At​ noon, a tank contained 8 in. of water. After several​ hours, it contained 6 in. of water. What is the percent decrease of water in the​ tank?

Part A:

To find the average rate of change, let us first write out the equation to find it.

Δy/Δx = average rate of change.  

Finding average rate of change for Section A

Δy = f(1) - f(0) = 2(3)^1 - 2(3)^0 = 6 - 1 = 5

Δx = 1- 0 = 1

Plug the numbers in: Δy/Δx = 5/1 = 5

Therefore, the average rate of change for Section A is 5.  

Finding average rate of change for Section B

Δy = f(3) - f(2) = 2(3)^3 - 2(3)^2 = 2(27) - 2(9) = 54 - 18 = 36

Δx = 3 - 2 = 1

Plug the numbers in: Δy/Δx = 36/1 = 36

Therefore, the average rate of change for Section B is 36.  

Part B:

(a) How many times greater is the average rate of change of Section B than Section A?

If Section B is on the interval [2,3] and Section A is on the interval [0,1].  

For the function f(x) = 2(3)^x, the average rate of change of Section B is 7.2 times greater than the average rate of change of Section A.  

(b) Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other.  

Since f(x) = 2(3)^x is an exponential function the y values do not increase linearly, instead increase exponentially. In an interval with smaller x values the rate of change is lower than an interval with larger x values.

Problem 1

--------------------

Explanation:

a1 = 1.7 = amount of concrete for the first step

a4 = x = amount of concrete for the fourth step

Sn = sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence

Sn = (n/2)*(a1 + an)

S4 = (4/2)*(a1 + a4)

S4 = 2(1.7+x)

S4 = 2x+3.4

S4 = 17

2x+3.4 = 17

2x = 17-3.4

2x = 13.6

x = (13.6)/2

x = 6.8

We need 6.8 cubic feet of concrete for the fourth step. We'll use this value to help us find the common difference d

an = nth term of an arithmetic sequence

an = a1 + d(n-1)

a4 = a1 + d(4-1)

a4 = a1 + 3d

6.8 = 1.7 + 3d

6.8-1.7 = 3d

5.1 = 3d

(5.1)/3 = d

1.7 = d

d = 1.7

Coincidentally, the common difference is the same as the first term. This won't always happen.

Now we can compute the 12th term

an = a1 + d(n-1)

a12 = 1.7 + 1.7(12-1)

a12 = 20.4

which is then used to find the sum of the first 12 terms

Sn = (n/2)*(a1 + an)

S12 = (12/2)*(a1 + a12)

S12 = 6(1.7 + 20.4)

S12 = 132.6

=============================================================

Problem 2

--------------------

Explanation:

The center is (h,k) = (0,10) which is where the nozzle is located.

The distance from (0,10) to (0,25) is 15 units, so r = 15.

Also, the distance from (0,10) to (0,-5) is also 15 units.

Plug those values into the equation below.

[tex](x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\(x-0)^2 + (y-10)^2 = 15^2\\\\x^2 + (y-10)^2 = 225\\\\[/tex]

That equation represents the boundary of the circle, which is where the water can reach.

=============================================================

Problem 3

--------------------

Explanation:

Or note that,

a3 = 0.81*(a2) = 0.81*(0.81a1) = a1*(0.81)^2 = 6.7*(0.81)^2 =  4.39587

which must mean,

This is based off the idea that [tex]a_n = a(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

So,

a6 = a1*(0.81)^5

a6 = 6.7*(0.81)^5

a6 = 2.33614554867

a6 = 2.336

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The share of stock is $88.33 worth now which is the value of a share of stock on the stock market decreased by 14%.

The percentage is defined as a ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

For example, If Saima obtained a score of 57% on her exam, that corresponds to 67 out of 100. It is expressed as 57/100 in fractional form and as 57:100 in ratio form.

The value of a share of stock on the stock market decreased by 14%. If it used to be worth $102.64 which is given in the question.

We have to determine the evaluation of 15% of 60.

⇒ 14% of $102.64

15%  is expressed as 15/100 in fractional form

⇒ (14/100)(102.64)

15/100  is expressed as 0.15 in decimal form

⇒ (0.14)(102.64)

Apply the multiplication operation, and we get

⇒ 14.31

Therefore, 14% of $102.64 would be $14.31.

The share of stock is worth now: $102.64 - $14.31 = $88.33.

Answer:

The numbers are 11,12,13

The smallest number is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

The next number is x+1

The third number is x+2

x+x+1+x+2 = 36

Combine like terms

3x+3 = 36

Subtract 3 from each side

3x+3-3 = 36-3

3x=33

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 33/3

x=11

The numbers are 11,12,13

The smallest number is 11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As they are similar triangles

24/AB = 24/2AD = 12/AD = (x + 2)/AD

12 = x + 2

x = 10

(y + 6) + (x - 3) / 24 = (y + 6)/(x + 2)

(y + 6) + (10 - 3) / 24 = (y + 6)/(10 + 2)

             (y + 13) / 24 = (y + 6)/12

                 12(y + 13) = 24(y + 6)

                12y + 156 = 24y + 144

                          12y = 12

                             y = 1

AC = (y + 6) + (x - 3)

AC = (1 + 6) + (10 - 3)

AC = 14

From the power rules, the power [tex]3^{-2}[/tex] is equal to the fraction [tex](\frac{1}{3})^{-2}[/tex].

There are different power rules one of them is the negative exponent. For this rule when you have a negative exponent, you need to invert the number, i.e, the power base is converted to the denominator. After that, you should solve the power with a positive exponent.  See the  examples:

[tex]5^{-3}=(\frac{1}{5})^3=\frac{1}{125} \\ \\ \\ {\frac{4}{6} }^{-2}={\frac{6}{4} }^2=\frac{36}{16}[/tex]

Then, the question gives:

[tex]3^{-2}=({\frac{1}{3}})^2[/tex]

Answer:

110

Step-by-step explanation:

Know the angle for BCD which is 130.

Subtract 180 from 130 and you get angle c for the triangle which is 50

Already knowing B and C, add them both which comes up to 70

All triangle angles equal 180 so subtract 70 for 180 and you get 110

Okay so 18 chairs were used more for 6 more rows so each row has 3 length.

x = 3

Now this makes no sense, because I don't know why you would leave 6 chairs if you only have 3 chairs for each row but....(Hue is weird so let's not question him)

Anyways mathematically

first arrangement = 2x + 6

second arrangement = 8x - 12

2x + 6 = 8x - 12
