = 720

3x = 720 - 240

3x = 480

x = 480 / 3

x = 120

m∠F = x - 20

Substitute the value of x,

m∠F = 120 - 20

m∠F = 100

Solving Trig. Equations

Answers

In each solution, n is an arbitrary integer.

1. Nothing fancy, just take the inverse tangent.

tan(x) = -5

x = arctan(-5) + nπ

x = -arctan(5) + nπ

2. Recall the identity cos(2x) = 2 cos²(x) - 1, then factorize:

cos(2x) - 3 cos(x) + 2 = 0

(2 cos²(x) - 1) - 3 cos(x) + 2 = 0

2 cos²(x) - 3 cos(x) + 1 = 0

(2 cos(x) - 1) (cos(x) - 1) = 0

2 cos(x) - 1 = 0   or   cos(x) - 1 = 0

cos(x) = 1/2   or   cos(x) = 1

[x = arccos(1/2) + 2nπ   or   x = -arccos(1/2) + 2nπ]

…   or   x = arccos(1) + 2nπ

x = π/3 + 2nπ   or   x = -π/3 + 2nπ   or   x = 2nπ

3. By definition, csc(x) = 1/sin(x) :

csc(2x) + √2 = 0

csc(2x) = -√2

1/sin(2x) = -√2

sin(2x) = -1/√2

2x = arcsin(-1/√2) + 2nπ   or   2x = π - arcsin(-1/√2) + 2nπ

2x = -π/4 + 2nπ   or   2x = 5π/4 + 2nπ

x = -π/8 + nπ   or   x = 5π/8 + nπ

4. More factorization:

2 sin²(x) - sin(x) = 0

sin(x) (2 sin(x) - 1) = 0

sin(x) = 0   or   2 sin(x) - 1 = 0

sin(x) = 0   or   sin(x) = 1/2

x = arcsin(0) + 2nπ

…   or   [x = arcsin(1/2) + 2nπ   or   x = π - arcsin(1/2) + 2nπ]

x = 2nπ   or   x = π/6 + 2nπ   or   x = 5π/6 + 2nπ

5. Yet more factorization. Also recall that |cos(x)| ≤ 1 for all x.

4 cos²(x) - 8 cos(x) + 3 = 0

(2 cos(x) - 3) (2 cos(x) - 1) = 0

2 cos(x) - 3 = 0   or   2 cos(x) - 1 = 0

cos(x) = 3/2   or   cos(x) = 1/2

The first case gives no solution since 3/2 > 1.

x = arccos(1/2) + 2nπ   or   x = -arccos(1/2) + 2nπ

x = π/3 + 2nπ   or   x = -π/3 + 2nπ

6. Recall the identity sin(a - b) = sin(a) cos(b) - cos(a) sin(b).

sin(2x) cos(x) - cos(2x) sin(x) = -√3/2

sin(2x - x) = -√3/2

sin(x) = -√3/2

x = arcsin(-√3/2) + 2nπ   or   x = π - arcsin(-√3/2) + 2nπ

x = -π/3 + 2nπ   or   x = 4π/3 + 2nπ

A sample of students is taken from the school's A honor roll. The school estimates that there are 360 students on the A honor roll. Using this sample how many students on the A honor roll are 8th graders. There are 14 8th graders on the A honor roll.

Answers

Answer:

Number of 7th grade = 360 - X

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see this question is not complete and lacks the essential data. But we will try to create a mathematical expression to calculate the number of students on the A honor roll which are from &th grade. As we know: Total number of students on the A honor roll = 360 We are asked to calculate, number of students from 7th grade on the A honor roll. So, let's assume that "X" represents the all the students who are on the A honor roll except 7th grade. Mathematical Expression: Number of 7th Graders = Total number of students on the A honor roll - X Number of 7th Graders = 360 - X So, if you know the value of X, you can easily calculate the number of students which are from 7th grade on the A honor roll.

Answer:

There are 126 8th grade A honor roll students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 14 8th grade A honor roll students out of 40 A honor roll students. That means that the fraction is 14/40. After that we do 14/40x360 which results in 126.

Three times a number plus three times a second number is negative twelve. Five times the first number plus twice the second is four

Answers

Consider the numbers as, if we assume our first number to be x and second number being y, then from the given information we will be having the following equations :

[tex]{:\implies \quad \begin{cases}\sf 3x+3y=-12\\ \\ \sf 5x+2y=4\end{cases}}[/tex]

Now, rewrite the second equation as ;

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 3(x+y)=-12}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3 ;

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf x+y=-4\quad ---(i)}[/tex]

Now, consider the second equation of the above cases

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 5x+2y=4\quad ---(ii)}[/tex]

Now, multiply (i) by 2 on both sides :

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 2x+2y=-8\quad ---(iii)}[/tex]

Now, subtracting (ii) from (iii) will give us :

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 2x+2y-(5x+2y)=-8-4}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 2x+2y-5x-2y=-12}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf -3x=-12}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \boxed{\bf{x=4}}}[/tex]

Now, putting x = 4 in (i), will give y + 4 = -4, then solving for y will yield [tex]{\boxed{\bf{y=-8}}}[/tex]

Hence, we can conclude that :
